Maybe I'm a little fucked up but unlike the critics and most of the internet I can't muster up any real ire for this movie. Not to say that it's good exactly, but the premise is basically just "watch John McClane from Die Hard and a cop version of Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock hang out" and I was down for that.

After this I decided I'm not a fan of Kevin Smith anymore.

I love everyone involved with the project, but the film is very forgettable, with only a few cheap laughs. Still worth one watch, but doesn't stick out from any kind of crowd.

Bruce Willis as... you guessed it... a cop. Tracy Morgan as... you guessed it... an idiot. It's weak and formulaic. I'm disappointed in Kevin Smith for taking on this weak script that seems more like an homage to better movies than an original in itself. Once again we have a dad who couldn't pull his weight in his responsibilities as a husband so now his last chance for redemption is to do something big to impress his daughter, when all she really wants is a relationship with her father.

fuck you

Quite a few laughs. Not the nonsensical frathouse stuff like Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn either. A decent, reaching action comedy with some actual drama behind it.

Likte den jeg

Kill me please. I love Bruce Willis which is the only reason I bought this film, but damn this was not for him.

One of the very few movies I never finished. I usually force my self to sit through them, but I was in bed watching it online and I feel asleep and there just wasn't enough going for it to make be come back to it when I woke up.

Morgan shines thru this muddled plot with the aid of Willis's charisma, otherwise standard cop/buddy fare.

Cop Out is a hilarious, exciting throwback to the buddy cop movies of old. Light on action and filled with comedy, Cop Out is almost like a Lethal Weapon for this generation. There's even a "One two three and shoot?" discussion that put a gigantic grin on my face. You might not enjoy it all that much, but I sure as hell did. "YIPPIE KI YAY MOTHERFUCKER!" "I haven't seen that movie."

I'm totally up for movies that are totally derivative of other movies. Tarantino made a career of these types of films, but Kevin Smith should stay as far away from the genre. The opening sequence, where Paul says his interrogation style is 'homage' to movies, should have been enough. Rather, every time there's a movie reference, the characters feel the need to footnote it. "That was Robocop!" I got it. An homage includes an original twist on the bit; instead 'Cop Out' is just a witless rehash.

tracy morgan pretty much ruined this. he just might be the most annoying person in the world.

Can a comedy be funny because of how bad it is? Apparently so. Not very funny mind you, but one can't help but occasionally laugh at a film that thinks 10 year old internet jokes are funny, or one which would have been shot better by a blind person pointing the camera at where they hear sound coming from. It's like Kevin Smith wanted this to be a piece of shit.

If you haven't already written Cop Out off as a poor buddy cop film, I can only hope that you will give it a look. It's a really funny film that, like Morgan's character, pays homage to other films. It takes direct inspiration from 80's buddy cop films, but uses that inspiration to make an incredibly enjoyable film. The characters are likable and develop throughout, and when the film goes for an emotional response, it achieves it!

If it weren't for a few funny one-liners this movie would be complete shit (considering how every other line was a joke they had to hit a few of them). No one reached out of their limits (Bruce Willis felt like John McClaine, Tracy Morgan was Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock, and Kevin Smith was directing a relatively humorless movie...with a few Star Wars jokes). Seriously can he give the Star Wars jokes a rest? After about 6 movies with them it's getting a tad stale.

A couple of dumb chuckles but 99% worthless garbage. White cop black cop has been done to death, as has every other character and plot element in this film. Even the music is brutal. All Tracy Morgan does is yell, and all Bruce Willis does is smirk. An all-round pitiful effort.

Bruce Willis spends the movie trying to recover a lost baseball card to pay for his daughters wedding and Tracy Morgan thinks his wife is cheating on him. That is the entire plot of what is supposed to be a comedy spoof of 80s buddy cop movies. There's nothing here that evens calls back to stuff like 48 hours or Lethal Weapon except the purposely awful score. Zero chemistry between any of the actors and no evidence that the guy who directed Clerks 2 or Zack and Miri was anywhere near this pile.

It was a lot of fun!

Kevin Smith doesn't rise up to the challenge of mixing action with his comedy, but 'Cop Out' isn't the disaster it's been hailed as. Bruce Willis is always welcome in a film, but he and Tracy Morgan simply lack the right combination of budding personalities. The loose plot and lackluster dialogue doesn't help as they have little scenes to work with. A few do stand out, and there is potential here. Smith just failed to direct the right script for these guys to shine. Overall, I didn't hate it.

Just hilarious. I laughed more watching this film than during any other comedy I watched lately. This film is just filled with action, hilarious scenes and a story which isn't bad but rather good in its own way. I think you love or hate this one and I defenitely loved it!

The plot and the music could have done with a rehash, but other than that it was a passable comedy.

Good movie and VERY FUNNY.

Pretty fucking funny if you don't take it seriously. The opening scene is perfect for people who like silly vigilante-esque take-power-over-your-life-but-make-it-a-parody-what-am-I-saying-took--too-much-Xanax.

A bit too vulgar for my tastes, but I sill loled.

This seemed like it should have been an ordinary action film but when Tracey Morgan showed an interest they twisted it into a action/comedy. But here is the problem: It's not funny. Tracey Morgan was totally wrong for this film or the film was wrong for him. He sticks out like a sore thumb, hamming up every scene, sucking the entertainment away like a vacuum. Also the Beverly Hills Cop music felt deliberately placed to evoke the happier memory of a GOOD buddy cop action/comedy.

Kevin Smith's movies all have a habit of blowing off major subplots to embarrassing degrees. You could say that it was intended, but it takes me out of the film. I feel like some of my time was wasted in what was really just a poorly executed exercise in self-gratification. I can't say it's all worth seeing, but Seann William Scott does a decent job, I think.

The plot is bad, but there were a few laugh-out-loud funny jokes that enabled me to give this a 4/10.

awful movie

All because of Tracy Morgan.

A good example of a movie's title also being an accurate review.
