It's the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: they're not cops. Two slackers hatch an outrageous plan to impersonate police officers. Before long, the pair are confiscating chronic, scoring hot babes and recklessly racing through the streets in a squad car they found online. But when they get tangled up with actual mobsters, these fake cops find themselves in hot pursuit of real trouble.

Critics Consensus: Damon Wayans, Jr. and Jake Johnson have comedic chemistry; unfortunately, Let's Be Cops fails to do anything with it.

Reviews

Richard Crouse

The high energy screwball tone of the first hour makes way for a low-rent looking Bad Boys homage in the final half-hour, becoming the very kind of movie it attempted to satirize in the first place.

Richard Propes

Ends up being a mostly unfunny comedy about characters we don't particularly care about in a situation that doesn't really matter.

While not devoid of humorous moments, Let's Be Cops falls woefully short of the comedic heights of this year's 22 Jump Street.

Greenfield's abysmally judged copycop caper serves only as a timely reminder of how wrong comedies can go with a jobbing director, a charisma-less cast and a warped moral code.

Let's Be Cops, a dull, lame, sexist and predictable 'comedy' ticking the wrong boxes.
