Roger Ebert went to his grave endorsing Cop and a Half. You gotta respect that he stood on his reviews.

I think the main reason why the Siskel-Ebert duo works so well is that they never come across as pretend. They are two very intelligent people who have passionate disagreements and take movies very seriously -- and what is really telling is that Siskel and Ebert were last together more than 25 years ago and yet nobody has been able to find a duo of film critics who were just as good since then. Siskel and Ebert are an art that just cannot be followed.

It's the sort of chemistry you can't replicate. Vastly different temperaments, but they complimented each other. And behind the gibes and the bickering there was obviously a deep, mutual respect.

I took an 18-hour flight across the world and the only movie they had to show was this one, which is only 1 1/2 hours. It was a total stinker and I cannot believe Roger liked it. I have disagreed with him before but saw his point. He was way to enthusiastic about this movie and I cannot see why.

😀 My sons LOVED this movie when they were growing up! 😂😂

Final say: Rottentomatoes: Carnosaur - 18%, Cop and a Half - 13%. So, Siskel wins by the slimmest of margins in the most dubious of ways.

​@@JM-ll2vv Everyone's got them. I have some. Ebert had at least one: Speed 2.

If "Cop and a Half" would have been released while they had their old show it would be for sure the Siskel's "Dog of the Week"... Anyway, one of the most epic moments of this duo and even american television and one of the most out-of-mind moments of Roger Ebert.

Im not picking a favorite critic, cuz thats pointless and not necessary and may color my opinion on movies. I will say the Cop and a Half is very generic, trite, rote, and saccharine. If thats something you want from a movie, fine. Its stupid but you are allowed to like a stupid movie. It doesnt make it good, it can make it popular with the average simple suburban family who seems to buy tickets in droves for this shit. Carnosaur is in that special category I have: Fun But Not Good. Yeah it only appeals to a small audience, but for that audience its kind of original and genuinely entertaining and also fun. It is the superior film simply because they tried to do something kind of weird and they succeeded. I'm glad its not popular. If it were popular it would have been complete mindless garbage. You gotta let yourself enjoy a weird movie, at least once a year. And Carnosaur was definitely that movie. Not popular, but still fun. Cop and a half feels like every other safe cute family movie out there only it starred someone who used to be badass, and would later on have better acting roles like a pervy senator in basically softcore porn, and a sleazy porn producer in a very serious ugly look at the rise of the porn industry in the 70's. Thats acting. Not cute, not sweet, real. And we needed more of that from Burt Reynolds before he died.

Cop and a Half was pretty good

Carnosaur is a movie worthy of MST3K which makes it more fun. Cop and a Half is just a bad kids movel. Bland and boring drivel.
