About

You may like this if you enjoy fast-paced buddy-cop chaos, plenty of banter, and a mix of action and comedy; Not for you if you want a tight, serious story or dislike broad humor, even if you liked Bad Boys or Beverly Hills Cop II.

Pros: strong lead chemistry; exciting action; energetic humor | Cons: overstuffed story; tired jokes; uneven supporting roles
