Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

cyrillgasser I don't mean to come off harsh but I thought this movie was lame the comedy was sloppy. It was okay at one part but all and all I thought it was lame I liked a few parts but at the end I thought it could have been better. I am into dumb funny movies but this movie was over the top.

OneEightNine Media 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.

Floated2 Let's Be Cops was relatively a surprise summer hit released in August 2014, which is great considering the two leads are not A-list actors and are relatively unknowns. Having motivation from 2014's Ride Along as well as the Jump Street franchise, Let's Be Cops was most certainly green lit on the verge of those big films. The film is rated R which is a surprise considering Ride Along was rated PG-13, however in this film the rated is only due to several scenes of language. It could have been lowered to make it PG-13 but the studios allowed it with such a low budget- approximately $17 million. Let's Be Cops has a main plot, as well as several other subplots along the way. The film is quite entertaining and the two leads do have enough chemistry, but the problem with this film is most of the jokes. Unlike Ride Along and the Jump Street franchise, this film's writing is not clever as those and the laughs aren't brought upon in this film which is why the film isn't as good. Many forced jokes and gags include in this film. Although the film is predictable, it is quite a decent watch to wait until the end to see our heroes reach this goal and success.==================================================================== ====================================================================After a rewatch (08/20/17'), Let's Be Cops really isn't funny at all, and the comedy feels very forced and the type of cheesy comedy seen on television shows forced for laughs. The first half of the film is where the comedy is played, then the second half it gets more serious when the leads become in real trouble as targets. It's also quite boring and at a run time a little over 1 hour 40 minutes, it feels over 2 hours at some points. Of course films like this are always predictable, as we know they will win in the end and the leads will receive their goal. Overall, Let's Be Cops feels worse on a second viewing, and is not memorable and too interesting.

djderka This long, long (yes even at 100 or so minutes) is just awful.PLOT: Two bumbling idiots decide to impersonate cops. Faux hi jinks follow. You are very thankful though when the movie is over, even tho it seems as tho it goes on forever, way past its premise.Nothing to see here so just move along, folks.The 'buddy' cops fail to deliver and those two had about as much chemistry as salt peter and zinc.Horrible plot, poor acting, no sympathy for such bone head characters, and their stupidity and bumbling is so frustrating, you better have ff engaged at all times. Totally stupid situations they encounter. All make mowing the lawn a much better more exciting alternative.Or better if as in Star Trek you had 'warp speed' you could get through this mish mash much faster.Was this movie scripted on a napkin at Spaggios? It looked like they winged it.Too bad, because I think Waylans is funny and loved all of the SCARY MOVIES.
