BigZ Walks The Beat With A COUPLE OF COPS From (Director-Only) Kevin Smith!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Beaks here...
For his first film as a director of someone else's material (and his second to be distributed without Bob and Harvey Weinstein), Kevin Smith has chosen A COUPLE OF COPS, a buddy-cop comedy structured around the disappearance of a 1952 Topps Andy Pafko baseball card. It stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, and... well, what else do you need to know? This will either be a brilliantly unconventional pairing or the next SHOWTIME.
According to our spy BigZ, who checked out the film at a recent test screening, A COUPLE OF COPS is no SHOWTIME - nor is it LOOSE CANNONS or THE HARD WAY or DOWNTOWN or COLLISION COURSE. Evidently, it's pretty damn funny. In fact, if BigZ is on the money here, it sounds like this could easily open to more than ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO grossed in its entire theatrical run. And I'm 100% basing this on his "Rashida Jones in her lingerie" comment.
BigZ's review is brief, but he does manage to give away what may be one of the film's biggest laughs, so beware. And, yes, the title is no longer A COUPLE OF DICKS. If this infuriates you, feel free to make your displeasure known in the below talkback. (My opinion: if this isn't a concession to the MPAA, either change the title completely or stick with "Dicks". A COUPLE OF COPS is just insultingly bland.)
Big Harry,
If you use this call me BigZ
Saw you didn’t have any reviews up of the new Kevin Smith movie, “A Couple of Dicks”. So here ya go...
First off we were told the title is “A Couple of Cops,” now who knows what the thing will be called when it comes out but as far as I’m concerned if they call it ACOC I’ll ram my fist up someone for being that dumb. Possibly the most generic title ever. FYI they made us sign NDAs but did not actually check our ID so I am sure they will be amused by the alias I used which I will not repeat. Although the word “kack” is featured.
I digress, the movie ROCKED. The scenes with Stifler in the back of the car with Bruce and Tracy are fucking golden. I am going to keep this spoiler free but will mention a couple things which will prove to be memorable. We have Tracy dressed in a cellphone outfit while he is undercover which leads to the stock buddy-cop scene with Tracy and Bruce being shat on by their superior in his office for ruining an ongoing investigation. As they hand over their badge and gun the scene went from being a retread of EVERY Lethal Weapon and Beverly Hills Cop movie to completely kick-ass due to the outlandishness of Tracy STILL IN HIS CELL-PHONE OUTFIT during the whole scene. Oh, and he ends up on youtube stealing a kids bike in yes, you guessed, the cell-phone outfit.
The music though I am sure is mostly stock perfectly sets up the movie as what you hope it will be, a pitch-perfect take on the old-school 80’s/early 90’s buddy cop movies. You have more synthesizers than you can shake a stick at. It is perfect. No Jay-Z stupid shit, No Limp Bizkit or any new pop crap. Just cheesy 80’s cop music. PERFECT. Now who knows if that will stay the same but I am hoping so. KEVIN YOU LISTENING?
The plot revolves around Bruce Willis getting a baseball card stolen by Stifler (who enjoys taking a shit at interesting times) which makes him unable to pay for his daughters wedding. Yes, you heard that right. That is the actual plot. I know it sounds RIDICULOUS but works perfectly and sets up the tone they are going for.
Now there are some misfires, Adam Brody was hit and (mostly) miss as a dumb young cop trying to please Kevin Pollak. Pollack as usual is of course his usual awesome self. Also, the gangster played by Guillermo from Weeds is pretty much just that, Guillermo from Weeds. Now I’m not saying he’s not funny but HE IS THE EXACT SAME CHARACTER. The only thing to take me out of the movie is waiting for Mary-Louise Parker to walk her sweet ass in to slap him around. Also once again the plot is about a stolen baseball card so I’m sure this wont win any Oscars.
But Kevin Smith has shown he can direct OPM (Other People’s Material) and still infuse his own wit. And he has nailed the tone and feel of the old-school cop movies we all grew up on.
But we will all come out of this saying two things... Why do we not get a better look at Rashida Jones in her lingerie? AND How is an Andy Pafko card worth so much?!?!
I know this wasn’t too in-depth but I am a few vodka tonics in to my Mad Men marathon and busy slapping my secretary on her ass.
Do yourelf a favor and check these Dicks out when they are unsheathed in 2010... God I wish I was a copywriter for the ads for this movie. Too much fun...

