RATING: 3 out of 5 stars (R)
As a reminder, my ratings aren’t always about the overall artistic merit of the covered film. In the case of intentionally dumb, gross comedies like this, or other niche fare, I tend to award stars on how good a job they do in making the sort of product they’re offering. In that spirit, the hilarious action spoof MACHETE, ranks among my all-time faves, while it’s disappointing sequel fared worse. Good crap deserves praise for rising above badly-made crap, whether action, horror or lowbrow comedy. Junk food can be tasty, too.
So those who enjoyed the slapstick and other adolescent antics of this batch of goofy Vermont state troopers in the 2001 original should find satisfaction in their new “adventure”. This time they’re tasked with endearing themselves to the locals in a chunk of rural Canada that’s being ceded to the US for some inane reason. Things go badly with the Mounties they’re replacing, most of the Canadians, who prefer their current citizenship to ours and what seems to be a sizable smuggling operation.
