by: Dave Davis Dec. 23, 2009

The title has officially changed from A COUPLE OF DICKS to COP OUT, but the Bruce Willis/Tracy Morgan team-up seems otherwise intact.

Maybe the original title was more appropriate -- I thought this new trailer was more unbearably juvenile than entertaining. But your mileage may vary, particularly if you're among director Kevin Smith's legions of fans. Check it out below or head on over to Apple for the HD version.

The official synopsis: Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his "partner-against-crime" whose preoccupation with his wife's alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.

Pass....
It looks like crap and all I have is Showtime flashbacks, besides it's not written by Smith so I'm sure I won't be missing much.

i like most of kevin smiths stuff, that said, this trailer didnt appeal to me. so i will wait untill there is one or 2 more out, so i can then decide if this is something to see.

Smith had to play to a wider audience in editing is all
Kevin Smith hasn't flopped in several movies, it's going to be great no matter how safe he had to play it with the trailer.

I'm really hoping that this trailer is awful because all of the funny parts are inappropriate. Judging by the trailer, this looks like it's going to be one of Bruce Willis's worst movies. Kevin Smith is directing this crap? Really????

Its a coin toss
I have an incredible appreciation for Kevin Smith. I've really loved all of his flicks. But Tracey Morgan makes me want to kick puppies. I absolutely loathe that manchild, and I really think that may prevent me from seeing this otherwise entirely capable of being good movie.

i'm willing to give it a chance
sure i already commented but i changed my opinion.

We must remember one thing, this trailer DID show random clips that were completely out of context.

We all know how Kevin Smith's comedy works, there is always a lengthy trade of dialogue that builds up to the funny part- i suspect there is something that makes that knock knock thing really funny that this clip leaves out.

Love Tracy Morgan on 30 Rock, and really nothing other than that. He's only funny on that because the writing is so good. This?.....meh

Awkward
Kevin Smith's directing looks so awkward in that preview. This is going to be terrible. Smith really should just stick to smaller movies. That knock knock scene at the end was unbearable.

Kevin Smith is losing his shit in his old age. He should just stick to talking on radio shows and lecture halls, where he's actually still funny.

Well, I liked it. Mostly because of Bruce Willis and Sean William Scott. I never liked the comedic style of Tracy Morgan. It must awkward for him, because I can tell he was trying, but still Bruce Willis came off funnier in that trailer, not speaking quite as much as Tracy did. When someone who is more subtle gets more laughs than the one who is actually trying to be funny... we got a problem.

I don't really think that's a problem per-say it just establishes who is most of the comic foil. To me the writing just seems weak, doesn't matter who speaks more.

I wish I could say this looked good. But Cop Buddy movies generally aren't my thing. I wouldn't know Kevin Smith had anything to do with this if I didn't already know he was directing it.



I guess I'll wait for the reviews on this one, or DVD or until... something else comes around.



MOSIER!?!

I like Kevin Smith- but this?
I have a feeling that in the future Smith will end up complaining about how this did not turn out to be the film he thought it would be.

WTF K. Smith? This is an embarrassing!!
This is pathetic, I did not chuckle once. This is looks like absolute trash. I always liked Tracy Morgan by my god did he get lucky w/ "30 Rock!" He always seemed that SNL was as far as he should get, but now he's above the title? I hope Mr. Smith is only doing this for a big fat Paycheck because his worst movie is better than this crap. I can't be the only one that thinks this is some...

i don't know... if K Smith wasn't attatched i'd think it looked weak, i still do. And i'm sad that Smiths best stuff, his writing, isn't even in this. I just don't know man. Smith doing a buddy cop movie? The closest thing he has done to action is J&SBSB, which wasn't my cup of tea.

Not all that bad, it is Tracy Morgan who was always good on SNL. I like some of the bit parts Tracy has done over the last few years. This looks 50/50 to me -This would work as one of the 5 features at one of the "dust till dawn" shows at the local Drive In.

I thought his shtick would get old by now but it still has me on the floor.... i'll be it, the only reason that end bit is funny is because he's doing it and has nothing to do with kevin smith or the script, i'm probably still going to see this. Hilarious title change too.
