Bon Cop Bad Cop (2013)

A very good movie that is maybe just tad a little sub-par from the first one, but it yet very funny and awesome.The only negative I have on the movie is with Mariana Mazza. It shows that they wanted to make another funny cameo character like Louis-José Houde in the 1rst film, but that one was badly handled and her part felt to much forced and unfunny.But, still a good movie! 8/10 !!!

Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006): Dir: Eric Canuel / Cast: Colm Feore, Patrick Huard, Sylvain Marcel, Pierre Lebeau, Lucie Laurier: Hilarious cop comedy about background. The result is one of the greatest comedies to come out of Canada. Colm Feore plays Martin Ward, a cop from Toronto and Patrick Huard plays David Bouchard from Quebec. Both are investigating the same crime due to the crime scene jurisdiction. Murder victims feature a tattoo and are involved with hockey. This leads to numerous plot turns interlocked with hilarious dialogue. Director Eric Canuel does a great job shifting humour along with both languages used in the film. Feore plays the straight man by the book but at home he is seen as ordinary even after his attempts to appear hip to his son. Huard is reckless in his actions often causing near death situations yet he has a wife and child. There are a strong host of supporting characters including Ward's sister whom Bouchard is found in bed with after Ward is attacked in his own home. The plot grows even more tense when Bouchard's daughter is kidnapped. Well made crime comedy with tremendous action combined with on target and twisted sense of humour particularly a scene where the two cops accidentally get high. Strong theme regarding language and background result in one of the best and funniest crime comedies of the decade. Score: 10 / 10

It was great, I just can't tell you how much time I laughed with my friends while watching this movie when I rented it. I thought at first it was going to suck (most Canadians movies have let me down...a lot), but it's completely fast paced after the first 5 minutes and the cultural jokes were fantastic! The cultural jokes weren't any supped up Scary Movies ones where you'd only get a 1 second chuckle, they were laugh out louds ones. The story is quite interesting and never feels to fall flat, since it was a detective comedy, I expected it to be very weak in terms of a detective movie, but it was still somewhat strong and kept you interested in the mystery. Also, I don't recall one minute feeling somewhat asleep out of boredom.Unfortunately, I'm someone who lives in Quebec and I'll have to say, most people out of Canada (maybe even out out Quebec) won't fully understand the jokes all too well, which will somewhat bring this movie to a mediocre level in humor, since most jokes are cultural. But never the less, if you're someone who lives in Canada or at least know some pop-culture here, than make no mistake, this should be a must watch.

I was born and raised in Montreal and for one thing, it is a city that is far more diverse with people who are far more funny and intelligent than these caricatures. The humour here is contrived and most of the comic scenes are designed for 12 year olds. The whole thing seems to be a glossy TV production for tourists or for language students who should be introduced to the french-Canadian lingo and the rivalry between Quebec and Ontario. Thus the jokes are unintelligible to someone outside Canada and too cliché for those who are Canadian. The hostility shown by people towards the 'other' province in this movie isn't funny and it really does not reflect anything close to reality since Canada is known for its tolerant society. Most people in Montreal do understand English and more than 1/3 of them are anglophones! (Yes, French Canadians are not the only inhabitants of Montreal) while the name Bouchard is very standard and recognizable throughout the country. Nothing noteworthy as far as direction and photography either. I would classify this movie as very light entertainment.