Seriously. Stupid uptight studio...

Just kidding. Go Kevin!

It stars Bruce Fucking Willis! Doesn't mean ti will be worth a shit. I mean, TRACY MORGAN? Has there EVER been a less funny person on SNL? And he co-stars with Bruce Willis? In what universe does that make a lick of fucking sense?

I am so infuriated. It's quite amazing just how infuriated I am
by royston lodge
Infuriated!
-
Pafko is perhaps best known for being card #1 in the 1952 Topps baseball card set. This card in near mint or better condition is often worth thousands of dollars because most collectors back in 1952 simply put the cards in numerical order and rubber banded the stack. This causes the top card (Pafko) to receive the most wear and tear and thus top grade copies are very rare and valuable.
-
While reading this I envisioned Kevin on his laptop, giggling as he typed, "Hey Big Z here!" giggle, giggle, giggle....
-
Whattup with that?

Tracy Morgan.....IN A CELL PHONE OUTFIT! BWAH HA HA HA!
by revenge_of_fett
GET IT? It's funny because he's in....A CELL PHONE OUTFIT! I tell ya, it's comedy gold!
-
Or any John Badham film post-STAKEOUT (though ANOTHER STAKEOUT has its moments).
-
OH. MY. GOD!!! That is the most hilarious thing I have ever heard. That is the most hilarious thing anyone is likely to see in any film this or any other year!! I mean, he kept his CELL PHONE OUTFIT on THE WHOLE TIME???? Who does that?? That is so funny my stomach hurts me right now. I can't believe they went there, but they did. I think I'll go get in line right now for the movie, just to make sure I don't miss that hilarious gag. Wow, a CELL PHONE OUTFIT??? Genius, I say, genius!!!
-
Thats Awesome Can't WAIT!
-
REVENGE_of_FETT beat me to it!!! Fucker!!!
-
I'm pretty sure, that people still grasp the double meaning of the word.
-
It's like, the pure genious of donning a cell phone outfit wasn't enough, they took it to the next fuxking level man! He KEEPS IT ON for several scenes! Hopefully someday someone will be brave enough to make us laugh so hard we risk blowing out our assholes by having someone wear a cell phone outfit FOR AN ENTIRE FILM!
-
If you can't be bothered to look up the actor's actual name, why should I listen to your opinion?
-
Much fucking love for the Hard Way. Especially Stephen Lang, who nearly walks away with the whole movie. This movie will get a look-see from me. Kevin Smith directing Bruce Willis? Yeah, I'm there.

"FYI they made us sign NDAs but did not actually check our ID"
by 3 bag enema
LOL Now STFU PDQ you SOB
-
That doesn't make any sense! Why not SOME COPS? or TWO COPS?
-
Suits. I hate them. If they end up calling this A Couple of Cops ... well, they can kiss their box office goodbye and it's all their fault coming up with a lame, generic title. It's not like A COUPLE OF DICKS is in the same ballpark as that Smith's "Zac and Miri Make A Porno" title. Now that screamed for a new title. From the obscure name Miri to Porno in the title ... it was asking for nobody to go to the flick. A COUPLE OF DICKS isn't exactly and apples to apples comparison.
-
Surrogates anyone?
-
We always need more buddy cops movies. I could awesome-o out buddy cop scripts all day.
-
That film had confusing marketing and opened against Pandorum while still competing against 9, Jennifer's Body, Final Destination and Inglorious Basterds which were all the same demographic. Still it managed to open to $15M, $5M more than zack and Miri opened to (which by the way had nothing remotely similar in theaters at the time).
-
"NO!... FrommetoYOU!". Can't say I was too taken by "The Hard Way" (James Woods and Michael J. Fox may have been the most awkward buddy pairing in movie history). Still, Stephen Lang as The Party Crasher was a priceless OTT piece of acting. Can't wait to see him mop up the floor with Sam Worthington in "Avatar".
-
Not from I read on his Twitter posts. Oh, wrong dicks!

