DESCRIPTION:
Two NYC detectives are stuck at the desk,
But they finally get their chance to fly like a peacock,
And then they f*ck sh*t up
REVIEW:
The only question is, was it funny? To me, YES. I'm even going to go out on a limb and say it was funnier than The Hangover. The only part of The Hangover that was funny to me was Zach Galifiniakis, and that only kept me at a steady chuckle. Though The Other Guys wasn't extremely consistent, there were parts that made me laugh harder than I have at a movie in a long time.
If you are a Ferrell fan, you will not be disappointed. There was only about 3 to 4 days of actual rehearsal, so his improv was basically the whole movie. And it was HILARIOUS. But there were a couple other scenes that made me ROFL. Mark Wahlberg does what he is supposed to, be a foil for Ferrell's character; however, I found myself being annoyed by it at times. The supporting cast does a good job too, with an ok gag from Michael Keaton (got very thin), and funny exchanges with Ferrell's wife.
As far as Ferrell-McKay movies go, this movie was very smart. The story wasn't fantastic and relied on a lot of formula, but it was fine. The laughs definitely outweigh any flaws. Smith, this is how you do a buddy-cop comedy. Cop Out is not. So even if you do not enjoy McKay's movies, The Other Guys provides good laughs and solid summer entertainment.
