Let's Be Cops

2014 · 104 min

Silly, fast-moving buddy comedy that coasts on goofy improv energy and occasional bursts of action, easy to switch off to.

Tagline: Fake Cops. Real Trouble.
Overview: Best pals Ryan and Justin are stalled in their respective careers -- a fact that is painfully driven home when they go to a college reunion. Dressed as police in the mistaken belief that they were to attend a costume party, Ryan and Justin find that the uniforms earn them much respect and attention. Although Justin is uncomfortable with the idea, Ryan decides to continue with the charade, putting them both in increasingly dangerous situations. When these newly-minted “heroes” get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line.
How it feels: Light, absurd, campy and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, identity, ambition, crime
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
