Cop & ½
One kid's fantasy. One cop's nightmare.
Directed by Henry Winkler
Produced by Imagine Entertainment, Universal Pictures
A lighthearted buddy-cop comedy that pairs a cynical adult with an earnest child, balancing action-movie tropes with family-friendly humor and genuine warmth.
When a pint-sized 8-year-old kid witnesses a murder he offers to help the police, if they make him a cop, too. Saddled with this streetwise sidekick, a hardboiled cop is forced to take his new partner seriously as they race the clock to bring the bad guys to justice.
