If you like The New Girl, but find Jess tiresome and can survive without Schmidt, Cece and Winston, then Let’s Be Cops is for you. It is reunion time, and the two main characters aren’t where they thought that they would be when they were younger so they escape reality by masquerading-initially innocently-as cops. Let’s Be Cops’ premise is that cops can literally do anything to anyone at anytime so for two powerless losers, being a cop is the closest that they can get to being the men that they want to be. Let’s Be Cops is full of laughs and fun until it passes the hour mark, then the filmmakers realize that a plot would be nice and mix in a crime/police corruption drama that is dull, dull, dull. Let’s Be Cops hastily repents of all its fun by showing that being a policeman is hard and has a lot of consequences that the men are not equipped to handle. Let’s Be Cops is essentially two mediocre movies. By the end, Let’s Be Cops is practically acrobatic in its efforts to make the main characters be heroes, but not get their hands too irrevocably dirty that they would have real world psychological and legal consequences. There is unsurprisingly a lot of juvenile humor, which I don’t mind. Let’s Be Cops’ comedy is largely without sharp edges or social commentary though there is one scene where Coach notices that he is being pulled over by a cop and replies to Nick on the phone, “I can’t play it cool, man, I’m black.” Can you imagine if Paul Mooney wrote Let’s Be Cops, which is set in LA? That movie would be a must see. Let’s Be Cops is amusing, but not a must see.
