Let's Be Cops Trailers

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.

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.

Absolutely hilarious. The movie is about two friends dressing up as cops for what they think is a costume party and just go around the city pretending to be cops and goofing off. The movie is more funny than you'd except coming from a couple of no-named actors. But the last third of the film does go off the rails a little when it suddenly turns from a light hearted comedy into a serious red blooded police movie. But it doesn't hurt the film bad enough for me to not recommend it to anyone looking for a funny movie to laugh at for an hour and a half. It is well directed and well written. Both lead actors seem very talented and I think we will be seeing a lot more from them thanks to this film.

Let's Be Cops is a fantastic movie and I have no doubt about it! let's Be Cops is a 2014 buddy cop comedy with one problem, they aren't real police officers. I was very nervous about this movie as there has been a lack in good comedies over the years but I end up loving this movie. It was a perfect comedy as it was funny at times, although it wasn't a consistently hilarious movie you'll still find yourself laughing out loud a lot. This movie was all serious as it shows the reality of the situation that the characters have got themselves into. The characters were both great and very relatable as well as generally good people although they do some stupid things. Although this movie has a low score on various movie reviewing sites I would recommend this movie to most of my friends who are up for a good laugh with quite a few serious moments. The direction was great, the cinematography is great, the ideas behind it are great, the acting is amazing and the comedy will keep you laughing. Although it is a "Hard R" film it's not overly inappropriate as it's only inappropriate for short periods at a time and has a number or morals and almost every wrong is ended upon with a right. Give this a movie a go as you will probably be presently surprised!

Let's Be Cops (2014): Dir: Luke Greenfield / Cast: Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr, Nina Dobrew, Rob Riggle, Andy Garcia: This is a comedy that extends our boundaries mentally into the realms that cross reality with fantasy. Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr play best friends struggling to fit in. During a costume party they decide to dress up as cops and are overwhelmed with responses where people actually took them for real cops. This gives Johnson an idea once he realizes the benefits of being taken seriously as cops. Suddenly women flock to them for stripper parties, plus they can get even with those guys that damaged their vehicle. Johnson buys a car off the Internet and purchases all the gadgets to make it resemble a real squad car. They get in too deep when a mob of criminals take a dislike to their actions. This is an amusing premise accompanying what amounts to a long sketch comedy. The climax boils down to a shootout with our heroes pretty much redeemed of their playing with matches charade. This is not nearly as funny as Police Academy or Reno 911: Miami, but it contains fired up performances from its leads. Johnson goes in too deep not realizing that real police work is no picnic. Wayans plays a struggling video game marketer caught up with his friend. Supporting roles are less exciting. Nina Dobrew as a waitress whom Wayans takes interest in is about as enticing as a dish rag. Rob Riggle plays a real cop but never as funny as in other films. Andy Garcia is the real disappointment playing a corrupt one note detective. Superb idea about reality and fantasy allows this cop comedy to pass inspection. Score: 6 / 10
