There really is no good reason to recommend "Cop Out"; there are, however, about a dozen bad ones, starting with the fact that it's the first gross-out comedy to come along since "The Hangover" that is actually a comedy and not just gross, although make no mistake, gross it is -- this is a Kevin Smith film after all -- so don't say you weren't warned. But there is enough ridiculous fun in the Tracy Morgan-Bruce Willis pairing as two of Brooklyn's "finest" to get many of you past the squirm-inducing stuff. After some rough sledding, Smith seems like he's come home in "Cop Out," with his loose, easy style helping to take the edge off the R rating. It's in the execution of high-concepts that Smith sometimes gets lost, but that doesn't happen here. There isn't a high concept in sight. Read reviewer's full review of "Cop Out" at the LA Times
Cop Out
Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, and Paul is his "partner-against-crime" whose preoccupation with his wife's alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.
