With the critical and commercial success of the recent Jump Street movies, it's a wonder that there haven't been even more R-rated cop-themed comedies. But Fox is getting in on the action with Let's Be Cops, a movie with a fun premise that doesn't quite deliver on its promise. Sometimes hilarious but mostly only mildly funny, Let's Be Cops will leave you wishing it had gone a little further.
The conceit of the film is simple but fun: Longtime friends Ryan (Jake Johnson) and Justin (Damon Wayons Jr.) don a pair of cop uniforms to attend a masquerade party. The party doesn't go well but upon leaving, they discover that folks look at them differently when they're in uniform.
After basking in the glow of positive attention, the pair eventually finds themselves in a situation where they can use their (fake) badges for actual good, breaking up a shady shakedown of local business owners by henchmen of a bad guy named Mossi (James D'Arcy).

Aug 13, 2014 · To plow recklessly through traffic in the dilapidated police cruiser they score on eBay. To attract the notice, in Justin’s case, of a pretty restaurant hostess named Josie who never gave him the time of day before. Yeah, it’s a lot of fun being a fake cop, they think. And Ryan doesn’t want to stop.
