A breezy riff on '80s action comedies from Kevin Smith, not directing his own script for the first time. (No auteurist gestures here; there's no sign of Jay and Silent Bob shambling through) Smith would probably be better served directing his own scripts in the future since there's little sense of real interest or engagement with the material. What energy Cop Out has comes from Tracey Morgan as a movie-obsessed detective partnered up with Bruce Willis as a financially strapped cop trying to pay for his daughter's wedding. The plot involves drug dealers and a missing baseball card but the real show is Willis and Morgan bickering with each other and Seann William Scott as a small time hood who crosses paths with our heroes. It's all pleasant enough for the movie to get by on giggles, but Smith really seems to be working for a buck here. Next time out I hope it's back to the convenience stores and comic shops of New Jersey, because this director is better at home than on the road.
