The cop is grizzled narcotics detective Burt Reynolds; the "half" is his new eight-year-old partner (Norman D. Golden II), a sidekick who's double the trouble at a fraction of the size in this comedy directed by Henry Winkler.

When a pint-sized 8-year-old kid witnesses a murder he offers to help the police, if they make him a cop, too. A hardboiled cop is forced to take his new partner seriously as they race the clock to bring the bad guys to justice.

After witnessing a mob hit, a precocious 8-year-old refuses to tell the police what he saw unless they make him a cop for a day.

Meet the Tampa Police Department's newest recruit: He's fearless. He's relentless. He's... eight years old! Director Henry Winkler serves up a hilarious action-packed treat the whole family will love, starring Burt Reynolds and introducing Norman D. Golden II. Young Devon Butler (Golden) is obsessed with being a cop. Whether he's memorizing lingo from Miami Vice or tailing "suspects" on the playground, this kid knows all the moves. And when Devon witnesses a murder, he's eager to share what he knows with the police - for a price. In exchange, Devon demands to be made a cop - complete with badge, handcuffs and cool shades. Saddled with a pint-sized squad car sidekick, hard-boiled detective Nick McKenna (Reynolds) is not happy. But when the crooks come gunning for the boy, Nick and Devon become real partners as they race against time to bring the bad guys to justice. This "arresting" comedy from Imagine Films promises to capture the imaginations and tickle the funny bones of parents and children alike... over and over again!
