Synopsis
À la suite d'une opération policière, un agent double est enlevé par des motards criminels. Deux policiers, le père et le fils qui sont incapables de s'entendre, doivent retrouver leur collègue, et leur seule chance est de faire craquer l'avocat des motards, Charles Bérubé (Rémy Girard). Celui-ci, surveillé de près par la police, est sur le point de trahir la bande mais est inapprochable. Cependant, l'avocat est mis au pied du mur par sa conjointe : pour contrer les tendances suicidaires de son fils, il doit passer avec lui une semaine en forêt pour une thérapie de groupe père-fils organisée par un psychologue (Robin Aubert). Les policiers y inscrivent leur couple père-fils dysfonctionnel pour essayer d'amener l'avocat à collaborer.Actors

Luc et Marco, deux humoristes méconnus, font le tour des petites villes du Québec avec leur spectacle respectif ; le premier, blasé et antipathique, est trop cérébral, alors que l'autre, enjoué et dynamique, est trop vulgaire. Un seul numéro, qu'ils exécutent collectivement, a un certain succès auprès de l'auditoire. Il consiste simplement à insulter publiquement un membre de l'assemblée jusqu'à la limite de l'insolence. Malheureusement pour eux, à l'Anse-au-Pic, une petite localité en bordure de la rivière Saguenay, ils humilient Roger Gendron, le cuisinier timide et renfrogné du casse-croûte local.

Detective David Starsky (Ben Stiller) is a loud, macho acting cop who loves his Ford Gran Torino, and recklessly pursues people for minor offenses, and Detective Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson (Owen Wilson), is a cool easy-going cop, who sometimes actually works alongside criminals, claiming to be undercover, to investigate their activity. The two cops are made partners, almost as punishment for their recent shenanigans. While the two are wary of each other from the beginning, Jewish-American drug kingpin, Reese Feldman (Vince Vaughn), and his partner-in-crime, Kevin (Jason Bateman), are planning to bring in a shipment of drugs worth millions of dollars. They have developed a new type of cocaine which is untraceable in scent and taste. When Feldman finds out that one of his drug pushers failed a drug transport operation, he kills him and leaves the body in the ocean.
