Getting back to its roots, Police Academy 3: Back In Training moves the series in the right director, but it comes up a bit short on laughs. When budget cuts force the state to close down one of its police academies Commandant Lassard rounds up his best graduates to help him train his last class and to try to convince the state board to keep his academy open. Most of the cast from the last film return, but their performances are rather mediocre. The writing is also pretty weak; however, the academy setting helps to make the screwball comedy work. Yet while Police Academy 3: Back In Training finds a fun and exciting way to continue the series, the jokes are getting stale and are wearing thin.
