About
If you want a loud, raunchy spoof of 1970s-style crime stories with lots of jokes and action-silliness, you’ll likely enjoy it; Not for you if you dislike over-the-top comedy or need subtle humor, especially if you didn’t click with Bad Boys or Beverly Hills Cop II.
Pros: hysterical, over-the-top parody; genre tropes, on point; many laughs, cult joy | Cons: humor can feel uneven; some plots drag; may not land for all
