Are You Old Enough for Cop Out?
Fri, February 5, 2010 It looks like Kevin Smith, one of my personal favorites starting way back with Chasing Amy and Mallrats, may have done it again. Cop Out stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as NYPD partners on the trail of a gangster, who has allegedly stolen a rare, mint-condition baseball card for his collection. Jimmy (Willis) sees the caper as his only opportunity to fund the upcoming wedding for his daughter, while Paul (Morgan) has trouble focusing on the task at hand when comedic rumors surface about his wife's supposed acts of infidelity.
I was scared, at first, that this may parallel the likes of "Stop or My Mom Will Shoot", but realizing now that Smith is behind the lense, and with the Tag line "Rock out with your Glock out", this may prove to be a sharped tongue comedy to add to my collection. Check out the Restricted Trailer below. Adam Brody, Kevin Pollack, Guillmero Diaz, Sean William Scott, Jason Lee and Anna de la Reguera round out the cast. Cop Out opens in theaters February 26.

But Tracy Morgan just isn't funny. He never has been. His antics on Saturday Night Live were controlled a bit, but ever since he started doing 30 Rock, and making movies, he is just loud, obnoxious, and not funny. They give him a good joke now and then, but his behavior ruins a lot of otherwise funny material. I'm dismayed that this movie was ever made with him in it. I hope his performance will surprise me, but from the trailers I have seen so far, I fear that won't be the case.
Agreed. There were better choices out there. Hopefully we'll both be proven wrong.
