BON COP/BAD COP

I am from Montreal, and so I think to truly appreciate the humour and irony in this movie, it helps to be a Quebecer, but most of the world has heard of the rivalry between the French and the English in Canada, so the jokes will not be wasted on any audience. A man is murdered directly on the border between Ontario and Quebec, so in order to satisfy both jurisdictions, a cop from each province is assigned to work together to solve the case. They are both bilingual but rant and rave best in their own language, and the assignment to work together has both ranting and raving quite a bit. The jokes are original, and it’s great how each points out the lunacy in the other’s language and style, making it equally funny for both Anglos and Francophones. Even if you’re not from Canada, this movie will tickle your funny bone, because it’s an entirely new way of watching a homicide investigation.
