Best pals Ryan and Justin are stalled in their respective careers -- a fact that is painfully driven home when they go to a college reunion. Dressed as police in the mistaken belief that they were to attend a costume party, Ryan and Justin find that the uniforms earn them much respect and attention. Although Justin is uncomfortable with the idea, Ryan decides to continue with the charade, putting them both in increasingly dangerous situations. 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.

Reviews

carlos_a-728-701934 I can't believe all the ratings above 1 or 2 stars, I saw this movie not expecting anything and still found it so boring and stupid, what part is funny ???? The only part I liked was Nina Dobrev on shorts, she looks pretty hot, but outside of that this is a total waste of time, not funny at all.

Juliet Roar I'm not going to lie, the idea of having men pretend to be cops is not hilarious or genius, however the story, the actors and characters completely made it worth it. There was not a minute where I was not laughing. Completely kept me entertained and would watch it many many times.

MaxHaydon1994 I think the thing I liked most about this film is that it didn't conform to the trends we see in comedy's in recent years.The humour wasn't aimed at things that will be forgotten in a few years. The actors are both of an appropriate age to make jokes relevant to an older and young generation, they're smack bang in the middle of old and new. It was nice to see a film that didn't reference every popular reality star and musician we all know will be forgotten in a few years time.It's also worth noting that the acting was sincere and not over baring in it's wit. Over acting in comedies has become all too common but I found this duo to be more then bearable and often funny. The introduction of a love interest could have been cliché but it added genuine depth to the story and to the characters.As far as cop comedy's go, in fact as far as modern comedy goes, Let's be cops is a resounding success and a step in the right direction. Imagine if we lived in a world where every light comedy had a genuinely good concept, interesting characters and timeless references like this film.7/10 for not being another cringe cop com

Wizard-8 "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.