Anyone who says that Tracy Morgan should have his fucking brains
by revenge_of_fett
CUH-LEARLY has not seen the comedy goldmine of seeing him steal a kid's bike.....WHILE WEARING A CELL PHONE OUTFIT! I mean, that's a fuckign PRESENT to me and you. We OWE Tracy Morgan for that. We should all get together and feed him forever for that shit. I'm going to invite him to come live at my house so I can bathe and brush him.
-
But all those movies you mentioned were terrible.
-
See, I think that's way catchier...
-
Maybe they should call it "A Couple Of Privates"
-
What about that instead?
-
Andy is still alive & well. He lives in the same Chicago suburb as I do. He will be flattered when this comes out!
-
I saw, and liked Final Destination for what it was, a laugh-out-loud splatterfest. Pandorum was the shiz-fucking-nit and Inglorious Basterds was terrible? Come now!I will agree that 9 definitely missed the mark and word on Jennifer's Body is not good, but both of those films had a lot of buzz and that put asses in seats.
-
What about "Nick of Time"? Maybe the film didn't live up to its incredible trailer, but it's still really fun.
-
I mean you can argue his worth as a writer, and regardless of your opinion of his films, he usually manages to do what he does reasonably well in that regard, but he has never been able to direct for fried shit. I mean the best thing he ever wrote, Dogma, could have been a classic film if anyone with even an inkling of directorial talent had directed it rather than mister point 'n shoot Kevin Smith, but instead we got what we got. A largely frustrating film that could have been so much better with someone actually talented behind the camera. An annoying ode to what could have been, but wasn't. I mean I don't hate Kevin Smith, I have no fanboy vendetta against the guy, but we are talking about someone who directorially has not improved or grown as a film maker one iota since Clerks. A guy who Brett Ratner has more directorial vision than. So why would anyone hire Kevin Smith to direct (and likely suck the life out of) someone elses script? This is a guy who was too scared to direct Green Hornet himself, because he knows he can't shoot action, or anything other than standard point 'n shoot talking heads type work. It makes so little sense I think my head may literally implode.
-
you realize that miri is short for miriam, right?
-
Now that's catchier isn't it?
-
I wonder what could be more generic?Cop Movie...
-
DANCES WITH SMURFS IN A CELLPHONE OUTFIT has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
-
But Smith had to change it because the studio couldn't get airtime for commercials on NBC/ABC/CBS (FOX didn't care) until later on in the evening if they kept that title
-
Yet, fans eat his shit up.
-
Please, Kevin, go back to writing bad comic books forever.

