One of the best parts of this genre is that they often feature well-loved actors who end up having amazing chemistry that you can feel off-screen. Some of our favorite cop comedy movies with iconic duos include:
- Bad Company: A small-time criminal (Chris Rock) must impersonate his twin brother and team up with a respected CIA spy (Anthony Hopkins) to finish the case his twin brother was on before he died.
- 21 Jump Street: Adapted from the classic 80's TV show, a pair of underachieving cops are sent back to high school, posing as students to bring down a synthetic drug ring. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill make the perfect comedic pairing.
- The Heat: Partnered together to take down a ruthless drug lord, an uptight FBI Special Agent must get along with a foul-mouthed Boston cop. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy give a hilarious performance in this policy movie with comedy at the heart.
- Let's Be Cops: Two friends (the infamous Damon Wayans Jr. and New Girl's Jake Johnson) dress as cops for a costume party and become entangled in the world of mobsters and dirty detectives, quickly finding themselves way over their heads.
- Ride Along: A security guard must prove himself to his girlfriend's brother, the top police officer, as he rides along on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta. Ice Cube and Kevin Hart make for a comedic pair that will keep you laughing from start to finish.
