Review of Let's Be Cops (2014) by Thequietgamer — 18 Dec 2014

Great chemistry between the two leads and a hilarious premise lead to one of the best comedies of the year. Not all jokes hit their mark and I wish there was a little bit more goofing around done before things start getting real, but I still enjoyed it.

What I mean by getting real is that as you might expect pretending to be cops gets these guys into real trouble. That's when the bullets start flying. I really don't get this trend that modern comedies are having where the characters lives are at stake. Yes it is often believable given the situations surrounding the premise, but as comedies like "Identity Theft" and the "Hangover" sequels have shown it just detracts from the humor. That fact is no different here.

However "Let's Be Cops" fairs much better than the likes of those. It manages to stay laugh-out-loud funny throughout. Some stumbles get in the way but overall it is funny enough to be worth the watch.
