Absolutely brilliant

A Disappointing Continuation

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

A mix up of unpleasant and weird people, movie started good, seemed funny, but ended up regreting wasting 2 hours watching it, really needed better event sequencing, the black guy is really obnoxious and annoying, never seemed to be an all-round character.

Well, come think of it, it'd be a real challenge to get something big out of this concept of 'Lets be cops', but this worked very well. I laughed when I was supposed to love, I focused when things got serious, and voilà, the movie just delivered. Good acting, good directing, good script, and good movie-environment with likable actors.What a nice movie to watch with the mates ! 7/10

Absolutely hilarious. The movie is about two friends dressing up as cops for what they think is a costume party and just go around the city pretending to be cops and goofing off. The movie is more funny than you'd except coming from a couple of no-named actors. But the last third of the film does go off the rails a little when it suddenly turns from a light hearted comedy into a serious red blooded police movie. But it doesn't hurt the film bad enough for me to not recommend it to anyone looking for a funny movie to laugh at for an hour and a half. It is well directed and well written. Both lead actors seem very talented and I think we will be seeing a lot more from them thanks to this film.

"Let's Be Cops" isn't the first comedy to have the premise of someone impersonating a police officer - the comedy "Off Beat" did it way back in 1986. But this idea hasn't been done to death, so this movie definitely had some potential. While there are some funny moments here and there, the movie as a whole doesn't work. It gets off to a good start - it sets up the characters and their idea of impersonating cops in less than fifteen minutes. But then the movie slows down considerably and the thin story moves at a crawl - there was no need to have this movie run 104 or so minutes. Also, the tone seems kind of schizophrenic. On one hand it wants to be a goofy and outrageous comedy, but there are some dead serious (and violent) plot elements that don't mix with the side of the movie that's lighthearted. The two leads show some charm (especially Damon Wayans Jr.), but they are made to do a bunch of unlikable things that makes it hard to be sympathetic to their characters. The movie ends up being a real disappointment, especially since you can see the potential that was not realized.
