Episodic buddy cop movie that's light on the action and heavy on the comedy. Richard Ng stars as 'Curly' and and John Sham, who was, I think, channeling Larry (Hey, Moe!) to some extent, as 'Beethoven', slacker detective partners. Even back in '84 this had to feel a little familiar with some similar shenanigans happening in movies like ACES GO PLACES (1982); only ACES GO PLACES is weighted more toward action. I liked the comedy/slapstick well enough, but I think our two heroes were a little too hapless, it was way to episodic, there wasn't a strong villain. I want to like this more, but it ain't gonna happen; it just never gelled. I'll revisit it in a couple of years and see how it plays.
