Cop & 1/2, a comedy film from 1993, stars Burt Reynolds, Norman D. Golden II, and Ruby Dee. The movie follows the story of a Tampa cop named Nick McKenna (Burt Reynolds) who is tasked with picking up a young boy named Devon Butler (Norman D. Golden II) in order to get information on a drug lord called Mommy. As a child lottery winner, Devon has always been fascinated with cops and dreams of becoming one in the future. When he finds out that Nick is a cop, he asks if he can be his partner, and Nick reluctantly agrees to let him help with the investigation.

Devon is a smart and curious kid, but also a bit of a troublemaker, which makes Nick's job difficult. Nick tries to get Devon to stay out of trouble while they work on the case, but he finds that the boy is actually helping him in ways he never could have imagined. Devon has a way of connecting with people and gathering information that Nick could never do on his own.

As they work together, Nick and Devon develop an unlikely friendship. Nick starts to see Devon as a son figure and Devon starts to see Nick as a father figure. However, things start to get complicated when Mommy realizes that Devon is working with the cops and sends his henchmen after him. Nick must protect Devon from harm while also trying to bring Mommy to justice.

Throughout the movie, there are many humorous moments as Nick takes on the role of a mentor to Devon. Devon is a comedic character in his own right, and his antics add a lot of humor to the film. The movie is not just a comedy, however. It also has a serious side as it deals with issues such as drug use and corruption.

Burt Reynolds is excellent as Nick, bringing his signature charm and tough-guy demeanor to the role. He is the perfect foil for Norman D. Golden II, who plays Devon with a childlike innocence that is endearing to watch. Ruby Dee is also good as Rachel, Devon's grandmother who is concerned about her grandson's involvement with the police.

Overall, Cop & 1/2 is an entertaining movie that blends comedy and drama in a satisfying way. The chemistry between Burt Reynolds and Norman D. Golden II is excellent, and the movie has a lot of heart. It is a must-watch for fans of Burt Reynolds or anyone looking for a feel-good comedy that also has a serious message.
