Cop Out (Review)

What I knew going in:
Bruce Willis and comedian Tracy Morgan in a buddy cop flick directed by Kevin Smith. 

Hype:
Meh.  I like Kevin Smith, but this didn't look too good, even from the trailers.

Opening Thoughts:
The opening scene in which Tracy Morgan interrogates a suspect using nothing but movie lines is funny at first, then gets old fast.  And the biggest problem is they keep using the same gag over and over in the first 20 minutes. 

Bottom Line:
As with many films, you may like who is in it, and who is directing it, but sometimes they just fall flat.  There is no chemistry whatsoever between Willis and Morgan.  The Movie Line gag is used so many times I never want to see in in another film, and may have to strike that kind of repetroire from my personal wit.  The plot is so completely nonsensical and stupid it just goes to prove that if you are "in" in Hollywood you can do no wrong, even when you pen the type of Script only Rainman could find endearing.  Does it have a couple funny moments?  Sure.  You should still avoid it like downtown Chicago at 5p.m.
