Tracy Morgan can’t even talk correctly and has a very annoying voice.

I can see where the clip doesnâ€™t deserve a hilarity award but Kevin Smith has mentioned numerous times that he doesnâ€™t like to amp up the trailers to his films with a lot of jokes. Mainly because he doesnâ€™t like seeing the entire plot of a movie he wants to see described in the preview or most of if not all the jokes.

When I saw this for the first time at Sherlock Holmes; my friend thinks that this film is targeted to a much broader audience due to the fact that Morgan carried the trailer. I believe he carried it on a crutch if anything. I laughed; I grumbled but I get it. Tracy Morgan is becoming a larger actor and the theory from my friend was that he thinks itâ€™s targeted â€œacross other racesâ€. Since I’m assuming most of other cop based comedies are strictly white? No. Just his theory. Now that may come off as an odd statement but coming from him and who he is to me as a friendâ€¦ I canâ€™t I disagree. Does this mean white people donâ€™t think Tracy Morgan is funny? Of course not and thatâ€™s ridiculous. Regardless of theories and how the first glimpse into Cop Out panned out; I think this will be another dialogue heavy comedy which in the end Iâ€™ll enjoy spending 9 bucks to see.

Orâ€¦ Iâ€™m just overly curious to see how Smith does as a director.

I’m a massive Kevin Smith fan. I only really like Clerks, Chasing Amy and Clerks 2 but him as a guy I really respect. I listen to SModcast religiously and hearing him talk about this movie gives me faith.
I’ll admit that the trailer didn’t make me do backflips or anything and that shot of Morgan laughing obnoxiously made me cringe but it does look like it has promise.

I don’t know – I was liking the trailer when the action was going down. The Seann William Scott stuff looks cool.

I usually hate comedy anyway, I’ll still watch it out of respect to Kevin.

I think some of you are just showing off and not really saying your opinions. This trailer did look funny, even though a bit overdone too.

Rush Hour 1 was fucking funny. This looks like its trying a little to hard.

I don’t watch 30 Rock, so I wouldn’t know of his comedic talents there. Also, my reference to him being a 3rd rate Chris Tucker is ofcourse in relation to this movie looking like a 3rd rate Rush Hour – Morgan is just horribly unfunny. I haven’t watched any of Tuckers other movies, so I wouldn’t know if they’re any good.

Tracy Morgan is amazing, I’ve liked his stand up and I love him on 30 Rock. Add that to my enjoyment of Kevin Smith, even if he didn’t write it, and I will give this a chance. I read this was originally supposed to be the Will Farrell/Mark Wahlberg cop vehicle.

Oh God Goon Tucker completely destroyed Fifth Element. I had some big ass hate for him after that. I did like him in Rush Hour though.
Morgan on the other hand works well in 30 Rock but other than that I think he’s a really limited comedian.
And it looked like Smith finally had the balls to move the camera now.

“This Tracy Morgan fella is like a 3rd rate Chris Tucker. ”

Tucker is fine in Fifth ELement and his brief time in Jackie Brown, but otherwise he’s shit. Take a look at his filmography – he can’t even get hired he’s so one note. Tracy kills him in every way.
