Skip it. This 2003 buddy cop comedy starring Martin Lawrence and Steve Zahn has all the hallmarks of a forgettable action-comedy cash-in — mismatched partners, a contrived plot, and dated humor that hasn't aged well. Unless you're a die-hard fan of either actor or actively hunting for early-2000s nostalgia, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

Earl Montgomery, a bombastic police academy reject, and Hank Rafferty, a disgraced, mild-mannered cop, can't seem to escape each other. They met on opposite sides of the law during a routine traffic stop that escalated out of control; now as lowly security guards they're thrown together to bust a smuggling operation.

Director: Dennis Dugan

Cast: Martin Lawrence, Steve Zahn, Colm Feore, Bill Duke, Eric Roberts
