Okay, let's be honest. I am brave enough to say that I thought it was very entertaining. Probably this was all due to the performance of the two main characters, but I thought it was amusing and quite funny.

A film like this, you should just watch and enjoy without thinking about it too much. They can't all be masterpieces!

Good fun comedy to have in your collection.

Definitely one of the more funny box office bombs. By far the funniest line in the movie is where Shatner is trying to teach them how to act and he says "Mitch"(De Niro) is the worst actor he has ever seen! I thought I would fall out! Overall this film deserves much more credit than it was given.

Well said!

Murphy plays Murphy just 20 years older.

The real reason to see it is to see Shatner. He's porky but really makes fun of himself and his T.J. Hooker character. However, to me, that's not enough reason to sit through this clunker.

no......not without incident.

are you kidding me? did you guys just have your corpus collosum split or something? this is a piece of trash. we all know de niro and murphy took this role for a paycheck, this is one of the worst excuses for a movie i have ever seen. this classic buddy cop genre has been tired to death, and the plot about big guns that destroy houses come on! Now eddie murphy always plays the same role over and over again, just with different names and robert de niro has been turning out crap the last few years (flawless, the score, 15 minutes, rocky and bullwinkly, meet the parents) so i wasnt expecting it to be good, i worked at blockbuster and got it for free, and i gotta say it was one of the most difficult movies to sit through, it sucked every inch of life out of me before adding insult to injury with the bloopers at the end, i felt bad for de niro cause he used to be a good actor, someone tell him to knock it off and if murphy needs some money tell him to do 48 hours 3, he could use a nostalgic kick

I am shocked about some of the comments regarding this film. I was thoroughly entertained by it, thanks mainly to the performances of the two leads. De Niro has rarely been funnier playing it straight and Murphy once again demonstrates what a comic genius can do with second rate material.
