So glad I stumbled onto this place on another site and to see familiar names/faces. Better spread the word so we can find other survivors. Hopefully the person(s) responsible for destroying our previous home will get their day of reckoning.
Anyway, a lot of critics hate this movie, but I actually think it's harmless family fluff. Burt Reynolds looks like he'd rather be elsewhere, but he does a serviceable job playing a crusty detective. Norman D. Golden III is actually not a bad kid for the lead role with some natural charm. Hard to believe Henry "The Fonz" Winkler directed this movie.
Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
Cop and 1/2 (1993) - BOMB out of 4 stars
"And a hemorrhoid-and-a-half to anyone who sits all the way through it. Circumstances (read: scriptwriter's contrivance) dictate that a cop-addicted black kid become the new partner of a white detective who's trying to crack a drug punk. Abjectly painful comedy. Low point: a urination bonding scene with Reynolds in which the youngster wants to "make swords ".