SMITH MADE CLERKS 1&2, ZACK AND MIRI, CHASING AMY AND....
by tehcreepythinman
I am forever grateful. I hope he gets Red State made.
-
What a lame capitulation. If they can't use dicks than come up with another damn title!
-
Spectators with cell phones capture the lead characters doing something nutty and it gets put on the web and taken out of context. I've seen this gag done about a dozen times now.
-
AND MY ENTIRE BRAIN LINEAGE. FUCK THAT TITLE.
-
She's the perfect mix of brains, hotness and humor.
-
...a couple of cops makes NO sense! removing the word 'dicks' completely negates the 'couple of'. fuck them up their stupid asses. they are fucking clown shoes.
-
Or is it cool to hate on Tracy Morgan now?
-
until I read the name Tracy Morgan. No, it's not "cool" to hate on him, but it sure makes alot of sense if you're going to. Considering that he sucks.
-
how does kevin smith get to make movies?
-
I realize "A Couple of Cops" (horrible title) will be nothing like Running Scared, but I would like nothing more than to see another buddy-cop movie along those lines. I enjoy Kevin Smith's films, so I'll still see it, but it's obvious that this movie will just be Bruce Willis as the Murtaugh-esque character and Morgan as his crazy sidekick, and let the hijinks ensue.
-
"you casanov?"
"fucking a"
great film -
As long as "cool" means "correct". The man is a human tampon. His schtick amounts to screaming "I'm Brian Fellows!" at the top of his lungs. Now starmand, that might make you lose your shit, but it just makes us wrinkle our foreheads and wonder how in THE FUCK that guy got on TV.
-
to be fair Morgan isn't the only dude who I ask that question about. "How the FUCK did this unfunny ASSHOLE get on tv??" He sure is up there though.
-
I do like the idea of using a bunch of synthesizer music. By the way, this review sucks. Worse grammar than usual on an AICN review. Also, why does this guy continually mention Stifler? The actor has a name, you know...
-
The hard way rocks! It is bad in every which way and also so awesome in every which way. If you cannot see that you are a bad man, very bad man.
-
and is about the gutless suits who caved on the first film's title. Appropriately, the title for the sequel isn't as witty as the first movie's (first) title.
-
I made my facebook status about Ober yesterday, and I got 0 feedback. Are we the only people that watched Remote Control?
-
I think that the reviewer thinks he will come across as cool if he calls Sean William Scott "Stiffler" in a condescending way.
-
After reading that I had to look for my big grain of salt, the one I swore I'd keep around after Clerks II.
-
I was a big fan of Remote Control, too. Wondered why no mention of him yesterday once his death was confirmed.
Also, there are a lot of sad, bitter, humorless, assholes visiting this site. -
A Couple of Dicks is funny. You either find Smith's flicks funny or you don't. I happen to think Kevin Smith is a fucking hilarious guy, knows timing, and all that.Clerks II was funny, Zack and Miri was fucking hilarious, and I think this flick will be funny too. Almost as funny as Avatar's gonna be.

by kravmaguffin
I must of watched a different movie, cause it was mediocre at best. Remove Rosie O. and it's watchable.
Yes Stephen Lang rules in the Hard Way!
-A Couple of Richards... ijs -
Thank God, I thought I was insane. Tracy Morgan is gold on 30 Rock. Hell, he's the reason I even want to see this movie.
-
Am I the only one who doesn't know? I have no clue why that's supposed to be funny. Maybe upon sight I would, I dunno... And I know that AICN talkbacks can be unfair to Smith at times, but Kevin, please for the love of god tell me you're not keeping that title.
-
Well, actually just one.
-
Fucking weak.
I'll still see it, but, still... -
was pressured to change the name of The Bank Dick?
-
I'd see THAT movie...
-
when I grow up!

