Let's Be Cops

Fake Cops. Real Trouble.

Directed by Luke Greenfield

Produced by Wide Awake Pictures, Genre Films

2014104 min6.5 / 10

A lighthearted buddy-cop comedy that mines humor from male friendship and the absurdity of two friends impersonating police, balancing playful chaos with genuine affection between the leads.

Best pals Ryan and Justin are stalled in their respective careers -- a fact that is painfully driven home when they go to a college reunion. Dressed as police in the mistaken belief that they were to attend a costume party, Ryan and Justin find that the uniforms earn them much respect and attention. Although Justin is uncomfortable with the idea, Ryan decides to continue with the charade, putting them both in increasingly dangerous situations. When these newly-minted “heroes” get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line.
