Super Troopers 2

As in the original, the amiable, laid-back tone generates enormous good cheer.

Sorry, I didn't order this.

A sequel nobody needed, and very few demanded, but one that is nice to have anyway. Very daft and very childish and mostly very funny.

I have to admit to one or two more laughs, though really not enough to justify sitting through the whole thing.

Cue the relentless and grimly xenophobic French-accent jokes, the wearisome genital jokes and sometimes both at once.

You may find yourself laughing once or twice against your better instincts.

Color me surprised that this partially crowd-funded sequel isn't a complete and utter embarrassment.

Super Troopers 2 is ... bizarrely jingoistic and sexist, which is ... strange, because the first one didn't have these problems.

Put me in the mind of the infinite monkey theorem. To paraphrase, an infinite number of frat boys hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a script at least as funny as Super Troopers 2.

It's the kind of project that feels as if good friends are palling around and improvising, while viewers will struggle to find consistent humor.
