Having graduated from the police academy, former security guard Ben Barber (Kevin Hart) joins the Atlanta Police Department. Along with his soon-to-be brother-in-law James Payton (Ice Cube), Ben is sent to Miami to bring down the feared drug lord Antonio Pope (Benjamin Bratt), which streetwise cop James sees as another ideal opportunity to rid himself of his irritating sidekick. Having gained James's reluctant blessing, the rookie cop also has a wedding, that's just around the corner, to plan. Ken Jeong and Olivia Munn also star. (Universal Pictures UK)

Under different circumstance, I quite like these buddy action movies. With this one, however, I couldn’t understand why they turned the otherwise interesting car chase into a game video from “Grand Theft Auto 3”. Including the graphics. And that wasn’t even the only stupid scene in this movie. An incredibly chatty Kevin Hart along with the wacky Ken Jeong won’t save the movie either. So, what else can I say? I will happily avoid this piece next time.

Buddy movies are films that I generally like, but this is just recycling everything you could have seen during the entire filming of these movies. Moreover, when it comes to police officers, there is basically not a single good idea, not a single original joke here. And yet, for some reason, it's not garbage to me. Yeah, one of the reasons will be Olivia Munn.
