A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Victoria Luxford

New Girl co-stars Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr play underachievers who go to a party as fancy-dress cops. When they are mistaken for real officers, they enjoy the attention and decide to keep the charade going - which throws them in the path of the Russian mob. Predictable from the start, this fake-cop comedy begins to grate once the novelty of the set-up fades and a standard "falling foul of the mob" plot takes over (see The Heat, Ride Along and a dozen others like it). As likeable as the two on-screen losers are, the inevitability of their journey means both they and the impressive supporting cast (particularly Rob Riggle as a real-life cop duped by their antics) career towards an eye-rolling finish. With a funny premise that is never really developed, Let's Be Cops raises the occasional smile but is so generic it feels like a thousand other comedies that came before it.
