Storyline
LAPD Detective Sergeant Mitch Preston cares only about doing his job and nailing crooks. LAPD Patrol Officer Trey Sellars joined the force as a day job until his acting career took off. During an undercover drug buy Mitch was working that Trey botched by calling in for backup and drawing media attention, Mitch's partner is shot with a very exotic 12-gauge automatic weapon; Mitch then shoots the video camera out of the hands of a reporter filming the action when the cameraman refused to shut it down. Faced with a $10 million lawsuit, the department agrees to let producer Chase Renzi film Mitch's investigation for a new reality TV show, and constantly tries to make everything more "viewer friendly" by changing everything about Mitch's life to fit the stereotypical view of police officers—and partners him with Trey.

    DeNiro and Murphy–what else do you want?
    A professionally crafted and admittedly hokey movie that doesn’t take itself seriously. Robert DeNiro is still expanding his comic talents while Murphy is actually better than in his Dr.Doolittle sequel. I found the movie entertaining and worth the price of admission, which few movies seem to meet up to these days. No one who sees this should expect a deep story line, social value, or anything beyond just being entertained for a little over an hour.
