So the movie starts with Jimmy Monroe(Bruce Willis) and Paul Hodges(Tracy Morgan) celebrating their nine year anniversary. They then proceed to interrogate a suspect in a their usual technique where one guy pretends to be running from the police and wants help from the suspect. Then the other cop comes in and tries to talk the crazy one down and out of this crazy method they get information from the suspect. This adds a new flavor to the usual buddy-cop movie routine. This helped a little to make up for some of the other cliches.(I know cliche is supposed to have that accent mark over the e but I can't figure out how to do that so just let it go. Thanks.) After Hodges convinces Monroe to let him be the bad guy Hodges goes a long run of just quoting cop movies and being stupid. This, I believe, could've been funnier but I did enjoy the reference to "Die Hard" which Monroe(Willis) remarks "I've never seen that one." That was good. After this warm-up of comedy and introduction into how this movie is going to go, with it's bad language(which is always a plus to me) and relationship of Monroe disrespecting Hodges, they get down to the real plot. Monroe's daughter is getting married and wants a very expensive wedding which will be hard for Monroe to afford but easy for his ex-wife's new husband who offers to pay for the wedding. Because Monroe doesn't want to look like he can't provide for his daughter he is forced to sell his rare baseball card to pay for the wedding. However, when he goes to sell it he is tased by Dave(Seann William Scott) who steals the card and sells it for drugs. Now Monroe and Hodges have to go on a wild goose chase to reclaim the card and try to foil a drug dealers big plans in the process.

I found this to be a pretty good movie. It had me laughing pretty hard at parts. The addition of Seann William Scott's character was a big help. There are also some aspects of originality sprinkled throughout this movie which add humor as well as making this film stand out a bit. Morgan is pretty much how you would expect with his yelling and outlandish behavior. I think that guy is hilarious so of course I loved his craziness. Willis was also stereotypical with his, I'm-the-veteran-who-is-sick-of-Morgan's-antics, character. But hey it works.

Getting down to the point I liked it. It made me laugh which is why I went to see it in the first place. It also through enough curve-balls to keep me from thinking that I've seen this a million times. Kevin Smith(the too-big-for-airplanes director) did try to add another wrinkle with the other cops who are like the rival cops(you know, that old chestnut) but he tried to make them a little different than what we're used too. Unfortunately the characters weren't quite funny enough and he didn't really develop them thoroughly. But still not a bad try. It's worth renting unless you're like me and you like Tracy Morgan, Seann William Scott and dumb humor then I say go see it now. I give it a B.
