Frederick S.

Good for some laughs. Levy steals this one. But the real laughs was that this was not filmed anywhere near Detroit. Michigan does not have front license plates, the city was way too clean and nobody calls it the "94 freeway," it's either "The Ford Freeway" or "I 94."

Predictable buddy/cop movie, but it had some really funny scenes. We watched it twice. Not an Oscar winner, but good entertainment.

It wasnt the greatest but it wasnt horrible either. At least I didnt feel that it was a waste of 2 hours. It was entertaining to a certain extent and I wouldnt put it on a pedistal. It was enjoyable for the first time, but its not a movie that you would run and see again.
