My apologies to Kevin Smith and everyone else involved...

THANK you! This movie was really good. I finished it feeling more satisfied than I have after most recent movies

I agree with everything you said.
Cop Out may be one of the funniest movies of 2010.

Seann William Scott = Sexiness <3

I just want to say I don't wish to argue with you at all. I am glad you enjoyed the movie, I just wish I was in your boat. I really do because I love Tracy Morgan, Bruce Willis and Kevin Smith.

I expected this movie to be very very funny, but what I got was something of a misfire. The jokes seemed to fall flat 90% of the time, but the other 10% (the scenes with Sean William Scott) were midly ammusing. That dude is hilarious.

All I can think is that Kevin Smith was not the right director (or editor) for this film. I understand he wanted to try to do a Big 80s byddy cop movie hommage (pun intended), but maybe he would be better off writing one instead of directing it? I was just disappointed, and think maybe he should try and stay away from action is all.

Also, I could not believe that a woman could be trapped in the trunk of a car for 2 days and have it go unnoticed by the car thieves and the guy who would eventaully end up with the car. Let this be a leasson to everyone here, if you are buying a car, open the trunk. There might be a hot chick in there, lol. Just seemed to be a bit of a stretch. That is the type of thing Kevin Smith the writer would never have let squeek by. He is too smart to think the audience would buy into that. That is also the problem with Smith as the director, his audience comes with him, and sometimes that is a good thing. In the case of Cop Out, it wasn't a positive as most of them were disappointed. That's all, but I am glad you liked it.

To be honest I found it hard to get into this film. It just seemed like running tribute to the cop buddy movie, and that, for me, lead it to becoming a cliche. Which is frustrating because I thoroughly enjoy just about everything Kevin Smith does. I mean, perhaps it's just for that reason that I didn't enjoy this nearly as much as I have done his previous work. I knew the premise and the cast before watching it, but I was hoping the commercials had hidden the usual high jinks we get from Kevin Smith films... We expect dirty humour, outrageous characters and clever plots, but what we had here was an attempt to re-awaken the genre of comedy cop-buddy action films. However, this means we have to compare it to films such as 48 Hours (the original comedy cop-buddy action film that started it all off), Bad Boys and Lethal Weapon. And I'm afraid, in my opinion it just missed the mark on everything from script, to characters, to action, to acting and to photography/direction. Again, I like Bruce Willis' work up till now. But I just couldn't relate to his character whatsoever and didn't feel invested in his life at all, and Tracy Morgan is once again just type cast in this film and, for me, doesn't fit into the genre in the slightest.

Still, I wouldn't say I wasn't entertained over the last 2 hours or so, was just a little disappointed. Still, I might go ahead and watch Clerks again in a minute..!

6/10

Yeah I totally agree, this was just a classic cop movie. They don't make it like this anymore.

OMG......to the OP.......what a pathetic cockgobbler

Hmmm...

Bruce played it OK, Sean William Scott always a giggle. Tracy Morgan is just *beep* annoying, talentless, shouty moron (an ugly, fat, un-funny version of Chris Rock) and he ruined what little credibility this movie was given by the other actors.

But maybe I missed the best parts - I turned it off after 45 minutes and lamented the purchase of the DVD - I guess there's a reason it was in the bargains section.