They should change the Name to A couple of Pussies
by rene_belloq_12inch_figure
I crack myself up.
-
It is hard to rewatch now, even though I am a big Kevin Smith fan. The low budget and poorly directed "action" sequences really are painful to watch. That being said, he has grown as a director with each film. He isn't great by any means, but he is certainly passable today.I still think he'd be better off passing off some of his scripts to better directors (like he should have done with Green Hornet) rather than direct someone else's script. He insists he can't write action well, but his comic books, and his Superman script were well enough. I think he could have written a good Green Hornet if he wasn't terrified of having to direct it.
-
Thta guy horrible.I cant stand his ass.He is just NOT FUNNY.
-
His "talent" is/was in writing.
Smith's directing is non-existent, just point and shoot, so why would anyone pay that fat talentless turd to do what a monkey can do? -
ditto stegman84
-
Nice name. I've been looking at that ad for the longest time and thinking to myself who the hell would buy a 12" Rene Belloq action figure?
-
You are, Robert!
-
WTF? That movie's great.
-
never underestimate the power of the fanboy. If they sold Leonard Nimoy's used tissue someone would buy it.
-
It's funny without being offensive. What's not to like? Hmmm... I wonder how they'll sneak Jay and Silent Bob into this one!
-
"Yippie Ki yay, cocksmokers"
-
'I'll be there...if I'm not still handcuffed to this GODDAMN SOFA!'
-
And pop culture references! I never get tired of that!!
-
Woods, Fox, and delicious Annabella Sciorra.
-
on AICN. Never get tired of that either.
-
retard
-
Because I'm really enjoying them.
-
I used to post as mitortilla, but got banned after callin Mr. Beaks a faggot. I like this name better.
-
For a comic book guy he has no visual flair. Just point and shoot. I get the impression he directs simply to keep other people from screwing up his scripts. Sort of like Preston Sturges, who was a writer who started directing because he was tired of seeing what other directors were doing to his material. Hope he does well with a script not his own.
-
to the k smith we all know and love? Jay and Silent Bob strike back was not funny, clerks 2 was mediocre-he won me back with Zack and Miri-it felt very much like his old stuff...now he's doing a buddy comedy with Tracy goddamn Morgan?
-
Visuals are just one part of a director's job on a film. Yes, they are a large part of it, but I think people are forgetting that one of a director's principal jobs (hell, I'd say THE principal job) is to direct the actors. Kevin Smith has fairly consistently, in my eyes, gotten pretty good performances out of actors who maybe aren't so good Look at everyone in Clerks. The performances aren't great, but they're better than a lot of non-actors often are and he's got a knack for comedic timing. As long as he's got a solid DP who can do some of the visual thinking for him, this could be good.
-
Chasing Amy. That's my response to people who say Kevin Smith can't make a hit movie. I like his straight-up comedies, but Chasing Amy was a movie that was at times very funny, but had a lot of heart, a great plot, realistic acting and characterization, and an ambiguous ending.I also really liked Clerks I & II, Mallrats, and the much maligned Jersey Girl. Zack & Miri was great too. But I like his stuff best when he wears his heart on his sleeve. Sadly, when he does that he tends to get lambasted. When he goes back to what actually sells he gets criticized for not taking risks (which has resulted, in my opinion, in his best stuff but generally doesn't fare so well as the tit and fart joke stuff, so why wouldn't he?). He might not be Spielberg, Scorsese, or Kubrick, but he's not bad and at his best he's made some very powerful cinematic moments. Most poignant, Ollie finding out about his wife in Jersey Girl, and any number of moments between Holden and Alyssa in Chasing Amy.
-
I can't imagine a studio forking over big budget material to Smith.
-
Really?! This poster wants to make a point about new pop music and uses Limp Bizkit as an example. Now Limp Bizkit is certainly crap but they haven't been around or relevant for since Britney Spears was in a schoolgirl outfit. The reviewer sounds out of the loop using them as a example of pop culture in the new millennium...
-
Or some other non offensive title. Not surprised by this at all. Im not shocked, and I were I'd comfor myself with the enterprise disc case that came with Star Trek from Target. Makes me wanna change my initials to jtk. What what!
-
This is from one of his fag followers from viewaskew.com. He screened the movie for them and then pulled a fingercuffs for someone to leak a good review to the press. Hack director mutha fucker.
-
A COUPLE OF DICKS is an attention grabber and would have made people laugh. A COUPLE OF COPS is just boring.
-
I bet Smith filled this piece of shit with music from Weezer's new album. Smith and Cuomo and their balding heads reliving the 80s with shitty synth-pop!
-
Title sucks hard.
-
Wtf?
-
Seriously, is there a less funny individual alive? It's painful even watching the idiot.
-
The Party Crasher is a classic villain! Also the scene between James Woods and Michael J. Fox when they are pretending to be on a date is one of the most hilarious scenes ever! Also you have to love the disgusting hot dogs James Woods eats in the movie! It's up there with the disgusting twinkie concoction in UHF!
-
walk into a bar and shit out Kevin Smith.. Oh the hilarity ensues!

