Review of Let's Be Cops (2014) by Joel M — 30 Nov 2014
"Let's Be Cops" is a lackluster comedy impersonating a good comedy, and for that it should be incarcerated into the Movie Hell Penitentiary. By the way I personally am serving a life sentence in the Corny Movie Puns Punitentiary; see what I mean.
Anyways. "Let's Be Cops" stars Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. as two down-out Hollywood roommates who decide to impersonate themselves as police officers after they dress up as cops to a masquerade party, and witness that being a cop has it's perks.
I would have handcuffed this enticing premise with a more enigmatic narrative, but it seems that Writer-Director Luke Greenfield did not siren that up; this Luke had no force with him in directing & scribing "Let's Be Cops".
Johnson and Wayans Jr. were partners in thespian overacting in their arresting starring roles. I chuckled a couple of times in "Let's Be Cops", but let's be serious, that was way too little chuckles in a movie that desperately needed back up in creative storytelling.
Sorry, I have the right to not remain silent, and let you know to leave the scene of this cinematic movie crime. ** Needs Improvement.
