I saw "Let's Be Cops", starring Jake Johnson-New Girl_tv, 21 Jump Street_2012; Damon Wayans Jr-New Girl_tv,; Nina Dobrev-The Vampire Diaries_tv, The Roommate; Rob Riggle-21 Jump Street_2012 and Andy Garcia-The Pink Panther 2_2009, Smokin' Aces.
This is like a buddy cop movie, except they are not really cops. Jake and Damon are thirty something year old guys living together trying to make it big in Los Angeles. Jake relives old football glories and Damon works at a video game company, but he hasn't sold one of his ideas, yet. Nina plays a waitress that Damon likes but he just can not get up enough nerve to ask her out. Jake and Damon go to a costume party dressed as cops and are mistaken for real police officers, on their way home. They get the idea to keep impersonating cops for the fringe benefits-one of them is that Nina now pays attention to Damon. But, sooner or later, you know they are going to get into some actual situations where real police are required. Rob plays a real cop that has a couple of run-ins with our imposters, and eventually, they all cross paths with a real bad guy, played by Andy. It reminded me of 21 Jump Street but it wasn't quite as good, more like a 'B' grade version. It's rated "R" for language, sexual references-including some nudity- violence and drug use and has a running time of 1 hour & 44 minutes. I liked it enough that I would probably buy it on DVD.
