Dale, Kurt and Nick decide to start their own business but things don't go as planned because of a slick investor, prompting the trio to pull off a harebrained and misguided kidnapping scheme.
It's the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: they're not cops. When two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party, they become neighborhood sensations. But 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.Written by

While not all officers in a department will know every other officer, it is highly likely that all officers will know the officers, especially supervisors (Sgt), in the same division, especially when working the same shift, so it would be highly unusual for the real officers to not know the pretend officer and Sgt. weren't real.

Goofs
When Mossi pumps his shotgun, we hear a spent metal bullet casing hit the floor, not the mostly plastic shotgun cartridge seen ejecting from the gun, which would have a distinctly different sound. See more »

When I saw the trailer I was reluctant about seeing this movie. I was afraid it was a standard popular American comedy in which absurdity-comedy was the focus, like most stand-up comedians and Southpark. The movie does include these kind of jokes, but because of the sequence of jokes and the "story" (as in standard rom-com "story") I found the movie to be very funny. But then again it is difficult to make a movie which everybody thinks is funny, for example I think the Achorman 1 was the most hilarious movie ever but the sequel I thought was terrible. So I think you will either love or hate this movie depending on your sense of humor.
