LET'S BE COPS [2014]

Director Luke Greenfield seems to be drawn to mildly funny comedies with really stupid concepts.
Let's Be Cops joins his preposterous filmography.
Two lost in life adults discover their cop costumes can pass as the real thing so they decide to run with it and get in a bigger mess than they had anticipated.
I like New Girl co-stars Jake Johnson & Damon Wayans Jr. so the film had their comedic chemistry going for it but the only thing missing was the comedy.  There's a stupidly hilarious moment early on but that's mostly due to the song choice to play over the scene and an engaging Lethal Weapon-esque final but apart from that it's pretty much mind-numbingly dull.
