Nice effects though.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The Other Guys made me laugh a lot, but every now and then it becomes so absurd that it isn't funny anymore. This is a fun parody of the "buddy cop" genre with sharp, well-deserved jabs at the financial district. I was entertained.

This is a mindnumbing fun detective action parody movie. Come on, if you know Will Ferrell you know what you are gonna get: ridiculous jokes. And the jokes are good. They are cheesy, corny, childish, but they are still good jokes. And that's what this movie is all about, just having some mindnumbing entertaining fun. Short, very short cameo appearances (5minutes) by Samuel L Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. The other cop duo played by Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are the leading characters of this story and they are being portrayed as whimps. Anything that is dumb than dumber comes to mind when we see these 2 dumb detectives do their thing. Or aren´ t they that dumb after all? Nothing is what it seems in this hilarious action comedy in which Ferrell and Wahlberg discover a billion dollar scam by some pathetic crook from the stock market. Will they catch the crook?Ideally suited for kids. But adults could love it too, because there are some more subtle parody jokes on the detective genre mixed into this movie. Just have a good laugh.

"The Other Guys" is a comedy, crime action movie, which follows the two cop buddies Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg who try to make a name for themselves in the NYPD. The story itself is not what makes this movie fun to watch, but instead to see the chemistry that goes on between Ferrell and Wahlberg. Their characters, who minds are complete opposite of each other works great for some good laughs throughout the movie. I love that the movie is set in a police environment, and that we get to see the odd police partnership play out between these two main characters. The flaw I have for this movie is the opportunities the movie misses to make it even funnier. The jokes in the movie mostly consist of what looks like improvised talk, and it's hard to find some real jokes in the movie without witnessing Wahlberg yelling all the time and Ferrell's mumbling. I feel the script could have been much better, but that isn't to say that the movie isn't funny at all, because it certainly has some scenes that will make you laugh. The crime- solving story isn't really that exiting to watch, which makes you more focused on how well Will and Wahlberg can deliver a funny performance. In the end, the movie has its funny moments but overall it could have been better.

The comedy in The Other Guys, comes from the relationship between partners, Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg), two desk cops that idolize NYPD heroes Christopher Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and PK Highsmith (Samuel L Jackson). The only problem is that Terry can't stand Allen and his insistence to do menial work. However they learn to get along in order to investigate wealthy businessman David Ershon (Steve Coogan). The movie is a scenario with a bunch of jokes, like a lot of great comedies. Ferrell and Wahlberg are great together, and a lot of the comedy is derived from them. Eventually Ershon gets a lot of laughs when Allen and Terry kidnap him. The bottom line is the movie is really funny. I highly recommend, The Other Guys.
