100 Things I learned from Cop Out

This movie was truly horrible... only reason I sat through it was because I was in an airplane.

1. Police brutality is not only common practice but expected of cops who wants to play the bad cop.

2. 2 cops are more than enough when trying to pull a sting operation.

3. It makes perfect sense to be outside of the store in a huge costume. Never mind that you can just pretend to be a customer and actually BE in the store.

4. It is perfectly normal to have a shoot out with a suspect when there are innocent by-standers around.

5. Another ugly man somehow lands a beautiful wife, who loves him for his sense of humor even though he clearly doesn't know the meaning of the word humor.

6. Somehow, a person who is so completely unaware of his surroundings can make detective (baseball card store.) Also, a person with a two digit IQ somehow also qualifies to be a detective.

7. Being suspended from the force doesn't stop you from booking a perp.

8. That car you have in the garage? Don't bother looking in the trunk even though there is a live woman locked inside who is perfectly capable of kicking and making noise.

9. You drive a SUV into a 6 feet deep hole, your momentum somehow carries you through the car window at a physically impossible angle.

10. Again, suspended from the force, you are somehow able to get a perp out of the holding cell.

11. You are a cop, you asked a criminal to break into a house to steal something, the criminal dies while trying to break in. Just hide the body in your own car, nothing will happen.

12. A beautiful woman will fall in love with you even though you don't speak the same language, even though you act like an over-weight 12 year old boy.

Honestly, this is by far the worst movie I've seen in a long time. If I were Bruce Willis' character, I would've shot Tracey Morgan about 3 weeks into the partnership. Morgan's character is obviously immature and mentally challenged. Anyway, please carry on the list.

Such posts usually don't work with comedies, only with ridiculous movies that take themselves way too serious. Good luck, though.

I wouldn't really call this movie a comedy by any stretch of imagination, but I see what you mean.

By the way, are people making a difference between comedy and comic. Short of sharing in common the first three letters, com, comedy and comic are not the same. As example, the La Divina Comedia, from Dante, is an epic peom, nothing comic... Sure, a comedy can be comic, but not necessary.

I am out of topic, but I am just wondering if the difference between comedy and comic is something in wide use, about American movies, or if it is not.

14. You can embarrass a cop if you offer to pay for his daughter's wedding (and not even really be a dick about it).

Haven't seen this movie, but frankly if you think Kev Smith doesn't know anything about humor... dude you must be the most boring person alive. This is actually backed up by your attempt at a 100 things i learned thread. Not a giggle among the lot.

^ win.

The OP is clearly someone who doesn't know anything about comedy and only watches foreign and indie films with his cigar up his @$$. Is this the best comedy ever? No. Not even close. Sorry you had to watch it on an airplane and not sit in silence next to 2 obese women for 2 hours. That must have been tough.

Kevin Smith knows plenty about humor and I LOVE his other films but this one was a complete stinker and a half. You haven't seen the movie yet you felt compelled to post your opinion based upon his past films. Try , I say TRY watching this one......it sucked.

He was referring to Tracy Morgan and his on-screen wife (Rashida Jones), not to Kevin Smith's real-life marriage.

That one line alone "Imma knit the fuque out a big nice sweater" was worth the price of admission, I was dying! Oh and another one "That's her gay cousin!" hilarious!

18. Tracy Morgan needs to disapear.

He paid his bail, as I assume anyone could have.

i laughted so much! this is what`s all about - the fun and the joy from the humor - it kinda resembled lethal weapon - very nice movie.

[–] him_41 14 years ago

You can't even put this in a league with any of Kevin Smith's other movies. He didn't write this. I could have directed this movie. It still would have been exactly the same. Quit knocking Kevin Smith for the quality of this. No it's not the funniest movie ever, but it's hardly terrible. Tracy Morgan had some lines worth the price of admission or rental or whatever. If you like Tracy, and "get" Tracy, you'll enjoy it. If not, you probably won't because he really is the comic relief. Plus, any scene involving Sean William Scott was downright hilarious.

It's so funny to read people who take a movie like this so seriously that they would list things that the general person watching a movie like this would care nothing about.

[–] Qaoz 13 years ago

Five minutes into the movie, I seriously considered stopping it. Glad I didn't. It's lame and cliché, but I was giggling during some scenes, like the knock-knock joke scene where Tracy tries to stop Bruce from responding to it.

And Seann was hilarious as the hyper parkour robber.

Not the best comedy out there, sure (The Other Guys looks better), but it had me laughing more than not, so it was worth it.

yeah ignoring everything else, stiffler pretty much carried the film by himself, while bruce willis was just a very tamed down john mcclane and tracy morgan being his annoying self.
