In New York City, two cops, Gunther Toody (David Johansen) and Francis Muldoon (John C. McGinley), are tasked with guarding Herbert Hortz (Jeremy Piven). A witness who's due to testify in an organized crime case, Hortz has damning information about mobster Don Motti (Daniel Baldwin). In this film inspired by the 1960s television series, Toody and Muldoon are polar opposites -- one is a wild man, the other follows all the rules -- who end up in several tense, if extremely goofy, situations.

If you have any inexplicable desire to see Car 54, take this advice: wait for its imminent release on video, and then consider renting something else instead.

Rated: 1/4

Some movies are so bad they warrant special attention. "Car 54, Where Are You" is one of them.

Thanks to a relentlessly terrible script by many hands, it's a dumb movie about dumb cops that should have remained on the shelf, where it's been sitting for over two years.

Loved it! Maybe cause I'm 60 and Brooklyn roots..but all all you stuffed shoits...fugghetaboudit! What's not to like...some funny one liners..loved the cast! I remember Nipsey in the original show working the call desk...now he's promoted to Captain! Dat's great! Johansen is so funny as a Brooklyn beat cop back when cops still walked a beat and knew the neighborhood. My polish background loved his interview with shop keeper.."Mrs.Pierogi" and Rosie cracked me up as the jealous wise cracking Jersey type cop wife! Car 54 where are you? Parked at toidy toid and my funny bone! Ha! Maybe now it will get a 1 By the tomatometer maid!
