I've laughed harder at funerals. All points go towards a behind the scenes feature I unintentionally caught on Cinemax. Bruce Willis has to hit Tracy Morgan with the butt of his gun and he makes a "booof" sound. Two takes in a row. On the third take he just mouths the sound. That's funny.

I know there's a lot of bad reviews out there, but I think it is hilarious. Very entertaining. Smith is doing a great job balancing the buddy cop and comedy genres, and Willis and Morgan both do their respective parts well. I also like the whole Beverly Hills Cop tribute within, underlined by Faltermeyer's music.

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.

Tracey Morgan tries his hardest to save this tired cliched odd couple white-black buddy cop story. Unfortunately, more memorable than the actual film was the conflict between director Kevin Smith and actor Bruce Willis during production. All this was revealed after the fact by Kevin Smith whose stories about the incidents are funnier than anything in the movie.

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!

Good to know that prior to the whole aphasia phase direct-to-video movies Willis pumped out in his last few acting years he basically gave Smith the middle finger and said "yeah, i'll take your money, but I won't do anything you want." If you listen to Smith's story--as a fan, it's kind of sad to get an action icon like Willis in a movie and have him give zero effort.

As a fan of Kevin Smith's films I don't really know what to say. In a word this is a disappointment for sure. It has moments of humour but often the humour feels forced and dragged-out to the point of mimicking Family Guy. Now Bruce Willis has some great moments but I simply found Tracy Morgan to be grating. Add to all this one of the worst soundtracks ever and you've just got a mess that does occasionally deliver a funny joke. Overall it's a chore to watch though.

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.

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.

At least Smith didn't write this. That's a weird thing to say, but this film is way too immature for him. It is fairly entertaining (read: doesn't make you to want to rip your head off), but nothing that stays after end credits roll off. Maybe it's best this way.

Disjointed and nobody is really on their game here. Tracy Morgan should have been unleashed a whole lot more, Willis obviously couldn't be arsed (and I've heard that caused a slew of problems) and using Faltermeyer for the score was a miss step as it leads to way too much similarity to the early Beverly Hills Cops. That comparison was already there, but when the film sort of plods along you don't want it. Some good moments, but not enough of them.

By-the-book buddy comedy. This is director Smith's first time out as a hired gun, strapped with somebody else's script, a script sufficiently potty-mouthed by most standards but perhaps not by Smith's. After the likes of Clerks II and Zack and Miri Make a Porno, no one but the clinically delusional could feel disappointed in him.

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.

It was a pretty typical comedy/action/buddy cop movie. It was pretty badly-received so my expectations were fairly low. It wasn't that bad though, for what it was. I did laugh. Not a lot, but I did. I do quite like Bruce Willis too. It's not a great film, and I wouldn't really recommend it, but I've seen worse.

Midway through the film, I realized that the background music was ripping off the music from Fletch and Beverly Hills Cop in equal, annoying amounts, so much that I was sure Smith, in his effort to pay tribute, had actually hired Harold Faltermeyer to do the soundtrack. I was right.

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."

Unexpectedly more gritty than funny, not that it's funny. Last thing I expected was to like the plot, which I found surprisingly unique, but again is terribly unfunny. Bruce Willis sleepwalks his way through and somehow that's what works best; an indifferent cop who's been doing this shit for far too long.

I was really surprised to find out that this movie was directed by Kevin Smith. I thought that this film was pretty bad. The basis of the whole thing was pretty stupid. Two cops get suspended for being too reckless and get put on probation. While they are off their cases Bruce Willis finds out his daughter is getting married and he needs to pay for it. So he has to sell a baseball card that ends up getting stolen. They go through a lot to get the card back. Sean William Scott was great though.

(Viewed in 08/10):Cop Out was Smith's first film working from a script that he didn't pen, which means he was operating without the usual safety net. In retrospect, this proved damaging to his career because it confirmed that he simply lacks the chops to function well outside of his milieu, an impression that was only strengthened with his next 3 films. Willis and Morgan are OK as two bickering buddy cops, but the jokes are weak, the action is clumsy, and the retro-electro score is forced.

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.

Cop Out is another run of the mill buddy cop film trying to mix both action and humour. And like so many films before it, Cop Out fails to make the action or the humour work. Bruce Willis like so often these days seems to have zero interest and enthusiasm in his performance. And Tracy Morgan is a horribly annoying sidekick. There's a handful of references to chuckle at but otherwise this film falls flat. Kevin Smith directs but I think this film would be dramatically better if he wrote it also.

These two are a more awkward combo than I've seen in a long time. The film is mostly brainless and pleasant, but when the jokes fall flat it's painful--and some of them go on for a long time. On one hand, Seann William Scott is funny in every scene and the retro synth score is sort of delightful. On the other hand, why is Morgan drooling all over the place? Something happened to this film, in the direction or the editing, because there's funny material here, it just doesn't come together.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Action comedy about two longtime New York City policemen, partners, on the trail of a rare, stolen mint-condition baseball card. The script is merrily riddled with buddy-cop cliches... director Kevin Smith is operating with a studio-fortified budget for the first time in his checkered career... while the plot is as flimsy as a hooker's halter top, it's buoyed by two actors with attitude and timing.

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.

Seems like a generic movie cops, as have millions of these, after Beverly Hills Cop, with action and comedy. But it is not successful in any genre. And I usually like the comedies of Kevin Smith, but this is sucks.
