"Cop Out" is plain terrible. Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan fails to show any 'buddy performance'. Instead they succeed to present the true meaning of 'preposterously idiotic'. Way to go, Kevin Smith.

Pathetic...Most of the user comments don't understand what a movie is meant to be. This movie is as good as any video that you can find on Youtube. Bad plot, a slightly funny joke every so often and easily forgotten after 5 minutes.

I understand that the movie is only meant to be funny and that it's not meant to be amazing or something that anyone would recommend, but this movie fails at a comedy just like the parody movies that fail such as Meet The Spartans and Scary Movie. Both hated by anyone who knows anything about movies.

Listen to the critics, they get paid for a reason.… Expand

Homage or parody? That is the question. Although the filmmaker gives out directions on how to watch "Cop Out", as Paul(Tracy Morgan) pays homage to other films by re-enacting them to a suspect under interrogation, the moviegoer should ignore Homage or parody? That is the question. Although the filmmaker gives out directions on how to watch "Cop Out", as Paul(Tracy Morgan) pays homage to other films by re-enacting them to a suspect under interrogation, the moviegoer should ignore the authorial voice emanating from Morgan's character, because "Cop Out" is a parody, since some of the apparently serious scenes are funnier than the intended comedic ones. On occasion, the silly banter between Morgan and Bruce Willis(even sillier when Sean William Scott joins the party) can be moderately amusing, but it's the dramatic moments, like the one in which a Mexican drug dealer begs forgiveness from God in a church after his younger brother caps a flunkey, that "Cop Out" becomes "Buddy Cop Movie", a parody made all the more canny for its straight-faced execution of a cheesy eighties cop show like "Miami Vice". This filmmaker, known for his impolite dialogue in such anarchic films such as "Clerks" and "Dogma", has to be kidding, right? As Jimmy, Willis keeps it "real"(or is it real?) while he wistfully discusses his daughter's upcoming wedding to a drug kingpin's mistress, a scene that seemingly sends-up the moment where the tough guy reveals his unbeknownst softer side, in this case, via soliloquy. (The Hispanic woman can't understand English, so it's like he's alone). At the actual wedding, however, the emotionally climaxing moment where Jimmy gives his daughter away seems too sincere and persuasive in its adherence toward Hollywood conventionality, the moviegoer fears that the filmmaker might actually mean it. If the sentimental ending is homage, and not a parody of bad television and movies, then "Cop Out" doesn't seem like a laughing matter anymore.… Expand

I don't get what was so bad about this movie. It was hilarious! And thanks to this movie, I am now a Tracy Morgan fan! Usually, I was never a fan of Kevin Smith's movies, but this movie mad me change my mind about him.

*1/2

"Cop Out"

Kevin Smith who directed and wrote films like "Dogma" and "Clerks" makes a new buddy cop film that makes those films look like masterpieces. Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan star in this dreaded action/comedy picture. Now what I liked about Smith's earlier films was that it continued to be funny through out the whole film and it new exactly what it wanted to be. However that's certainly not the case with "Cop Out". For every mediocre joke in "Cop Out" there is about twenty minutes of brutal fighting that doesn't move the plot along at all. I recommend watching the first five minutes, it's about the only remotely comedic part in "Cop Out". This is a big disappointment for me and I hope Smith's up and coming films are alot better then this… Expand

Worst movie I've seen in years. They have redefined the word stupid. The only point of the movie was to see how many f-bombs could possibly be dropped within a two hour time frame. Like I said - Stupid!

As is Stakeout. As is Lethal Weapon. All elements clearly and intentionally paid homage (as Tracy Morgan humorously mispronounces at the beginning of the movie). It was Kevin's not-so-subtle message (along with the cheap synthesizer and Fletch song at the ending fade) that he was about to show a film that had not one ounce of originality, but was meant to be an enjoyable popcorn film for fans of his, fans like him and those who just wanted to be entertained. I had NO expectations coming into this movie as critics and viewers alike ripped it apart. From a critical perspective, it's only slightly above average. However, from the INTENT of the film, it was perfect. The movie was fun, enjoyable and made me happy to see the genre revisited. Thanks Kevin!… Expand

Surprisingly though the funny moments come strictly from Bruce Willis and the supporting cast, Tracy Morgan almost never made me laugh, the only times he did was when he was on screen with Seann William Scott, when Seann isn't on screen Tracy Morgan just ends up being an annoying character who you would rather see played by someone else.

A weird failure from Kevin smith. Usually a fairly good action actor Bruce Willis fails miserably and Tracy Morgan fails even worse then that. In a movie that fails in every possible way it can.
