#42 Cop-Out
(Whew - a single posting so I can catch up! That Mulhern is a speedy one!)
Cop-Out was a bit hard to recall - I began confusing it with The Other Guys at first, and was all set to pen something about leaping tall buildings with a single bound. But no, Cop-Out is the one with the surveillance teddy bear and Michelle Trachtenberg, who always seems to rub me the wrong way.
I remember feeling sorry for Bruce Willis, a guy just trying to give his daughter her dream wedding (which she totally could have toned down - kids these days are so demanding!). Why couldn't he just keep his baseball card??? Unacceptable.
I did like the exchange (I think it was highlighted in the preview as well) between the cops and the mom and son in which they were all watching their language. From the esteemed Internet Movie Database:
Jimmy Monroe: Mam, mam.
Woman: Whats going on?
Paul Hodges: Somebody just broke into your house.
Woman: [while pulling out gun] I'm gunna go take care of the son of a... B, myself.
Jimmy Monroe: Woah, woah, mam.
Young Boy: You gunna smoke somebody?
Paul Hodges: Put the gun down.
Woman: I know my rights!
Jimmy Monroe: [while tryin not to swear in front of young boy] Lady, put the f-in' gun, down on the ground right now, take your son across the f-in' street, AND STAY THERE TILL WE COME AND GET YOU! Jesus... C.
Oh yeah - Adam Brody was in this movie! I like him, even though he was somewhat smarmy in this role. OH, and they flaunted cowboy boots. OH YEAH - Seann William Scott was in the movie too. The scene of *spoiler alert* repeating dialogue was quite humorous.
That is what I took away from Cop-Out.
