      Tee K This is prime Chevy ain't the guy" What a waste waste of Diane Wiests talents Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/23 Full Review Audience Member What the **** were they thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Not good for much else but nostalgia. A Frankensteined plot of other plots from the past 5 years with stars that even in 1994 were fading in relevance Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Had some cringe worthy moments and the actors didn’t have great chemistry. I’d be lying though if I said I didn’t enjoy aspects of it. Just misses a recommendation from me Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/20 Full Review Audience Member Underrated light comedy. Nothing serious only some good laugh. Jack Palance is really funny. Recommended. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Chevy Chase is an aspiring detective who allows law enforcement to conduct a stakeout inside his home to solve a crime in which a neighbor is the lead suspect. Palance cashes in on his City slickers fame. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/28/17 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Leonard Klady Variety Trapped in a sitcom sensibility, the film never makes the vital connection with the audience that's necessary to spawn a hit. Jun 30, 2008 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Chevy Chase returns to the anonymous, unmemorable suburban mode that made his earlier movies profitable. And guess what? The results are anonymous and unmemorable. Jun 30, 2008 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ‘…weak sauce compared to previous Chase/Ritchie collaborations like Fletch and Fletch Lives, but it’s still worth the watch for fans… Rated: 3/5 Jan 7, 2024 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant Cops and Robbersons bounces mindlessly along like a bright and zany pilot for a sitcom aimed at reviving the flagging career of Chevy Chase and capitalizing on the new Jack Palance cult. Rated: 1.5/5 Apr 4, 2018 Full Review TV Guide Not nearly as bad as its critical reception suggested. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 30, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
