Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

marcodeangelo There are buddy cop films...and then there is this gem! Well acted, directed, and written you can't go wrong with this film. Upon my eighth viewing I finally absorbed the humanity of this film, fantastico! Golden ii, is awesome and Burt just feeds off his lil' buddy. The cinematography was the only thing I really took issue with. Solid soundtrack, sweet beats throughout. Villains are OK, but good luck getting away with murder with these two on the hunt. If you have nothing to do on Sunday's and you get HBO just look, it'll be there and this baby will get you couch bound, and teach you some valuable lessons. Definitely better than Racing Stripes.

Geeky Randy Widely panned spoof of the Hollywood buddy cop movie, but if you were a preadolescence in the 1990s, you may have a soft spot for this one. Admittedly ridiculous plot about an eight-year-old witness (Norman D. Golden II) cutting a deal with the Tampa Police Department to provide them information if he could immediately be a cop… and, for some convenient reason, is partnered up with the short-tempered child-hating Reynolds. Ray Sharkey plays the primary antagonist in his final performance, a big band singing killer with plenty of goofy henchmen in tow. If you're able to look past how unrealistic the movie is, it is ultimately incredibly funny and entertaining; with Norman D. Golden II having the perfect attitude for pulling off a kid with a badge, while Reynolds is able to make good use of his big temper and explosive facial expressions. Originally intended to be a sequel to KINDERGARTEN COP.*** (out of four)

ngox0077 This is one of my childhood favorites! Yes, the plot is pathetic and unbelievable. Yes, the boy is no Dakota Fanning. But Cop and a Half is a very enjoyable movie for people between the ages of 4 and 10. I mean, this movie wasn't marketed towards art school graduate students. The situations are very light-hearted and the jokes corny enough for the young age demographic.This is also a good movie if you enjoy making fun of B-movies (especially with your friends... and beer). There are numerous plot holes and the man-boy love undertones are hilariously disturbing.Do not watch Cop and a Half if you are a cantankerous old geezer!

moandlw I actually worked on this movie (not a film).From top to the bottom and beginning to end this one never had a chance.Burt seemed to be having a bad day - every day. Winkler had trouble keeping Reynolds under control - Burt seemed determined to direct. Every other shot Burt would try to include yet another corny gag - usually one that had worked in one of his previous flicks. Stunt Coordinator/second unit director Glen Wilder did an excellent job but could not make up for the general lack of focus.The movie is a series of lack luster scenes with characters that no one cares about, spouting lines that should make a third grader cringe. Even a corny gag can work if it is woven into the story but that doesn't happen in this movie.Absolutely the funniest scene wasn't even filmed - Burt walked in while a fake gut was being strapped on his stunt double - his reaction was...priceless.I think I'm being generous giving this a 3 out of 10 score and possibly a bit defensive - retch.
