Review of Cop & ½

Cop & ½ (1993)
2/10
Star and a Half
21 June 2011
Tampa, Florida police detective Burt Reynolds (as Nick McKenna) must partner up with eight-year-old Norman D. Golden II (as Devon Butler) after the latter witnesses a murder. This is the only way the tyke will reveal what he knows. Young Golden gets to be a cop, but also gets in trouble with both bad guys and a couple of his lines. The lad does have more natural hair than either Mr. Reynolds or Ray Sharkey (as Vinnie Fountain). This was, unfortunately, the last appearance of Mr. Sharkey, who scored well in "The Idolmaker" (1980) and memorably on television. With some good camera angles, director Henry Winkler and cinematographer Bill Butler attempt something for the kids, but the stars and script drag it down.
