Freebie and the Bean

The story is pretty weak and yeah, there are definitely some non-PC things in here that might bother most modern viewers, but the sole reason to watch FREEBIE AND THE BEAN is the chemistry between Alan Arkin and James Caan. The two play a mismatched, violent, incompetent pair of cops whose incessant arguing is nevertheless tempered by strong affection. They are so much fun to watch, even in scenes where they're doing nothing-- which isn't often in this borderline slapstick comedy of a film.
