Probably not as popular as Lethal Weapon from the same year. But one of my favorite buddy cop movies either way. Dreyfus is especially great and has chemistry with Estevez and Stowe. Character actor Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years) and Forrest Whitaker are also good as the morning Stake Out team. Lauria returns in the sequel but as the captain this time. While Aidan Quinn makes for a good villain as an escaped criminal who the cops hope will show at Stowe's house. The happy ending where Stowe suddenly forgives Dreyfus for being a cop all along. I don't totally buy, still a nice movie though. That is far superior to the sequel.

Re-watching this in 2024 having not seen it for the best part of 20 years was such a thoroughly enjoyable experience! The chemistry between the actors is fantastic, the comedy is on point (sometimes a look is all it takes!) and it's just a feel good romp of a movie. It's got everything that 2024 says you're not allowed to have anymore and it probably makes the film even more enjoyable than it was on release quite frankly! Watch it again, enjoy it for what it is, you won't be disappointed.
