An adequately wacky cops-and-robbers caper. Sharp dialogue and good chemistry between the actors make up for its routine plot twists.

A mature human farce that values characters' foibles over their firearms.

Dreyfuss and his style are the two best things in "Stakeout," a movie that consists of a good idea surrounded by a bad one.
January 29, 2003
One of the better buddy films from the 1980's.

Dreyfuss and Estevez have true comedic chemistry.

Beats the Lethal Weapon movies at their own game.

Between Lecce's illicit courtship and Reimers' consternation, there are some hearty laughs of a juvenile nature.

Enough sophomoric jokes about sex to keep it pleasingly diverting.

The director uses the conventions of the action-comedy in so adroit a way that you may even forget the hundred other films you've seen lately about a couple of cops kidding around with each other in between battling the bad guys.

You might want to stake out a theater near you.

Slick, sure-footed entertainment, one part buddy comedy and one part police actioner stitched together with a dash of romance.
