Buddy Cop
A buddy cop film is a film involving two people, usually with conflicting personalities, typically having one person having a wilder personality and the other having a more even-tempered one, being forced to work together in order to solve a crime and/or defeat criminals. Other frequent elements of these films include placing one of the partners in an unfamiliar setting or role and including a "good cop/bad cop" motif.
