My Review- 

This movie seems more like a indie drama, then a comedy. However do not get me wrong Dax Shepard is not that bad of a writer, I believe it was how it was acted through his script, some scenes were better than others well other scenes did not need to be in the film. One scene that did not need to be in the film was the full frontal nudity of an old man. Some of the best scenes were just between Bell and Shepard, yes I know they are dating but their love for each other comes out through their characters, some other good scenes were between these two cops who would come in every now and then. One major problem I had with the movie, well two; Tom Arnold as a really annoying as the accident prone U.S. Marshall, to Shepard's character whose in witness protection from Bradley Cooper for testifying against him. Ironically Dax Shepard's name in the movie is Charlie Bronson (named after the famous prisoner who named himself after the famous actor), and Tom Arnold is the most unbelievable U.S. Marshall ever, the other problem was Bradley Cooper in dreadlocks. That has to be the worst wig ever in a movie in my opinion, the dreads were not need and it could have been a little better for his character. There were some things That I liked about this movie; the music was really good when it was used, such as; Aerosmith and a few others that I cannot remember. Once again this movie was not that bad, what made this movie really watchable was the dialogue, and it's usually when the actors are just sitting around talking and not really doing anything. I read somewhere that Dax Shepard did his own driving and if he really did that was some pretty damn good driving. The driving stunts were something out of the old school car chase movies with Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" playing in the background. The Highlight of this movie was the surprise cameo from Jason Bateman at the end, where when I saw him I started to clap, that's how awesome that man is. This movie is something you wait for to be released on DVD and not to be watched in theaters. This movie could have worked way better as a drama/comedy, and not a comedy with drama sprinkled here and there.
