The strongest new stunts still deliver inventive, painful slapstick, but they are smaller and less daring than the franchise’s peak. Replayed classics frequently overshadow the fresh material.

The action is limited and rarely becomes a strength. The few bursts of violence and confrontation are weakened by awkward staging and uneven performances.
