Believe it or not Bruce Willis was cool at one time. Not anymore nor is this movie.
There is no story here!? Check it out: an old ass NYPD cop's rare baseball card is stolen. Since it's his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, he recruits his partner to track down the thief, a memorabilia-obsessed gangster. SNORE!! This movie makes Rush Hour 3 look like an winner for Best Picture. The movie's background music is a rip-off of Beverly Hills Cop music which came out 100 years ago. There are some creative comedy bits but not much. Tracy Morgan tries his best but he's no Chris Tucker, not yet. Chris Tucker has not been Chris Tucker lately so Tracy needs a breakthrough movie and this ain't it. Flick may have been better if they teamed up Morgan with Carlos Mencia. Even Stifler, Seann William Scott, is no longer funny.
Only bright spots are Quincy Jone's daughter, Rashida Jones, as Morgan's wife and a lady who steals the movie (her house is getting robbed) with her gun and foul mouth.
Verdict: Give the lady with the foul mouth and gun, Susie Essman, a sitcom. She was the best thing in the movie.
