Are you a huge Kevin Smith film? Are you skeptical of this film as it is his first film he did not write and is directing? Fear not, even though it is done by a major motion picture studio, it is a great film and still has that Kevin Smith flare that his fans know and love. Cop Out still has that special thing that makes his movies his own.
So you take two different actors, completely opposite of each other, Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. Surprisingly their chemistry works well together as they both play cops in New York City. And of course, they have a hilarious and unusual way of working together. Mix all that together with some really great comedy, they did a very great job with this movie. If you watch carefully, it looks as if Bruce Willis is trying to contain himself from laughing so hard.
The plot of the movie is that both of the main characters are police officers. They are placed on probation for failing to catch a criminal and cause a mass neighborhood gun fight they are suspended with out pay for a month. However, Bruce Willis' character, Jimmy, needs that money to go towards his only daughter and child's wedding. In order to pay for the wedding he decides to sell one of his prized possessions, his 1952 Andy Pafko baseball card. Later on in the movie, Jimmy is robbed while he is going to appraise and sell his card by Sean William Scott's character, Dave. Many will remember Sean William Scott from the various American Pie movies. He definitely continues in his humorous role on this movie.
And guess who plays Jimmy's ex-wife's new husband, the one and only Jason Lee, that many of the Smith followers should remember from all of his other films. As usual, Lee plays the perfect scumbag! Jimmy insists on selling the card to get the money to pay for the wedding so Lee's character, Roy does not take all the credit for it.
After a many up and downs and twists and turns that no one would expect, the cops end up in a major drug ring, and to not spoil the movie, you will have to see what happens in the movie for yourself! Just think, how can a baseball card, get them into a drug ring?
For those Kevin Smith followers, you can still see the typical Smith jokes and familiar tones in the movie. From the hilarious jokes of sexual nature, the way it was filmed and even the music chosen for the film, it has the same feel as all of his other cult classic films. And his reasoning for directing the film was classic, he felt that it was as if the two cops were married but not and it reminded him of Dante and Randal from his hit film Clerks.
This film was released in the United States originally in February 26, 2010 and then again in the United Kingdom in May of 2010. Before it was officially released on DVD and pay per view, it had grossed about 53 million. With a budget of about 37 million, it is not a massive money making film, but very worth seeing.
If you are wanting a hilarious, shoot'em up, out of the ordinary cop movie, seeing Cop Out is a must. It runs for 107 minutes total and it will be 107 minutes you will not regret.
