After witnessing his partner being shot and killed, a police officer named "Hank Rafferty" (Steve Zahn) is then wrongfully accused of being too rough on a black citizen by the name of "Earl Montgomery" (Martin Lawrence). Because of this he is terminated and has to accept employment as a security guard. Then, as luck would have it, he finds himself teamed up with another security guard who just happens to be--Earl Montgomery. Needless to say, he is not happy with this at all. Even so, he is determined to apprehend those responsible for the murder of his partner and, as a result, he has no other choice other than to allow Earl to tag along. Now, rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, I will just say that, while this clearly wasn't the funniest movie ever made, I thought it was enjoyable enough for the most part. That said, however, I should probably mention that some of the scenes had a certain racial component that some people might find offensive. Quite frankly, I believe that these off-color scenes were never intended to be taken seriously and it is what gives this comedy its flavor. In any case, I found this movie to be worth the time spent watching and I rate it as slightly above average.
