Let’s Be Cops - Snapshot

Ever seen a comedy where the premise is so wrong and impractical that it’s actually ridiculously funny and makes for a total entertainer? The 2014 release Let’s Be Cops is exactly that. Two best buds, struggling on the career front, end up dressing as cops for a reunion party, and have what is perhaps one of their best evenings ever. Unwilling to give up the glory, they decide to do it a few more times, and end up getting entangled in a underground mob scheme, and need to figure a way out of the mounting chaos. The lead characters are played by Jake Johnson, and Damon Wayans Jr., who are crazy funny as the comedy duo. The characterization is cool, with some memorable, sometimes over the top, yet hugely laughable characters. Other notable performances come from Nina Dobrev, Rob Riggle, and Andy Garcia, who all put in decent acts. Overall the emotions felt real, the humor wasn't cheesy, and the plot played out at a decent pace, making for a truly fun watch. Having watched this on-board an aircraft, the limitations of the presentation equipment made it hard to fully enjoy and experience the technical aspects. Picture/video seemed pretty normal though, with color tones reminding me of the TV show CSI at times. If you’re looking for a light, fun, entertainer that provides its share of laughs, has a good plot, and doesn't get boring from time to time, you can’t go wrong with Let’s Be Cops.

My Recommendation: Watch It (So wrong that it’s so right)
