Review of Cop Out

Cop Out (2010)
2/10
It hinges on a cutely annoying partner - who is just fully annoying
16 April 2010
Its a buddy/buddy comedy where two guys, Willis' sidekick partner and a "perp" are designed to carry the movie with their cute annoying mannerisms and banter.

Instead they come off as annoyingly annoying. A couple of decently funny moments interspersed with the kind of nails on blackboard gratingly unfunny stuff that passes like molasses while the viewer is hoping desperately they either quit trying to be cute, or actually get to something funny.

With the rating, I was expecting a decent little popcorn flick. Instead I got a comedy that was so (have I said) annoying, that I seriously considered walking out.

To the bitter end the sidekick plays smugly, but off. A joke and comedy that misses a little is one thing. Comedy that is so un-funny it gets painful to watch is something else.

I wouldn't sit through the first ten minutes of this movie to see all the decently funny stuff it had throughout the whole thing.
