Veteran
(and
divorced)
NYPD
cop
Jimmy
Monroe
(Bruce
Willis)
wants
to
give
his
daughter
the
wedding
she's
always
wanted
-
but
the
only
way
he
can
afford
it
is
by
selling
his
rare
and
valuable
baseball
card.
When
it's
stolen
from
under
his
nose,
he
Jimmy
recruits
his
police
partner
of
nine
years,
Paul
Hodges
(Tracy
Morgan)
to
track
down
the
thief,
a
memorabilia-obsessed,
pot-smoking
thief,
Dave
(Seann
William
Scott).
But
the
chase
draws
them
into
the
underworld
of
Mexican
thugs
and
a
lot
more
trouble
than
they
bargained
for.
Kevin
Smith
directed
Cop
Out
is
not
an
extraordinary
comedy
but
there
are
quite
a
few
scenes
that
will
have
you
laughing
out
loud.
The
one-liners
come
fast
and
furiously.
However,
the
humor
that
works
early
on
is
nearly
completely
abandoned
after
the
first
half
hour.
Tracy
Morgan's
character
does
an
entire
scene
in
which
he
interrogates
a
druggie
while
paying
homage
to
a
wide
range
of
famous
movies.
It's
incredibly
funny,
but
then
his
attachment
to
films
is
left
behind
as
the
writers
throw
out
the
funniest
aspect
of
his
character.
With
the
majority
of
action
lacking
don"t
expect
any
extreme
stunts
or
death
defying
moves.
Tracy
Morgan"s
performance
is
very
entertaining,
but
at
times
could
be
bordering
on
irritating.
Bruce
Willis
who
has
become
rather
comfortable
with
the
role
of
the
officer
proved
that
age
is
only
a
number
and
his
skills
are
still
intact.
In
an
obvious
tribute
to
the
Joe
Pesci
character
in
the
"Lethal
Weapon" series,
Seann
William
Scott"s
annoying
presence
is
one
of
the
funniest
parts
of
the
script.
Overall
going
into
Cop
Out
you
should
expect
the
expected,
a
spoof
of
a
comedy
that
is
not
an
Oscar
winner,
but
rather
the
first
stupidly
entertaining
film
of
2010.
