I'm not going to go overboard and say this film deserves academy awards or should set the standard for cop/action movies, but this was a great little movie. Overall, it's a nice blend of action and comedy (some scenes had me laughing hysterically, and I'm not very easily amused). There's basically something for everyone who watches this film, though- comedy, action, drama, romance, suspense, etc. A well-rounded film that is definitely worth renting and a pleasant change from the standard Jerry Bruckheimer-type high-gloss crime/action movies that have been so common in recent times. Richard Dreyfuss gives a great performance but, then again, so does the whole cast. I wish they still made cop movies with the same charm as this. Recommended.
