Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

From Trivia: "The screenplay was in the 2008 Black List (a list of the best unproduced screenplays)."Maybe "Black List" was blacklisted for a reason. The whole premise is shite, no idea why anyone would bother with this boring screenplay.Maybe it's the fact that no actor in this movie is actually funny. The try hard black guy, the wooden white guy or the boring brown people. Can't tell who was the worst.Wanna watch a funny buddy cop movie? Go watch "The Other Guys", which is hilarious and actors in it are actually funny.As for this mess, generic plot, boring movie, as funny as bashing your head against a wall.

Jimmy Monroe (Bruce Willis) and Paul Hodges (Tracy Morgan) are arguing NYPD partners in Brooklyn for 9 years. After a botched surveillance operation, they are suspended for a month by Captain Jack Romans without pay. Jimmy needs $48k for his daughter Ava (Michelle Trachtenberg)'s wedding. Stepfather Roy offers to pay and Jimmy takes offense. He tries to sell his valuable baseball card worth $83k but he is robbed by small time thieve Dave (Seann William Scott). Paul suspects his wife Debbie (Rashida Jones) is cheating on him with the next door neighbor Henry. It turns out that Dave sold the card to gang leader Poh Boy (Guillermo Díaz) who makes a deal with the guys to find his missing car.Tracy Morgan is going so wild that he's almost flailing for laughs. The chemistry with Willis never gets great but there are a couple of fun laughs. It's great to have Willis reference 'Die Hard' by claiming have never seen it. There are individual cute references and some funny moments but the overall sense is a mess of a buddy cop comedy. This could have been better with the talents involved. It feels like a comedy that is trying so hard that it falls flat.

I really enjoy Bruce Willis in about everything he does.. this one he wasn't near as rough and tumble as usual , he was really funny in this one. the story goes something like this.. Bruce's character has to pay for a wedding which he can't afford, because him and his partner got suspended because of a bad drug bust, his partner think 's his wife is cheating on him so he set's up a video camera in their bedroom,, so back to bruce, he decides to sell a rare baseball card worth lot's of money to pay for his daughter's wedding and make sure that the step dad doesn't show him up,, plans get foiled when the guy he sold it to his store get's robbed by the same bunch who him and his partner busted.. very funny movie,, good action and buddy cop laughs , not as good as other Bruce Willis movies ,, this one is more for the laughs.. and sorta of a spoof in many ways of earlier buddy cop films.

Just a truly terrible and awful buddy cop movie, well lets be honest just a bad movie period. Has there ever been a less convincing actor(and I use the term "actor" loosely) then Tracy Morgan? He's good on 30 Rock because he's not acting and just playing an exaggerated version of his real personality. But he's completely incapable of playing a role that's not himself.I can't believe that Bruce Willis wasted his time by signing on to star in this movie.I collected baseball cards as a kid and still have a bunch of them but by no means do I want them to play a major role in any plot line for a movie involving cops tracking down a bunch of bad guys.I think that with this movie and Jersey Girl that I've pretty much given up on all hope for Kevin Smith ever turning into a good seasoned filmmaker.