The Kevin Smith that directed Clerks was a shitty director
by quin the eskimo
the guy that directed Zach and Mirii is not that guy. If you can't see that growth then you all aren't paying attention.
-
I like Smith's films. I also like The Hard Way a lot as well.
-
yesssssssss. the bruce as well!
-
Beaks your credibility has plummeted once more.
-
that kevin smith has had consistent growth...more like a roller coaster ride. Jay and Bob Strike back-shit, clerks 2-better shit,jersey girl-shit, except for carlin which made that film better than the last two I mentioned. Zach and Miri was definately a redeemer for him, but now he does this? Normally I'll give anything a shot, but two actors that I cannot watch are Tracey "I always LOOK mildly retarded" Morgan and Jimmy "I alaways ACT mildly retarded" Fallon...can't do it
-
I think the reviewer is talking about Ana de la Reguera.
-
I'm a KS fan but this reviewer sounds like a fucking idiot.
-
are in cell phone outfits. Actually, I imagined all the complaining in Tracey Morgan's voice it was fan-fucking-tastic. Some funny shit. Just remember, a show Morgan is on has won the Emmy for best comedy... and you haven't. As for Smith... he has grown, but only once. Before he became a father, he was acerbic, witty, every discontented Gen-Xer slacker funny man. Since then every movie TRIES to be as funny but every movie has a love/family/meaningful message. That's where he is in life and that's cool. Clerks 2 may have been the funniest movie of the 2000's IMO and if you can't see the funny have someone slap you upside the head and get your laugh factory out of retard mode
-
be called "A Couple of Dicks". And that's the fault of the TV Networks, who are so shit-scared of offending right-wing god-fearing religious minorities. Those odious jesus freaks need to shut the fuck up, and the networks need to man the fuck up.
Honestly, ever since Janets underboob hit the screens, a tiny minority of religious freaks collectively shit their pants and that STINK has made America a shittier place to live. -
I don't see how a show someone is on winning an Emmy is a qualifying statement for... anything. Aren't Emmy's just golden dipped turds anyway? I've always felt Smith has been hit or miss so we'll see.
-
Sounds great :-)
-
Deal with it, morons.
-
Hey, Kevin, there you go. You can have that title for free. I wouldn't even accept free tickets to this POS.
-
really should be looking for someone to direct his screenplays. I think he is a good writer, but he really sucks at directing. Tommy Wiseau is a better director than he is. I think Smith would even admit this.
-
after Hot Fuzz - which i watched again last night as part of my Edward Woodward tribute season - i don't need anymore buddy cop films that one was gold.
-
Tracy Morgan is funny? Then I suppose you think Jimmy Fallon is a comedic genius.
Idiot. -
National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 2
-
James Woods RULES in that movie!
-
a Couple of Dicks the Hard Way...
-
Changing the title was the only thing he could do. He was burned bad with Z and M make a porno (which should have made a hell of a lot more). The right decision to change it.
-
...and Michael J. Fox had a hell of a fun time sending himself up, and together they had a great odd couple chemistry. It wasn't quite a Midnight Run or 48 HRS type classic, but it was still a quality, fun film, the kind that we just don't see made these days. I have fond memories anyway. Too bad (and quite strange) that Nick of Time basically seemed to have killed his career, after that he flirted with dtv before turning into a life of episodic tv directing...
-
Again. I love The Hard Way. It doesn't get proper credit.
-
Or, as I like to call him, Brett Ratner, but with talent.
-
for not knowing who Rashida Jones is! I'll probably wait for it on video now.
-
When white girls go to the dark side, a kid like rashida is what they hope for, but for most of them all they get is a kid that hates them for being a white woman.
-
the last good movie he made was chasing amy.
-
Seriously? We can't handle the word Dicks in a movie about a couple of private dicks? Worst title sanitizing I can recall.
-
I can't believe the AICN talkbackers haven't gone retarded crazy trying to rename this film.
-
..Surrogates, anyone? And Tracy Morgan has DTV/Jimmy Fallon "Taxi" smell written all over it. This should do big business January 23, 2011...
-
But I will see it...
On BOOTLEG!!! -
Your basic Bobby Murcer/Jason Bay(w/ a glove) type guy, Cubs and Dodgers from the forties and fifties. He was the guy who was against the LF Wall looking up when Bobby Thompson's 'Shot heard around the world' beat the Dodgers and won the Pennant in '51 for the Giants. Donno WHY a card for him would be worth more than say a Vern Stephens or Gil MacDougald or Carl Furillo card--but okay. It's a plotski device, don't carp. The flick itself sounds like it might be kinda fun.
