The Other Guys (2010)

  Clever and funny parody, The Other Guys presents too interesting informations about the world of crime in the final credits. The movie is also very good in the special effects and great humor. But flaw in silly gags and the cliche of "Good Cop, Bad Cop". Rotten.

  Will Ferrell is the least likely man you would want to be a cop. However, in this movie, he's just the guy. Two misfit cops: Allen, who is a former pimp and now desk jockey, and Terry, who shot Chinga, uncover a huge case, but have to face many hilarious, raunchy, un-classy… More

  I was never much of a Will Ferrell fan, but this is actually a half-decent comedy

• Kyle F

  
  The Other Guys is laugh out loud funny, thanks to clever and original jokes that hit you in just the right spot and great chemistry between Will Ferrell Mark Wahlberg, who's good at being silly. Supporting performances are also a lot of fun.

  Terry Hoitz: I AM A PEACOCK, YOU GOTTA LET ME FLY! To start off this review, I want to point out that The Other Guys is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Right next to that is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, which is one of my favorites. This is the story of two mismatched New York City detectives who seize an opportunity to step up like the city's top cops whom they idolize, except things don't quite go as planned. First off, when you watch this movie, don't take it seriously. Actually, if you are watching ANY Will Ferrell movie, don't take it seriously. If you do, you will end up hating it. Not only was this movie hilarious, but it had pretty impressive action sequences. The two stars (Ferrell, Wahlberg) are perfect for each other. Ferrell is a nerd while Wahlberg is "that guy who shot Derek Jeter." I didn't give this film five stars because after a little while, the jokes seem to drag on and become endless, but that didn't affect me much. This is one of Adam McKay's best films.

  The Other Guys is not as assured a comedy as the other McKay-Ferrell movies like Talladega Nights and Step Brothers, but it works on many levels. The first 30-45 minutes are the best the film has to offer, but you sense the comedy dwindle as the main storyline progresses. What makes the first 30 minutes great is lost once we realize we're heading towards more serious territory (embezzlement, fraud, bribery). Subjects like that just don't feel 100% correct in a McKay-Ferrel film. These kinds of movies greatly succeed when the characters are battling with their own stupidity instead of these grand-scale oppositions. The Other Guys only did that to some extent. But what really made the film is the obvious chemistry between all the actors, especially between Ferrell and Wahlberg, who obviously used a slightly more ridiculous form of his 'The Departed' character for his character here. A slightly unsatisfying but big-laugh movie from McKay and Ferrell, one you can add to the large list of their fun enjoyable comedies.

  Funny, original, and great cast, and if you compare this to Cop Out, this is art. Will Ferell is funny, Mark Wahlberg is surprisingly a great comedian. The plot was good for a comedy. I thought this was one of the best comedies in 2010.

  I'll echo what most of the critics and users have already said: some of the jokes fall flat, but the ones that don't will have you laughing till your sides hurt. Not to mention incorporating new phrases into your personal lingo ("Pimps don't cry" & "I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly!"). Not my favorite Will Ferrell movie -- I'm a Talladega Nights man myself -- but another solid addition to the resume. And at some point, we'll have to all admit that Marky Mark is a very talented actor.

  Pretty funny. Not much for story, but funny anyway

  You won't hear me saying "wow" about this one. A fairly entertaining action-comedy, but it tries too hard to be funny. Jokes are flying out like random confetti, as if in the desperate belief that, the more they pack into each scene, the better the chances are to evoke laughter. And I don't know what Mark Wahlberg is doing in this, but comedy is definitely not his strong suit. Fortunately he is backed up by Will Ferrell, and together they at least manage to deliver a few gags that hits the mark. Overall, however, I wasn't too impressed.

• Shawn E

  
  The Other Guys is surprisingly hilarious comedy that feeds off sporadic dialogue and a ridiculous plot line. Ferrel and Wahlberg are a genius duo to this crazy comedy and will have you laughing.. A LOT.

  a very funny film. the vast majority of it was funny enough that this could have been the funniest film in years, but it wasnt consistent enough. for every 3 points of humor that worked, there was one that fell so flat that it was almost awkward. overall it was a great movie that i would watch again, and it deserves respect for getting back to a more 90's style of humor, parody, and satire, but ill remember it as much for its missed opportunities as i will its successes. the villain was also a bit weak considering this was a spoof of a genre which usually features stronger villains.

  Has the best 2nd Unit work in a long time: scrambles of shots of vehicles careening, crashing and flipping through the streets of NYC-- heart-jolting chaos. Everybody's good in this movie, although Eva Mendes is given the lines that come off phony in a movie that cares as much about realism as Anchorman. Subtlest performance is Steve Coogan's. The Other Guys tips toward broad comedy and even fantasy every few minutes but doesn't capsize. McKay has made a populist movie, with more anarchic release than Zombieland, and enough righteous indignation for (old friend) Michael Moore's approval. I get the sense that McKay considers himself a Hollywood propagandist, slyly teaching the informationally underprivileged masses. This time he gets away with it.

• Jason C

  
  This isn't a masterpiece of storytelling, and the ending kind of falls apart. That said, it made me laugh my ass off nearly all the way through. Will Ferrell is just a genius. I don't think I've ever seen him in a movie that I didn't enjoy.

• Douglas W C

  
  Language is the only thing that keeps this rating from being any higher.

  I have a hard time with comedies. I'm quite picky when it comes to this genre, and I rarely find more than one or two a year I genuinely like. The Other Guys isn't quite on that list, but it has enough to merit a mention in the comedies I somewhat enjoyed. Will Ferrell is… More
  I have a hard time with comedies. I'm quite picky when it comes to this genre, and I rarely find more than one or two a year I genuinely like. The Other Guys isn't quite on that list, but it has enough to merit a mention in the comedies I somewhat enjoyed. Will Ferrell is not an actor I usually enjoy at all, but here he changes it up and goes for more the silent, family man and I actually enjoyed his performance (maybe for the first time ever). Mark Wahlberg looked out of his element, but that in itself provides a few laughs. The movie does run too long though, and runs out of steam in the last 30 minutes when they focus on the ridiculous plot that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It provided a few laughs, a couple chuckles, and maybe a smile or two, but I never busted out hysterically. It's mildly enjoyable.
