Like its title, Let's Be Cops is a simple and undemanding movie, which is generally entertaining. The script is efficient and effective, targeted very clearly at the level of the teenage male audience, which bowls along by the solid and very amiable buddy teaming of Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr who both do enjoyable comedic work both individually and as a duo. As another example of the male-mid-life-crisis movie now hitting 30-year-olds - and inevitably our two male leads are immature and ineffectual in their daily lives - this movie scores points by almost being a credible scenario, and the more serious turn taken towards the end provides a nice contrast with the knockabout early scenes. It's not quite another Jump Street, but Let's Be Cops delivers straightforward fun.
