Having worked on "New Girl" already together, it's not surprising the on-screen chemistry between best friends Ryan (Jake Johnson) and Justin (Damon Wayans, Jr.) is pretty decent. And while there are a couple of big laughs, mostly at Justin's expense, the script is overly simple and long at the same time, so it felt like it overstayed its welcome.

Probably a redbox rental at best if you're bored.

I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.

I liked this pretty well. I WAS a little taken aback when I saw the run-time; by the trailer it seemed like an 86-minute or less flick. I think it could've benefited from a shorter and more over-the-top/silly final act. But it was still worth the ride, IMO. It had plenty of good laughs that weren't spoiled by the trailer, and some really funny satirical gags related to cop flicks throughout. Will pick it up on blu, but will wait when it gets to the cheaper side.
