The main part of the story doesn't start till near the end of the film (0 more)
This is very watchable and it does have the gorgeous and super talented (in my opinion!) Gyllenhall in, so bonus points there from the start.
However, the majority of the film is built around showing you the relationship between the two cops, them riding around, sharing jokes, introducing girlfriends, responding to calls etc. This makes it a bit aimless and I was wondering when the real story was going to start. When it does it's over in a flash which makes it seem like the main crux of the story is an afterthought.
I liked the film and it did give a good insight into the danger the police face on a daily basis but I would've liked less padding out and more time spent on the drug cartel story.

I'm afraid this beats the TV series hands down....
Absolutely brilliant. This has the same characters as the TV series, but that's about where the similarities end! The storyline is an extravaganza of violence, sex, drugs, alcohol and blasphemy! Cassidy is still one of the best characters in the story though, The TV series definitely kept his quirkiness (thankfully).
This isn't for the faint hearted, and those who are very religious may not like it much either. God has done a bunk and The Preacher, who has been possessed by Genesis, has gone looking for him. We meet corrupt, ineffective cops, gangsters, a Saint of Killers, angels, serial killers, and the most dysfunctional family I've ever had the pleasure to read about!! And all in volume one! What on earth will they have to offer us in volume two? Id better get saving my pennies to buy it!

If you were to look up the phrase "fish out of water movie", this film would have to be one of the top movies on the list.

After a Detroit police's officer's friend is murdered, he relocates himself to Beverly Hills, California to investigate only to discover law enforcement operates under quite different principles out there.

Alhough Eddie Murphy had made both "48 Hours" & "Trading Places" before this film was released in 1984, this one was definitely his breakout hit.

His crass, foul demeanor juxtaposed against the prim and proper by-the-book procedureness of the CA cops lent itself to many hilarious and memorable moments. His partners Judge Reinhold and John Ashton worked extremely well with Murphy who had really come into his own as a leading man comic actor for this role.

Still one of my all-time favorite comedies.
