“Cop And A Half: New Recruit” (*** out of four) was a pretty cute sequel to the 1993 Burt Reynolds monstrosity about a burned out cop (Lou Diamond Phillips) who teams up with a precocious grade-school kid (Lulu Wilson) for her help on a case which fulfills her dream of becoming a cop. Naturally, he hates it at first but then…..For a movie that’s completely unnecessary and a sequel to a movie that was dreadful to begin with, this is surprisingly entertaining and is carried along by some funny lines and deft interplay between Phillips and Wilson. A little of this goes a long way but still fun.
