Someone thought it would be a great idea to shoot a movie about the making of Clerks – which was a film another guy made about his mundane life that became a monster cult favorite. Then they got the guy who made that film to narrate theirs. Isn’t life strange and wonderful? Or at least strange?

Cop Out had all the makings of a box office action/comedy hit when it was released into theaters back in February. It starred action movie veteran Bruce Willis and the very comedic Tracy Morgan and had Kevin Smith in the production mix as director and editor. In Cop Out, Officers Jimmy Monroe (Bruce Willis) and Paul Hodges (Tracy Morgan) are a pair of bickering-but-got-your-back Brooklyn buddy cops on the hunt for a stolen 1952 mint-condition baseball card (Jimmy needs it to fund his daughter’s wedding), a hunt plunging them into a gunslinging war with a deadly drug ring.
