Cop Out -- Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan, Guillermo Diaz. Rated R.
Partners Jimmy (Willis) and Paul (Morgan) try to get Jimmy’s rare baseball card back from a Mexican drug lord (Diaz) in this labored and awful comedy. Morgan plays his character as a petulant baby, and you will immediately want to punch him in the face. This is the first film Kevin Smith (“Clerks”) has directed that he hasn’t also written, and it shows. At no point is the script sharp, clever, funny, witty, amusing, inspired or original. What a disaster. Skip It.
The Runaways -- Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Michael Shannon. Rated R.
The movie: Musical biopic about the ‘70s all-girl teen rock band The Runaways, which started the careers of Joan Jett (Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Fanning). Stewart and Fanning are good, as is Shannon (“Revolutionary Road”) as their eccentric producer, but the uneven story makes the movie feel inauthentic. Skip It.
