Let’s see if I have this right: Kevin Smith is too fat to fly…and he lacks the talent to make a good movie. That doesn’t leave him with many options, given the current unemployment rate. The reviews for Kevin Smith’s latest cinematic turd are in and would you believe Jersey Girl, considered to be the worst Smith film, is considerably better than Cop-Out, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes?
Jersey Girl manages to rate an underwhelming 41%, but Cop-Out, starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, explores the depths of hell by generating a whopping 17%.
Here are some choice words:
*A pointless homage to the cheesy buddy-cop action comedies of the 1980s, employing all the familiar tropes but failing to do anything with them.
*It’s like Beverly Hills Cop meets Die Hard, except we liked those movies.
*Smith needs to stop putting his creative energy into funny tweets and go back to writing scripts with heart and humor and memorable characters.
*This pitiful excuse for entertainment is utterly bereft of wit, intelligence or craft on any level. The only thing left to screw up would have been to leave the lens cap on the camera. Wait, that would have been an improvement.
*Cop Out is unspeakably terrible, a laugh-free comedy that mistakenly thinks it’s the height of hilarity while the audience, in return, sit stone-faced for the better part of two hours.
Please retire and go make YouTube videos or something.
