    We lost the suspect, our keys, our car, OUR PANTS!

    Truly a stupid movie, but still enjoyable. Crystal and Hines are both great. Fun Chicago movie. Turns the buddy cop trope on its head by making them best friends instead of adversaries. In the end - amusing but very predictable.

    I said to myself, go ahead. Take a chance. Hire the smart, fat girl.

    Replace the presidents on Mt. Rushmore with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Madonna.
    No, wait, re-do the Godfather with Streep as Brando, Hathaway as Pacino, Tucci as Duvall and Blunt as Caan.

    Give Meryl Streep all the Oscars. She has won 3? She should have 23.
