This common above averagely funny
comedy movie is definitely uncommon when it comes to the theme it has chosen.
Two 30 year old men who has got nowhere with life accidently realizes that
impersonating as cops can gain them the recognition they so desperately
required in their life. Though how crazy and fat fetched this idea sound the
movie pulls off some crazy stunts keeping aside some obvious plot holes side.
But as it is a comedy and all we want is to laugh no idea is a bad idea.
Let’s be Cops is not boring. It
starts a little slower than most comedy movies but gradually develop to be
crazy funny sometimes. But most of the time it remains normal other than some
occasional lines which can make you laugh a bit more than the rest. The reason
why I kept going was because I was curious to know where the story will lead
and how well the movie can pull off the predictable scenes. And I found them to
be quite entertaining but not exceptional.
Regarding the performances they
are ok but none of them can really spark the humor as such. Maybe I was
expecting 21 Jump Street out of this but the chemistry between those two does
not exist here. Maybe it’s a weakness of the script too. But as a comedy for
light minded viewing let’s be Cops is not bad at all.
