Best pals Ryan and Justin are stalled in their respective careers -- a fact that is painfully driven home when they go to a college reunion. Dressed as police in the mistaken belief that they were to attend a costume party, Ryan and Justin find that the uniforms earn them much respect and attention. Although Justin is uncomfortable with the idea, Ryan decides to continue with the charade, putting them both in increasingly dangerous situations. When these newly-minted “heroes” get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Excellent, smart action film.
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I don't mean to come off harsh but I thought this movie was lame the comedy was sloppy. It was okay at one part but all and all I thought it was lame I liked a few parts but at the end I thought it could have been better. I am into dumb funny movies but this movie was over the top.
I'm not going to lie, the idea of having men pretend to be cops is not hilarious or genius, however the story, the actors and characters completely made it worth it. There was not a minute where I was not laughing. Completely kept me entertained and would watch it many many times.
Two losers attend a masquerade party and thinking it's a costume party, dress up as police officers. This gives them the impetus to act and be like police. From e-bay, they purchase a police car only to meet up with the gang that had damaged their fender earlier.These gang members represent much more of a threat than first determined. They have been shaking down businesses to take them over so that they can launder money through them.There is romance and disagreement between our two friends along the way; they even fool real cops into thinking they're the real deal and soon team up to get the goods on this awful gang.Light fanfare and at least the police are depicted in a positive way.
Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr play two losers who get fake LAPD cop uniforms for a fancy dress party and later get mistaken for real cops. They then continue to pretend to be real cops by learning police procedures via YouTube and buying police equipment on ebay. They hope to benefit from the perks of being real cops.Wayans an unsuccessful video game designer of a Grand Theft Auto variety but focusing on cops figures that the experience might help him with his game design.However they then get entangled with some Albanian crime gang and also crooked cops while all the time keep up the pretence.Johnson and Wayans make a good team but this is an unfunny script and a routine plot. There are a few chuckles but the film overstretched a one note joke.
