Let’s Be Cops LET’S BE COPS is the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: they're not cops. When two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party, they become neighborhood sensations. But when these newly minted “heroes” get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line. These fake cops have just found some real trouble.

Justin Miller (Damon Wayans, Jr.) and Ryan O’Malley (Jake Johnson) have been languishing since their school days ended.

Justin toils at a videogame company, where his bosses prefer zombie antics instead of Justin’s recent game proposal that features real-life cops. Ryan, still reveling in his glory days as a college quarterback, bounces from job to job – his appearance in a herpes drug commercial was a career highlight – without success.

A wrongheaded visit to a masquerade party changes everything. Thinking it is a costume bash, Justin and Ryan sport LAPD uniforms Justin had used in his recent videogame pitch. After being laughed out of the black tie party, they notice something has changed as they walk down the streets of Hollywood: women swarm them, bad guys follow their every command and bartenders give them drinks on the house, all because they are mistaken for cops. For Ryan, this is the ultimate high, though the shy Justin is less enthusiastic at the prospect of real police busting them. Soon, Ryan has purchased a police car (off eBay!), lights and a radio scanner – and the boys are rolling up to real 911 calls.

Wearing a police badge has also done wonders for Justin’s love life, as waitress Josie (Nina Dobrev) begins to warm up to him at a modest restaurant the guys frequent. But their street hubris runs afoul

of Euro-mobster Mossi Devic (James D’Arcy) and his pack of thugs, leading Devic to target the two “officers” for extermination.

Real LAPD personnel have also noticed Justin and Ryan on the streets. Straight arrow Officer Segars (Rob Riggle) salutes Ryan’s fake sergeant stripes, while hardedged superior Detective Brolin (Andy Garcia) puts the pair on his own radar.

By the time Justin and Ryan stumble into a dangerously complicated game of cat and mouse where mobsters and bad cops are the featured players, our two heroes are in way over their heads…and trying feverishly to keep them attached.

The idea for LET’S BE COPS was born when director/co-writer Luke Greenfield decided to spend Halloween in a police officer’s uniform – a choice that had unexpected consequences.

“My costume designer at the time got me a real LAPD uniform and my buddy and I walked around Los Angeles,” Greenfield remembers. “The sense of power and authority was incredible. I was single at the time, and it became quite easy to talk to women on the street.”

With co-writer and executive producer Nicholas Thomas, Greenfield developed the pitch that was to become LET’S BE COPS. “We came up with the idea quite quickly,” says Thomas. “We pitched the project to 20th Century Fox, and it sold.”

“The two lead characters have no money and their self-worth is gone,” says Greenfield. “Then, all of a sudden, they are street heroes. Their fun masquerade escalates to the point where it starts getting dangerous and they mess with the wrong people.”

The two writers created the two principal characters somewhat in their own images.

“Justin is me,” says Greenfield. “He’s passionate about what he creates in the videogame world, as I am about my motion picture projects. Only he’s afraid to be direct and authoritative. Ryan is sort of based on Nick Thomas. He is more outspoken and braver, and more likely to get us both into hot water.”

The first thing the filmmakers did after getting the production green light was cast the lead characters, Justin and Ryan. They chose two comic actors who were actually close pals.

“Damon and Jake are close friends, big fans of one another’s work and had been dying to do a film together,” Greenfield adds. “Casting them was incredible luck, because throughout production they were always off in a corner, laughing and joking just like their characters. The characters audiences will see on screen are very close to who Damon and Jake really are. It was fantastic.”

“Jake and I get along so well that we bring a lot of our own relationship to the movie,” says Damon Wayans, Jr. “Justin and Ryan are like brothers, or like a married couple who fight and make up. Jake and I work so well together because we get along really well off camera. We are always doing bits and have a similar sense of humor. It helped that we were free to explore and improvise.”

Jake Johnson was thrilled to be cast along with his close pal. “Damon and I had done the ‘New Girl’ [television series] pilot together and we got along great,” says Johnson, who’s now before the cameras in “Jurassic World.” “We made a pact that we were going to do something together. He is truly one of the reasons I did this film.”

During pre-production, Greenfield encouraged both actors to get some police training, but to avoid a boot camp-like, ultra-realistic experience. “I wanted them to know just enough about being police officers to get by, just like their characters,” says the director. “They went on a ride-along with police and learned how to fire a gun. Damon is pretty athletic and he became a very good shot. Jake went out with our police advisor and fired shotguns and pistols, while Rob Riggle, who is a former Marine, already knew how to handle weaponry.”

The actors spent a lot of time under the supervision of ace stunt coordinator Steven Ritzi (“Prisoners,” “12 Years a Slave”) to ensure that the film’s pratfalls and gunplay were as realistic – and/or funny – as possible.

One of the film’s memorable action scenes sees Johnson, Wayans and Riggle responding to a police call at a hardware store in the middle of the night. There, the faux cops Justin and Ryan have a run-in with a 350-pound Samoan burglar running amok – wearing nothing but a fierce grin.

