Cop Out is 2010 American comedy film directed by Kevin Smith, written by brothers Mark and Robb Cullen, and starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. The plot revolves around two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card who find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed violent gangster. This is the first film that Smith directed for which he did not write the screenplay. James "Jimmy" Monroe and Paul Hodges are cops working for the NYPD who celebrated their ninth year together as partners. After failing to capture suspect Juan Diaz ... and for causing a disastrous neighborhood shootout and beating up a child, Jimmy and Paul are suspended without pay. Jimmy's daughter Ava is getting married, and the price for the wedding is close to fifty thousand dollars. Though his ex-wife Pam's second husband Roy offers to pay for the wedding, Jimmy is determined to find a way to come up with the money so that Roy will not humiliate him.
