| Movie DescriptionJames "Jimmy" Monroe (Bruce Willis) and Paul Hodges (Tracy Morgan), cops working for the NYPD, are celebrating their ninth year as partners. After failing to capture Juan Diaz and for causing a neighborhood shootout and beating up a kid, a heartless police captain suspends them without pay refusing to care about Jim's feelings for his daughter's wedding. Jimmy's daughter Ava (Michelle Trachtenberg) is getting married, and the price for the wedding is close to fifty thousand dollars. Though his ex-wife's second husband Roy (Jason Lee) offers to pay for the wedding, Jimmy is determined to find a way to come up with the money so that Roy won't humiliate him. Paul is worried that his wife is cheating on him, so he sets up a video camera in a teddy bear. While Jimmy is selling a 1952 Andy Pafko baseball card to pay for the wedding, Paul is calling his wife. Jimmy is robbed by Dave (Sean William Scott), who steals his card and Paul's favourite gun. They find out that Dave is going to rob a house that night, so they stake out the house to retrieve the card and gun. Jimmy arrests Dave and discovers he has sold the card and gun for drugs.
Jimmy previews the tape from Paul's hidden camera and tells Paul there's nothing on it. They go to the dealer, Poh Boy (Guillermo Díaz), who tells them they may have the card if they retrieve a stolen car. When they find the car, they discover a woman named Gabriela (Ana de la Reguera) in the trunk. Paul then sees the tape from his hidden camera and is heartbroken when he sees that Jimmy has lied: his wife is with another man in their bedroom. Gabriela reveals that she's the wife of a murdered drug lord who was kidnapped by Poh Boy's gang. Not wanting to get Jimmy and Paul hurt, she flees, leaving them a flashdrive concealed in a cross, which contains information about offshore bank accounts. Jimmy and Paul pay Dave's bail so that he may retrieve the card and gun, but he falls out of a tree and apparently dies. Jimmy goes in to retrieve the card, but is surrounded by the gang. At the same time, Paul learns that his wife is not cheating on him after all: she has played a trick on him for hiding the camera in their bedroom. After killing most of the gang, Paul and Jimmy find Poh Boy holding Gabriela at gunpoint. They shoot him dead, but Paul's bullet goes through the head of the baseball player on Jimmy's card, which is hidden in Poh Boy's shirt pocket. Pleased with the duo's investigation and assisting two colleagues who were caught in the shootout, the precinct chief restores Jimmy and Paul to active duty and gives them commendations.... |
