The Other Guys plot

"When the cops are busy... Our only hope is..."

'The Other Guys' follows Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferell), a forensic accountant who's more interested in the paperwork than the action on the street, and Detective Terry Hoilz (Mark Wahlberg), who's stuck with Allen as a partner after an embarrassing public display. . Allen and Terry look up to Agents Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and Manzetti (Samuel L. Jackson) but when the opportunity arises for Allen and Terry to prove themselves, things don't go as planned.

Simply put, this is not my humor at all. And then it stops very quickly. Too exaggerated, while comedy for me usually finds its humor by keeping it somewhat serious. Ferrell still manages to hold his own, but he's not my favorite comedian either. Visually not very special, the action is shot chaotic so there is too little fun to be had there. The Rock and Jackson are still funny but disappear after fifteen minutes (surprisingly, that is) and a single joke is still successful (especially the running gag of attractive women for Ferrell) but that's about it. 1.5*.

The Other Guys is a wonderful comedy versus action film in which some gentlemen guarantee a dose of humor. The plot is a bit long-winded at times, which makes it a bit of a shame. With a little more speed, there would have been more room for better jokes and action than stretching things every now and then.

Another collaboration between director Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, one that falls seriously short compared to Anchorman. There are some funny jokes in there, almost all Ferrell's, but the cast around him isn't too memorable. Wahlberg is even downright annoying, and also doesn't have a nice buddy chemistry with Ferrell. But purely because of Ferrell's funny performance, The Other Guys can barely make it through as a comedy. It is in terms of the action that the film falls through the basket. Chaotic, ugly and uninteresting filmed. McKay is clearly anything but a skilled action director, and should have bet on the comedy content. That opening scene chase with Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock is already awful, and that's basically the level every action sequence in the rest of the movie hits. Overall, it's just entertaining enough for once, but it's still on a 'bite, swallow and ready' level. 2.5*.
