** This lightweight family comedy became something of a RunningGag on ''Series/SiskelAndEbert''. While it was trashed by most critics, Creator/RogerEbert gave it an unexpected three stars (out of five), calling it likable despite its StrictlyFormula nature, which translated to a thumbs-up on the TV show. Creator/GeneSiskel, who hated the movie, was flabbergasted, and thereafter would mention ''Cop and a Half'' whenever he wanted cast doubt on Ebert's judgment as a critic, while Ebert would defend the review.
