LAPD Detective Sergeant Mitch Preston cares only about doing his job and nailing crooks. LAPD Patrol Officer Trey Sellars joined the force as a day job until his acting career took off. During an undercover drug buy Mitch was working that Trey botched by calling in for backup and drawing media attention, Mitch's partner is shot with a very exotic 12-gauge automatic weapon; Mitch then shoots the video camera out of the hands of a reporter filming the action when the cameraman refused to shut it down. Faced with a $10 million lawsuit, the department agrees to let producer Chase Renzi film Mitch's investigation for a new reality TV show, and constantly tries to make everything more "viewer friendly" by changing everything about Mitch's life to fit the stereotypical view of police officers--and partners him with Trey.
Leave your thoughts about Showtime.
| 3BlackChicks ReviewKamal 'The Diva' LarsuelShowtime was right on time. I needed the laugh. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonAre we supposed to take an almost entirely unironically clichéd reluctant- buddy- cop action movie as some sort of mockery of clichéd reluctant- buddy- cop action movies? |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt... the script for Showtime, which was rushed into production to avoid last year's anticipated actors' strike, is so achingly generic it can't even score points off as easy a target as Shatner. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasFrom frame one Showtime displays an ingenuity, cleverness and briskness that never flags. |
| Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)Audrey Rock-RichardsonShowtime is one of the hapless victims of the arrogant "if we put together a wry white man and a chatty black man and give them guns, the movie will be funny" syndrome. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldIt's getting hard not to think of De Niro as anything but a dead-pan comedian. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowA funny movie for adults and older teens. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenShatner is probably the funniest person in the film, which gives you an idea just how bad it was. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesIt asks nothing of the audience other than to sit back and enjoy a couple of great actors hamming it up. |
| New Times (L.A.)Andy KleinIt's hard not to warm to a film that features William Shatner (playing himself) looking at De Niro's character and complaining about what a lousy actor he is. |
