Trapped in a sitcom sensibility, the film never makes the vital connection with the audience that's necessary to spawn a hit.

A very underrated Chevy Chase comedy.

Chase cakewalks through the same role he's been playing for the past 10 or so years.
01/01/00
Chevy Chase is lucky Cops and Robbersons isn't a sitcom. If it were, it would be canceled as pronto as his talk show was.

Top CriticChase, as I've already noted, is stuck with a character who goes nowhere, dooming him from the start.
