Cop Out
Directed by: Kevin Smith Starring: Tracy Morgan, Bruce Willis, Adam Brody, Seann William Scott Rating: R Release Date: February 6, 2010
TRAILER SCORE: 3/10
MY THOUGHTS: Ouch. I don't slight Kevin Smith for making a truly "Hollywood" movie. Eventually he was going to step away from his own scripts and attempt to show himself as a director capable of handling other material. But this is the result? Obviously I haven't seen the movie yet, but this laughless trailer has me worried. Sure there will be more cussing and raunchy humor (with Smith it's guaranteed), but the staleness of the material in this preview has me concerned that even Smith's staple humor style will be disappointing.
I should probably watch "30 Rock" like people tell me. I don't think Tracy Morgan has been funny except on SNL, and he doesn't make his case any better here. His "no" rant at the end of this trailer is just desperate. All of this being said, Bruce Willis doesn't look too happy to be here either.
The most appealing aspect of this trailer is its title, but that interest is available only to those who know what the project's original title was - "A Couple of Dicks."
