Cop-Out is all right. It’s not great, but who thought it would be? I am a giant Tracy Morgan fan, I love his style of humor and this film doesn’t ask very much from the comedian. Bruce Willis seems kind of lost… or pissed off, I couldn’t tell. I don’t think he knew just how stupid and silly this film was going to be. Directed by Kevin Smith, Cop-Out is definitely a step down from the brilliant Zack and Miri Make a Porno. This latest buddy flick has all the familiar set-ups and trappings of a CBS sitcom, without the funny commercial breaks to make you laugh. If you like Morgan or Smith then give this flick a chance. But if you do miss it, don’t worry about it because you’re really not missing anything.
Also, Tracy Morgan told my favorite insult joke of all time, here it is:
“You are so ugly, I could put your face in dough, and make monster cookies.”
… You’re welcome!
