NOT a cop movie. All those wanting to see a cop movie walk on by.

This is one heack of a charming, SLOWburning romantic comedy though, with lots of tongue in cheek jokes.

The good: excellent supporting actors, among which Harvey Keitel and John Turturro, who truly act brilliantly! Hilarious.

More good: Judge Rheinhold. I have been a fan of this actor from his early acting days (Beverly Hills Cop). Judge Rheinhold doesnt have to say anything to be funny, he simply has to look puzzled. And puzzled he is in this mixed up story.

The story: Judge Rheinhold is a total looser working a dead end job in a basement in a library. BUT he has got a cop friend, whose identity he takes over, with hilarious (and romantic) results.

Lots of charming tongue in cheek jokes (not laugh out loud funny). Lots of budding romance. One heck of a lovely romantic "cop" comedy.

Definitely a forgotten eighties gem. I have been looking for years for this very movie. I couldnt find it anywhere. And to my surprise it can be seen for free on Youtube! What a joy!
