The high energy screwball tone of the first hour makes way for a low-rent looking Bad Boys homage in the final half-hour, becoming the very kind of movie it attempted to satirize in the first place.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 1, 2021

Ends up being a mostly unfunny comedy about characters we don't particularly care about in a situation that doesn't really matter.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 14, 2020

While not devoid of humorous moments, Let's Be Cops falls woefully short of the comedic heights of this year's 22 Jump Street.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 25, 2019

Greenfield's abysmally judged copycop caper serves only as a timely reminder of how wrong comedies can go with a jobbing director, a charisma-less cast and a warped moral code.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 3, 2019

Let's Be Cops, a dull, lame, sexist and predictable 'comedy' ticking the wrong boxes.

| Mar 4, 2019

This movie is pretty funny. I mean, if you have nothing else to do and a pretty good buzz going, you will laugh.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 3, 2018

It wasn't terrible. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 30, 2018

Front-loads itself with "jokes" throughout the first half, while shoehorning in a more dramatic plot arc towards the end

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 2, 2017

It's hard not to appreciate the pic's devil-may-care attitude, Johnson's prickly-but-likable screen persona, and Wayans' effortless channeling of his famous father.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2016

Sloppy, silly and sporadically amusing, Let's Be Cops feels like one of those 90s comedies expanded from an SNL sketch.

| Original Score: C | Mar 26, 2016

It's surprising how emotionally invested you become in these numbnuts, especially when the proceedings unfold in an all too predictable fashion.

| Oct 8, 2015

I can't adequately express how soul-sucking the crime subplot is here.

| Original Score: D- | Jul 14, 2015

After a fairly solid start, Let's Be Cops melts down into a sludge of sub-Sandler-esque shenanigans that slows the flow of laughs to a trickle.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 21, 2014

At this point Let's Be Cops loses much of its humour and starts looking like a film Liam Neeson will turn up in any time soon. That's a pity because the first half, about two doofuses playing police, is funny and occasionally sharp.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 14, 2014

... increasingly idiotic but sporadically humourous ....

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 13, 2014

You pretty much know what to expect with Let's Be Cops, it's juvenile and that's what makes it fun...for a while.

| Nov 13, 2014

Released the week of the Ferguson shooting, the film seemed poised to probe the raw nerves of America's love-hate relationship with law enforcement. Unfortunately, the spoofery of police power soon gives way to formula comedy and be-all-you-can-be uplift.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 13, 2014

Reader, do not underestimate my willingness to watch the stars of New Girl screw around with one-half of Key and Peele when I recommend to you the undeniably conventional Let's Be Cops.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 11, 2014

This is pre-adolescent humour. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude to pre-adolescents.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 11, 2014

The depressingly putrid level of mainstream Hollywood comedy these days is on display in LET'S BE COPS.
