The Other Guys (2010)

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.

As a general rule I don't tend to go for Will Ferral films, but have to say I found this pretty easy watching and a little comical in parts!Definitely a watchable!

Yep, I shut this movie down only halfway, 'cause oh boy is the cringe real. I've never cringed so much during a movie, the "vulgar" jokes can sometimes work but the way they are used in this movie just puts me to puke. I don't get it. The budget wasted on this movie, including the stars which the main actors are, you might at least hire a guy that knows what he's doing, but the Director (Adam McKay) decided to do it almost on his own, co-operating with Chris Henchy. Eventually it turned out to be the worst script you could ever get, even worse than many B-level movies. Script : Absolutely an F, out of god-knows how many lines there are in this movie, maybe a thousand ? only 3 or 4 lines are funny, the rest is pure $hît. Acting : It looked like the actors knew something was up with the script and was doing it only for money, I won't say they were bad, but this surely is due to the script. Editing : What' wrong with the Audio, and the trim-editing ? It even had me yawning more. The first chapter of this movie (15min or so) were okay, but after that, it was a huge mess, a disgrace to comedy.Save your time and money, this is not the kind of movie you'd go if you are looking for the good-laugh-comedy.

Mark Wahlberg has proved he has another another revelation. He plays comedy really well, by playing serious, in the seriously, entertaining and different comedy romp, which has a beautiful, approved blend of humor and seriousness. They're are some absolutely hysteric moments here, as our wanna be serious, pen pushing cops, see an opportunity when two of their top collegues, bizarrely suicide. Facing constant taunts and humiliation, from two cops, our lovable buddy pair (Wahlberg and Ferrell, who work so comically well together) get out there, and make it happen, by solving the latest crime, involving your not so ordinary criminal. I felt Michael Keaton as their captain, was wasted here, but his presence was felt. You typically see the inter related stars, of comedy and hard action, cross paths here, and what The Other Guys has going for it, is that's a refreshing new comedy action movie, that should be high on people's radar. Eva Mendez as Ferrel's wife, has never looked hotter where poor soul Wahlberg, (a natural ballerina too) is querulous, to how he keeps getting the hotties.
