I like Michael J Fox as an actor and was attracted to check out this movie were he co-stars with James Woods. The plot in this movie has been done a hundred times before, but some parts are fun, if predictable. I must say that this movie is depressingly dull and dismally filmed, and that sort of puts you off from the start, but if you bare with it you'll have a laugh at parts later on. The two guys (Fox and Woods) are desperately on the trail of the 'party pooper' murderer. I personally don't think that the jokes come off too well, again because of the colouring throughout the film. There's also the romantic interest (surprise surprise) with Annabella Scorria who's quite good throughout the movie. You don't have to be a genius to work out the ending of the film, needless to say everyone lives happily ever after. My final thought on this movie is that I think if the screenplay had been brighter and the funny parts more prominant in the movie, it would have made the movie a lot more enjoyable to watch. Instead of that, i'm afraid that this is just another average cop comedy.
