SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

funbaggs This is not a remake or a knockoff of the first one with Burt, but i really enjoyed this film because it was fresh and new and had good feel to it that connected with the actors. I would highly recommend this to watch with your kids and see how good this film is..

soulians A bit shocked to watch a great actor such as Lou Diamonds Phillips in this kind of movie. To my taste it i a 4/10, I have seen much better family movies but from this point of view I would give a 5/10.It is OK overall. The drones are quite good and give an edge to the film.Lovely relationship between the two protagonists.

galatan-21980 I was disappointed to see that there was a secret relationship with a grown man in a position of authority and a 12 year old girl, a relationship that continued through texting and sharing photos after the "case" was over. Children and adults are not friends and a 12 year old girl has no business secretly meeting up with a 50 year old man.The story line of a 12 year old girl who dreams of being a cop but is vulnerable and unsupervised by her single parent mom is not a unique one, however considering the threats to online dangers for youth I am surprised by the themes portrayed.

lavatch In the bonus track of the DVD for "Cop and a Half: New Recruit," the filmmakers described the project as a throwback to the 1980s "buddy cop" films now updated and revised with the latest technology for family entertainment. The energetic cast, including Wallace Shawn as the stodgy Principal Miller, helps to maintain the fast-moving pace of this light-hearted piece of fluff.The film was successful in creating the team of a beleaguered, "scruffy" detective (Lou Diamond Phillips) and a kid from the local Darville Middle School, who is an aspiring undercover cop. The little kid playing the role is great, and Phillips is perfect as the jaded detective in need of the kid's wherewithal and expertise in the new technology.There is an inventive theme to the kid's approach to detective work: "Don't panic. Just work the problem." The Americana that is depicted in the film is that of a Normal Rockwell painting. Except, in this case, there is a disgruntled law enforcement official calling himself the Badge Bandit, who beleaguers the town with pranks unleashed through drones to culminate with an embarrassing display set to occur during the Harvest Valley Festival.There is never any true danger, and there is great fun throughout the adventure. The one-liners and the gags are good. The kid knows all the cop lingo ("perp," "copy that," and "10-4, Cap"), and she also coins the word "ridonkulous" that seems like a perfect description of this inconsequential film experience as a whole.
