Where to Watch Cop & ½
- Tyler SMarch 21, 2026Loved this one as a kid, watched it many times. Happy to say that even though grown me could clearly see it's flaws my 8 year old niece had a great time. It was cute when it ended, she looked at me and said I want to be a cop. This movie also provides one of the most entertaining segments on Siskel & Ebert, that argument is legendary and Gene would jab Roger for years after that episode about his positive review. (For the record I side with Ebert all the way) 👍 6.5/10
