    "Cop Out" is plain terrible. Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan fails to show any 'buddy performance'. Instead they succeed to present the true meaning of 'preposterously idiotic'. Way to go, Kevin Smith.

    Pathetic...Most of the user comments don't understand what a movie is meant to be. This movie is as good as any video that you can find on Youtube. Bad plot, a slightly funny joke every so often and easily forgotten after 5 minutes.

    I understand that the movie is only meant to be funny and that it's not meant to be amazing or something that anyone would recommend, but this movie fails at
    a comedy just like the parody movies that fail such as Meet The Spartans and Scary Movie. Both hated by anyone who knows anything about movies.

    Listen to the critics, they get paid for a reason.

    Worst movie I've seen in years. They have redefined the word stupid. The only point of the movie was to see how many f-bombs could possibly be dropped within a two hour time frame. Like I said - Stupid!

    It was so unfunny. After five minutes I was saying how in the hell could these two have been on any police force for 9 minutes, let alone 9 years. totally inplausible. Tracy morgan is funny as hell, but after you laugh at the rants, you realize not of it could ever have happened. A standard buddy flick with a so-so shoot out ending and Tracy Morgan showcase scences that never blends together.

    A truly painful experience. Makes going to the dentist look like Disneyland. I hope Bruce Willis feels a little bit guilty when he goes to the bank to cash his cheque.

    Bruce Willis does ok for what he's given, and a few parts are funny, but this was just a waste of money/time. I've never been so annoyed at an individual on screen before that I wanted to bash his face into a car windshield and send to an english class - Tracy Morgan. If you can even understand what the hell he's saying, you just want to punch him. Advoid unless you like throwing money away or seeing what a giant turd looks like on screen. Expand

    The writing is horrible. The plot is hardly recognizable. I am horrified that execs at Warner Brothers did not have the common sense pull the plug on this lame poorly executed childing horror of a comedy film.

    Bad movie man, bad movie! You can tell BW is fighting with the director and the two guys have no chemistry. Tracey Morgan disappoints me in this movie and I like his style typically, Bruce too. C'mon Bruce, this was just a money movie right? Your better than this dude.

    Overall pretty poor effort, by writers on down. Don't waste your time. Normally I'm a luke warm Willis fan but there was nothing but poor jokes to work with here.

    Cop Out made me want to stab my retinas with a pencil. To sum up the entire film: Tracy Morgan screams, Sean-William Scott annoys, Bruce Willis risks lives trying to get a baseball card -- and we all go home with a sour taste in our mouths.

    What makes a good cop buddy film? I have seen so many I could give you a list. There are a lot of possibilities involving the cop buddy genre. Unfortunately, Cop Out has none of the factors that make a buddy cop film. Itâ

    A Film Review by: Sam Fragoso *1/2 "Cop Out" Kevin Smith who directed and wrote films like "Dogma" and "Clerks" makes a new buddy cop film that makes those films look like masterpieces. Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan star in this dreaded action/comedy picture. Now what I liked about Smith's earlier films was that it continued to be funny through out the whole film and it new exactly what it wanted to be. However that's certainly not the case with "Cop Out". For every mediocre joke in "Cop Out" there is about twenty minutes of brutal fighting that doesn't move the plot along at all. I recommend watching the first five minutes, it's about the only remotely comedic part in "Cop Out". This is a big disappointment for me and I hope Smith's up and coming films are alot better then this Expand

    With Bruce Willis and Tracey Morgan i thought this was a good match and it would be funny. It just plainly wasn't at all. The occasional joke that made me laugh didn't over come the amount of time i sat wondering when this was going to end. I'm sorry Bruce but this was not one to be proud off.

    The stories Smith tells about the making of this movie and his falling out with Willis are a 1000 times funnier and more entertaining than this flick will ever be. It tries to mimic these 80's cop buddy movies and they even got Harold Faltermeyer to do the music but it just doesn't work. There is no chemistry between Willis & Morgan, the jokes are bland, the action is pretty standard and sidekicks like Scott can't save it. The plot is riddled with clichés and is as predictable as hell so it's surprising it was on 'The Blacklist' of best unproduced scripts. It had better stayed that way... Expand

    There is nothing intelligent about this piece of crap. Nothing makes sense. Morgan, as usual, is playing an annoying person whom I find aboslutely boring. Willis is okay, but this movie and its jokes are just...bad. Nothing positive to say about this, I'm afraid. Diagnosis: Don't see it. The worst film of the year: Not "thee" worst, but one of the top 15.
    Guilty Pleasure: No.

  1. A movie that makes little sense, is dumb when it's not being stupid and yet is still at times laugh-out-loud funny.
  2. While the plot is as flimsy as a hooker's halter top, it's buoyed by two actors with attitude and timing.

    A lot of the dialogue is intended as funny, but man, is it lame.
