Goofs

In scene during the credits, before they kick the door open it shows crash bars on the inside of the room, indicating that the doors are out-swing doors.

They then kick the door in from the outside, and after the door is kicked in it shows crash bars are also on the other side of the door, a configuration that never exists.

User Reviews

Women Buddy Comedy

What has worked for men (mostly in the 80s and 90s) in the Buddy Cop movie "genre" (it's not really a genre, but you catch my drift). Now some may feel this is a blast from the past and that either works in favor of the movie or against it. One thing is for sure: It is quite raunchy, as are many other comedies of the same ilk/blueprint.

The chemistry is there and while you may find some things annoying (or Kate's character to be specific), I'd argue all works in favor of the movie. And it is heighten reality, even if it sometimes grounds and stays in reality. So it is a mix of both, a really good one. And some of the stuff is just hillarious. Comedy is alway in the eye of the beholder, so it may differ from your taste - it's still more than well done
