Cop Out (2010) **1/2

Cop Out (2010) has a reputation for being mostly reviled, but despite that, despite Kevin Smith and Bruce Willis having beef on set, and despite it being a fairly generic buddy cop outing, I still enjoyed it and I laughed a bunch. I realize that might be damning it with faint praise, but I was honestly expecting CO to be much worse and I'm not really sure I quite understand the hate toward the film. I'm not saying it's a film I would revisit often, but as a Smith (a director I don't expect masterpieces from) version of 48 Hrs. (1982) or Lethal Weapon (1987), it works just fine.
