This movie hasn't aged well at all. It has every 80s cop comedy cliche you could cram into it coupled with a bland, predictable story and a lot of jokes that fall flat. Not totally a waste of time, but not very funny either.

Loses points and a recommendation for a lame second act......

The idea of parodying the original "Dragnet" and other serious, older crime shows was brilliant. Even better, Aykroyd and Hanks were at the top of their comedic powers during the late 80s, and they make for one of the best straight/funny man duos I have ever seen. The story and jokes themselves are just moderately above average, but their performances elevate them to comic gems. A terrific, excellent comedy.

Aykroid and Hanks playing their favourite and defining characters from the 80s, namely deadpan fast-talker and juvenile charmball respectively. Their rapport is funny enough, but the story is simply too silly to warrant a view.

I don't know why this isn't better than it is.

Dan Aykroyd is excellent and Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks, meaning incredibly enjoyable to watch. Some of the dialogue is just perfect, like the line about We Are the World.

fairly unenergetic comedy fodder that misuses aykroyd and hanks, mostly though morgan and plummer. the first half hour or so is the best part, but then it lags and loses it's charm. aykroyd's character is awesome in theory, but simply doesn't have the comedic ammunition required to carry an otherwise flat outing.

Comic rendition of a classic cop show. It works.

Very Good
