Whoever decided that the DMV would be run by sloths deserves a raise. Best joke in the whole movie.😂
I like the scene when Gideon comes with the pies and talks to Judy. You can tell from the way he talks that he's been in therapy and the fact that he's now a kind of business partner to Judy's parents shows how it's possible to grow beyond your own world of thoughts. Just a small but noticeable redemptionarc for him.
The way Nick said, "Oh there's a 'them' now?", that cut pretty deep. The film's message is handled well, Judy and Nick make a great team and have great comedic timing, and Mr. Big and the DMV sloths are both hilarious.
May be in the minority, but I'm actually on Chief Bogos side. It was literally Judy's FIRST DAY on the force, so of course you put her on the beginner job. You don't just get on a big investigation case on your first day. You have to build up your reputation and prove yourself in the field. To Bogo, Judy was a brand new, untested in the field, hot shot recruit fresh from the academy. And the next day she was insubordinate and caused a huge commotion. I say he was in the right. Just good thing she did happen to be a good cop and prove herself in the end.
The moment you realize this movie is about a cop with a conman best friend and mob connections bringing down a drug cartel.
The Mr. Big sequence is so good. That shrew is a great character. I love the callbacks to mob movies and the literal interpretation of "ice 'em" is hilarious.
Fun Fact: The voice actress for Judy and the voice actor for the pig that got robbed are married. They first met on a show called One Upon A Time, where they played the main characters, Snow White and Prince Charming.
43:22 how in the WORLD! did I never notice, that Bellweather literally has Doug's Number on her Desk!?🤯
Didn't realize it until just now, during the press conference one of the reporters asking questions was a sheep, and he is the one who asked if it was only predators that were going savage, creating the narrative. The way the press does. It could have been part of the plan. Plus, it might have been the same voice actor as unfriendly Doug, so possibly the same character?.......
