A low-brow, low-ambition comedy with only the shoddiest of plots. I went to laugh, though, and I did, at least a bit. I'm a huge fan of the sitcom New Girl, in which both Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. star. Four back-to-back episodes of New Girl (or Wayans' previous sitcom, Happy Endings) would blow this film out of the water laugh-wise. These kinds of films always feel the need to graft a cliché plot onto the amusing antics of its stars, and then they tend to get lost in that rote plot by the end. Let's Be Cops is quite funny when it's just the main characters joking around, play fighting or getting into slapsticky situations. In addition to Johnson and Wayans, Keegan-Michael Key and Natasha Leggero have really funny, small roles.
