Plot: Two cops are paired together. Both their partners were killed in a drug case, the two have 48 hours to get to the bottom of the case. They can't stand each other and their methods are very different, but if they want results they're forced to cooperate. Even if that means crossing the line of the acceptable.

2.5*/5.0*

A simple spoof of films like Lethal Weapon (but any other buddy cop movie works too). The comedy is daft and there are quite a few misses, but that's a given with films like these. It's the dedication to the genre and the relentlessness that makes this a very easy watch, even if there are better ones out there.

Some of the references are a bit too on the nose and Estevez isn't the best man for the job, but there's hardly any time to get annoyed as the jokes keep on coming. Not quite as good as Hot Shots or The Naked Gun, but for fans of the genre this is a welcome addition. I sure had fun with it.
