Ed Helms is a wacky cop with a kid sidekick in the trailer for Netflix's Coffee & Kareem

Every once in a while, a movie or TV show comes along that was clearly written with the title first. For example: Coffee & Kareem, a new Netflix movie starring Ed Helms and Taraji P. Henson about a guy named James Coffee who has to team up with his girlfriend’s son, a pre-teen boy named Kareem. If their names weren’t a pun on “coffee and cream,” the movie would be called something else, thus, someone said “Coffee and Kareem” and then—at least to some extent—they built a movie around it. We’re not saying that’s a bad way to do it, we’re just saying that it seems noticeable in this particular case. As a matter of fact, it seems like a fun way to make a movie. A cop named Coffee! A kid named Kareem! Together they’re… Coffee & Kareem. Super fun.
