Cop and ½ Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much

GazerRise Fantastic!
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Geeky Randy Widely panned spoof of the Hollywood buddy cop movie, but if you were a preadolescence in the 1990s, you may have a soft spot for this one. Admittedly ridiculous plot about an eight-year-old witness (Norman D. Golden II) cutting a deal with the Tampa Police Department to provide them information if he could immediately be a cop… and, for some convenient reason, is partnered up with the short-tempered child-hating Reynolds. Ray Sharkey plays the primary antagonist in his final performance, a big band singing killer with plenty of goofy henchmen in tow. If you're able to look past how unrealistic the movie is, it is ultimately incredibly funny and entertaining; with Norman D. Golden II having the perfect attitude for pulling off a kid with a badge, while Reynolds is able to make good use of his big temper and explosive facial expressions. Originally intended to be a sequel to KINDERGARTEN COP.*** (out of four)
normangolden He has a Twitter and he is a rapper now too under the name "Enormus" his twitter is @NormanGoldenll (that's Norman Golden the second) hes cool, funny, nice always responds, great preacher, great rapper ,great actor and so bomb.Get a twitter account. His music is on itunes and myspace at myspace.com/enormusone. This movie is the best 90's movie ever. He still friends with Burt Reynolds and Oprah. He is way too adorable in this film. You will fall in love with him. He was a little Dakota Fanning. He deserves to be in motion picture movies now. He is the best actor in the world.You can get this movie at blockbuster,amazon,itunes,netflix,and anywhere else.
Joe Lesser I avoided this movie like the plague for years and years. Then one day I happened to catch a few minutes of it on TV. I became interested enough in it to hunt down a copy of it. Well, it turns out that it's not that bad a movie. Okay, it's not that good, but it's not that bad. During those years when I was avoiding it, I saw dozens of movies that were worse. It's just a silly kids movie, but it's okay.Its strongest asset is its star Norman Golden II. The kid is a natural on screen & he's fun to watch. Unfortunately, Burt plays it too serious at times & his opening scene is very weak. Henry Winkler's direction is too silly at times. It would have been nice if they had built up the story a little more. My guess is that some scenes were cut out of the movie, because they never explain some things & refer to other scenes that we never see. - For instance, they never tell us what happened to Devon's parents. I mean, we can guess that they are dead, but it would have been better to have him talk about it. Also, they talk about one guy getting released early after Burt arrests him, but we never find out why. - They also should have built up Burt & Devon's friendship more...So they cut out some of serious scene & left us with the silliest stuff. Oh well.Even with its weaknesses, I kind of like it in a guilty pleasure kind of way. I mean, even when the movie is bad, it's kind of funny. There are a few ridiculous toupees in the movie (Burt wasn't alone on that one!) and in a couple of scenes Burt wears the sweatiest shirt I ever saw. - And what was up with that Twinky scene? It was like a modern mini-pie fight...I'm not sure exactly why people hate the movie so much. There are worse movies than this every year. There are worse kids movies & Burt has made worse movies, too.
Vincent Cadena This isn't a great movie, in fact it's a pretty bad movie, but if you're a kid or want to laugh you might like this. Too many times do you see time and time again people rating or criticizing movie's that aren't worth their time, the reason I gave this a 10 was to give it a small boost. I remember when this movie came out, I was 10 and I didn't want to see it, to be honest with you the poster kind of freaked me out. When it came out on video I saw it, basically what you get is an unrealistic movie about a kid and a detective(Reynolds). It's funny, silly, stupid and poorly made but that shouldn't stop you from having a good time. If you're a kid, someone that has low standards or a stoner, you'll probably have a good time, I mean you could have a good time just making fun of this movie. If you're a conservative, a teenager, a person that has high standards, or a racist you probably won't like this.
