Jimmy is a detective along with his long-time best friend Paul. When Jimmy's daughter announces that she is getting married Jimmy vows to pay for her dream wedding. After put on probation by his boss Jimmy tries to sell a vintage mint condition baseball card only to have it stolen and then end up in the hands of a violent gangster.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, and while it does provide some decent comedy it is far more of an action orientated film than a comedy. There is what you would expect from a well rounded action film, a chase on foot, a car chase, some gunfights and plenty of tough talking.
Sean William Scott (the thief) at times out acts Tracey Morgan and I found him to be a better character than Paul was. Cop Out is a good movie about the lengths a father down on his luck would go to to give his daughter the wedding of her dreams and outshine the step-father.
Random listing from 'Movies'...
The horror comedy Zombieland focuses on two men who have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus is a big wuss - but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-toting, zombie-slaying' bad ass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth.
As they join forces with Wichita and Little Rock, who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.
