We’ve seen the buddy cop movie done time and time again, and while some my find the formula tired there are occasionally efforts that surprise even the most seasoned moviegoers. LET’S BE COPS does something rather interesting, in that it starts off as a buddy comedy, morphs into an almost anti-cop story, and evolves into a rather serious story. It’s an unusual but effective balance of humor and drama, and in many ways it works quite well. Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. play two buddies with no direction in life, who find fun by pretending to be police officers. They eventually meet and become unexpected buddies with a real cop played by Rob Riggle, who here plays a rather serious role. All three men recently came through Dallas to promote the film, and we got a chance to participate in the press junket, which you can watch below. We even got the honor of kicking off questions from the attending journalists. This conference was also held inside the Cinetransformer, a portable movie theater RV unit that’s actually quite impressive. Check out LET’S BE COPS this week and tell us what you think in the comments.

LET’S BE COPS opens August 13, 2014
