Ellie DeWitt and Janis Zuckermann are admitted to the very strict FBI Training Academy. They get a hard course, in which they learn to deal with guns and to recognise crimes. They also get a physical training. It appears that Ellie is a real fighting- machine, in contrast with Janis, the great student. They have to help each other, all the way to graduation.

last night I was riding the initial wave of a pretty gnarly panic attack and I needed a comfort food movie. I already watched Real Genius the other day so this was next-up I guess. it has fully turned into one of those 'i don't care that it doesn't make me laugh out loud I just love watching it' movies. complete low stakes nice friends formless no climax hang out movie. it cured my panic attack so it gets bumped up to five stars.
I find it funny that DeMornay’s character was good enough for the Marine Corps but theyre all like “I dunnnnooooo do you have what it takes for the FBI?”
lol gtfo…..I dunno…..does she have what it takes to plant evidence on some poor sap to secure a conviction? lol give me a break.
I know a couple actual FBI Agents. Theyre not what you think….Bunch of loser weirdos who go into Law Enforcement to try and feel tough and attempt to reconcile the fact that they couldnt get a date in High School.
You may be in the FBI now but you’re still a little bitch Greg.
Feds is a prime example of a movie itching to be remade. It remains topical, even more so now than in 88’. Rebecca De Mornay (winning, as always) and Mary Gross play FBI trainees who are consistently hazed and heckled by their overprivileged and overconfident male counterparts, despite consistently making the men look foolish. Maybe this time Hollywood would throw them an actual budget for sets, a score, and a script with scope. Oh, and I’ll take the sequel teased in the closing credits. Please and thank you.
I saw this a bunch as a kid, because it was on TV a lot and I had crushes on the two leads. It never quite gets beyond the level of a big screen sitcom, but De Mornay and Gross have so much warm charisma together. The unquestioning FBI reverence hasn't aged well, but the sweet friendship of the female recruits dealing with the sexism of their male colleagues has. I kind of love how much the "mismatched" buddy friendship is never really a source of conflict, but nearly immediately a "you complete me" situation, and the lack of huge stakes is more relaxing than frustrating. Perhaps Feds is "inessential" but it's very pleasant.
Always in search of a buddy cop film I’ve never seen before, I came across FEDS on a list someone had made of their favorite films in the genre. I saw the trailer and was intrigued enough to give it a shot, and I’m glad I did!
While it isn’t exactly a buddy-cop film by every definition, it still checks a lot of the boxes. Certainly enough to give you the vibe you’re looking for.
Revolving around two women who are going through FBI training, this movie is a surprisingly fun upbeat action comedy. The cast is great and the two leads in particular make a great buddy cop pair of complimentary opposites and are surprisingly funny.
The only problem…
Cute undemanding comedy with the tough ex military Rebecca De Mornay and the bookish Mary Gross joining the FBI Academy, finding it hard going to meet the high standards expected and win any respect from the douche bag male trainees that include smug Ken "Krull" Marshall in their numbers...he does get a deserved and impressive kick in the balls for his troubles. Both women have different qualities to drag each other through the program and besting their male counterparts.
It's charming enough if not particularly funny, though there are a couple of chuckles to be had. Of course the draw here for me is Rebecca De Mornay who looks great, even when stuffing a pizza down her throat...swoon! We can only but dream of being kicked in the balls by someone as stunning as De Mornay. 😍
First revisit solidifies this as a movie that I just know won't work for anyone else as well as it works for me; I love everything about this that would be listed as a negative in other reviews: a general lack of drive, slack plotting, a climax that will have viewers going "oh wait, that was the climax I guess?" and a lack of huge jokes or gags.
This is 100% a hang-out, low-stakes, gets-by-on-charm-and-casting alone movie but what it does is just so firmly in my pocket for what I want out of a movie like this that I can't help but love it. Mary Gross cracks me up here, and the fairly friction-less (comparatively to other movies of…
if you don't know this movie, then i'm so sorry you missed out on the best movie of your childhood (and if you watch it now for the first time, you'll never understand)
last night I demanded that we all take a break from election coverage and watch something easy and comforting. I lobbied pretty hard for KRULL but the wife was like nah that’s two-plus hours and lots of people die. then she said how about that movie where Colwyn’s a douchey FBI agent. I was like what in the hell are you talking about and she said have you never seen FEDS.
anyway FEDS was just the kind of movie I was looking for last night. it’s a relaxed, virtually conflict-free POLICE ACADEMY knockoff about a couple of female FBI trainees. will they excel in their training, overcome their obstacles, and prove themselves to be superior FBI agents? you’ll just have to watch and find out. but yes.
The history of female buddy cop movies is, sadly, not a very long story to tell.
Although Feds is enjoyable, it didn't help the cause when it was released by feeling like half a movie and not really giving itself nearly enough time to fully develop the charming relationship between Rebecca De Mornay and Mary Gross.
De Mornay shows some impressive comedy chops and Gross shows why she was an under-appreciated comedy actor around the peak of her career. They work well together but they're fed a script that does very little of note and doesn't really have any large stakes to work towards. They're just training to be in the FBI and they occasionally run into a crime. That's…
A fun little buddy/ work place comedy. Interesting how you never really see comedies about work places outside of sitcoms these days. Even buddy cop movies are usually restricted to occasionally every few years, I guess the industry is always changing though. This isn’t a perfect movie I didn’t laugh much at all, but it’s harmless and the final 10 minutes or so is a lot of fun.

Feds was a film I watched quite a few times as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s when ITV would routinely screen it, but it seems to be a film that has sunk without trace now. I say seems to be because, despite the middling reviews it got upon its release and its lack of TV broadcasts in recent years, it's clearly been an influential film in terms of subsequent movies such as The Heat and Hot Pursuit.
Produced by Ivan Reitman, written by Len Blum and Daniel Goldberg and directed by Goldberg himself, Feds stars Rebecca De Mornay and Mary Gross as FBI agents in training. It's your standard…
