Let's Be Cops


It's the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: they're not cops. When two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party, they become neighborhood sensations. But when these newly-minted “heroes” get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line. 

This was a pretty simple concept and should have been a pretty basic movie with good laughs especially considering the two lead actors.  These guys are absolutely hysterical on New Girl so you knew that the chemistry would already be there.  Instead, they tried to infuse too much of a story that there is no way you are going to get that invested in emotionally because you only went to laugh.  This also made the movie too long.  This should have been 90 minutes at most and off the wall comedy from start to finish.  This is not to say that the movie was bad.  The laughs were great - especially if you like these two guys.  But there was a lot of down time in between that kind of made the movie fall into the decent range instead of being good or great.

I would somewhat recommend this movie - again especially to fans of the show New Girl.  You will definitely not be disappointed.  Just be aware that it is not as funny as it could have been and runs a little too long.