“This guy is running at me butt naked,” says Wayans. “I take him down but he lands right on top of me and is climbing all over, putting his behind right in my face.

Let me tell you, I took a long shower after that scene.”

But with all the crazy stunts and action, the most important component of LET’S BE COPS is the close relationship between Justin and Ryan, lifetime buddies who may bicker non-stop, but always have each other’s backs.

“Audiences will be pulling for Ryan and

Justin,” says Johnson. “Ryan is crazier and more spontaneous than Justin, who is more grounded. Together they are a perfect yin and yang, bringing out the best in one another.”

Wayans agrees. “These guys fight like brothers, and then they make up like brothers. It is their friendship that stood out for me and made me want to do this movie. Luke Greenfield also saw that this film walked a fine line between comedy and action, and he was always great in blending the two while Jake and I ran around, crazily.”

Keeping the guys in (the thin blue) line is Officer Segars, played by comedy veteran Rob Riggle (“21 Jump Street”), a straightarrow cop who forms an unexpected alliance with the two fake ones. “Segars is a sincere police officer who’s just trying to serve and protect,” says Riggle.

Segars may be the polar opposite to the two jokers pretending to be cops, but when it gets all-too-real for the fake boys in blue, Seagers actually comes to admire Justin and Ryan. “They’re not cops and probably not even good citizens,” says Riggle, “but when they get involved in some real serious stuff, and have to make the choice to either walk away or get involved, they go all in, and Segars goes all in with them. It’s a good moment.”

Another unexpected ally to Justin and Ryan is Pupa, a Dominican gangbanger with dreadlocks and gangster tats. Pupa, portrayed by Keegan-Michael Key, is a henchman to a crime lord, who is captured and interrogated and “water boarded” by the inept wannabe cops. “Yeah, they tie Pupa to an ironing board and try and water board him in a sink!,” says Key. •

CORE FILM

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes Review by Rachel Salveta Just three years ago, the summer blockbuster that everyone was talking about was 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' in which we were taken back to the very beginnings of the main ape, Caeser. In that movie we saw him being raised by humans and eventually being taken away to live in confinement with the other apes and this was just the beginning of an even greater story. Now, three years on, the story continues in 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes'. Directed by Matt Reeves, this movie packs even more punch with plenty of action and another level of special effects.

Set ten years later, 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' sees Caeser leading a growing nation of genetically evolved apes after most humans have been wiped out by a devastating virus. However just when the apes thought they were safe from human interference, a small group of survivors

show themselves, however it is not war that they are after, merely peace and a chance to find other human survivors, but when the apes find out that they have breached their trust, a war is what they get.

Although filled with fantastic special effects, the movie is not without sentiment and emotional value. Like the movie before, it is sure to pull at your heart strings and almost make you forget that these creatures aren't real and the credit there would definitely go to the humans behind the apes. Andy Serkis once again pulls off a great performance as Caeser, however we know he is no stranger to playing creatures, being best known for his role as Gollum from the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy.

From the 'Planet of the Apes' movie of 1968, it's amazing to see how far technology has come. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a must see movie experience.

Reduce that shortfall...

Recent research by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has revealed that 11.9 million people are still underfunding for retirement, meaning they are not on track to meet their target to provide an adequate income in their old age, despite measures like workplace pension auto-enrolment recently introduced. Middle income earners are the worst under savers. The DWP estimates there will be around 4.5 million under savers earning between £32,500 and £52,000 when the flat rate stare pension comes in compared to 1.1 million earing over £52,000 and around 1.8 million earning between £12,300 and £22,700.

sustenance level of benefit designed for basic needs only, and you only have to ask anyone living off this level of income what sort of lifestyle this offers. So while you are earning now, consider how much income you will require in retirement by applying a few simple calculations, such as how many years is it until I reach my desired retirement age? What is your current gross income? What is the projected increase in my income between now and retirement?

What will my final year’s earnings be?

Having completed these simple tasks, you will have an idea of the level of future income earned in that final year before retirement takes place.

Considering the new flexibility introduced in the last budget, with more positive changes to be implemented in April next year allowing more access to pension pot’s at retirement, I find the figures staggering.

When advising individuals on a regular basis, retirement planning for some reason appears to be low on the list of priorities, which is understandable given the strains on income at present. However, by investing regular modest amounts on a regular basis, the long-term benefit of compounding returns will go some way to reducing any shortfall when the time comes to stop work.

Now assume all loans such as mortgages etc. are fully repaid as well as a reduction in other costs such as those incurred for children, and you will have a pretty good idea of the minimum future income level you require. Also think lifestyle, what holiday’s will I desire, what hobbies I will pursue and how much income this will require.

Try the pension’s shortfall calculator at www.tommunro.co.uk and see the additional amounts you would have to set aside each month.

Remember the state pension is a mere
