Not to be confused with: Bad Boys (1983)

Plot comparison: Will Smith and Will Lawrence are the bickering cops roadtesting the Bayhem for Michael... erm, Bay, while juvie Sean Penn is struggling to go straight in Rick Rosenthal's reform school drama.

If they switched directors: We're guessing Bay's idea of a borstal brawl would somehow involve jump-jets, rocket launchers and as much ammo as his mates in the military can spare. 

Meanwhile, Rosenthal's ultra-serious cop thriller proves to be Big Willie's sternest acting challenge yet, never mind Lawrence, whose inexplicable street-cred goes up in smoke the second he tries to play it straight.  Hey, we can dream, can't we?

Irksome to whom?:  Nobody, until somebody mentions Alexandra Burke.  Now, there's a title clash too far.
