Our take
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is a loud cop comedy: guns to heads, shootings, and constant f-word language. Expect cocaine and ecstasy talk, a prostitute gag, and some racism named out loud. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
After their late former Captain is framed, Lowrey and Burnett try to clear his name, only to end up on the run themselves.

Talk after watching
- The jokes sit on top of real guns. Did that make the danger feel smaller?
- Partners keep covering for each other. When is that loyalty and when is it a mess?
- Racism is named. Did the film take it seriously or shrug?
