I don't know if it's the most underrated but it's often overlooked- Running Scared with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.
Most underrated buddy cop movies
These are some of my favorites.
Turner & Hooch
This classic dog comedy starring Tom Hanks is possibly one of the most charming movies ever made. Tom Hanks is hilarious as the frustrated dog owner Turner, but I'd lie if I didn't say that Hooch stole the show from him sometimes. He's positively adorable!

Hooch is one of my favorite movie dogs...he did make my list of favorite non-human movie characters.

Also, if ones count where only one of them is a cop, than another overlooked one which I liked was The Hard Way:

Cop Out starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, and directed by Kevin Smith.
Okay, so it wasn't the funniest, most original, or most highly entertaining buddy cop movie ever made, but it had its moments.

Freebie and the Bean (1974). Feels like an early prototype of The Nice Guys (and Shane Black's entire career, for that matter). James Caan and Alan Arkin make an entertaining duo, constantly busting each other's balls when they're not crashing their car into apartment buildings or shooting up bowling-alley bathroom stalls. Despite being successful enough to spark a short-lived television series, the movie seems mostly forgotten nowadays.

Didn't do well at the box office and was dissed by the critics. Not sure any of our mofos liked it, but this was just a fun film- lots of humor, well paced, and a nice romance. Enjoyed the interactions between old school
Harrison 's cop and Cali hippie Josh's cop. Also, lots of great cameos- Smokey Robinson as a cabbie is worth the price of admission for me. There's been many a rewatch from this mofo fan.
