Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
betty dalton 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.
Majikat 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!
Ezekiel Trying to make a film that's action, drama, and comedy (all in one) is tricky, and "The Other Guys" can't avoid the difficulty. The parts that tried to be funny seemed flat, the parts that tried to be dramatic were tedious and many of the action scenes seemed intentionally overdone, to the point of being corny. The places where this film scored were the stupid parts, many of which were SO stupid they were hilarious.Dwayne Johnson and Samuel Jackson were excellent; Michael Keaton is solid, as usual, and I think my hardest laughs were at scenes with Eva Mendez, especially the ones featuring her character's mother.Judged against those sorts of all-in-one movies, I'd probably give this a 7 out of 10; judged against all kinds of movies, though, it's probably worth only about a 3 or a 4. In fairness, that could just be because in the last few days I watched Red and Red 2 for the first time, both of which did better at pulling off the action/drama/comedy trifecta, in my opinion.
jb_campo I wanted to laugh, so I tried the Other Guys. It's a typical Will Ferrel-type comedy. Two cops who are desk jockeys get thrust into a real case that puts them out on the street in a real case.Mark Wahlberg is OK as the partner, playing the straight man. Ferrell is a dork, married to a beautiful Eva Mendes who is a doctor. And all the beautiful women keep hitting on Ferrell. A typical ploy in these movies, reversing what you'd expect.Stupid story, lot of physical humor. If you like Ferrell, you will like this. Wahlberg is OK. The Rock and Samuel L Jackson also play some funny roles for a bit. But overall, you get what pretty much what you expect in this b-grade type comedy.The Other Guys - nothing great, but I have seen worse. Enjoy.
