LIGHTS. CAMERA. AGGRAVATION.
Veteran detective Mitch Preston (Robert De Niro) is forced to participate in a new reality show along with another cop (Eddie Murphy) who would rather be an actor. This loud comedy starts off by making fun of the clichĆ©s that are common in cop movies ā and then goes on to embrace them fully. That would have been OK if only the movie was funnier. Spoofing reality shows within the context of a cop movie is a good idea, but not much comes out of it. The stars are alright, but Shatner tops them reliving the glory days of T.J. Hooker.Ā
