Watch The Other Guys For Free

A Brilliant Conflict

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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!

Sorry all those who loved this but I didn't laugh or even smile once. A comedy is only a comedy if it is funny and Will Ferrel doing a poor impression of Chevy Chase just doesn't do it for me. The Mark Walberg character was weird and I never got what his angle actually was, in fact that was true of most of the characters, they were a mish-mash of characters from other comedy films and it just didn't work. But I guess the fault lies in the script and direction because as I said it just wasn't funny. Now I am sure many who did like it may have rolled about laughing but maybe that just shows we all have different tastes when it comes to humour. On a side note I was quite shocked at how short both Mark Wahlberg and Michael Keaton were. I kept thinking 'how on earth did that guy play Batman?

"The Other Guys" is a comedy, crime action movie, which follows the two cop buddies Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg who try to make a name for themselves in the NYPD. The story itself is not what makes this movie fun to watch, but instead to see the chemistry that goes on between Ferrell and Wahlberg. Their characters, who minds are complete opposite of each other works great for some good laughs throughout the movie. I love that the movie is set in a police environment, and that we get to see the odd police partnership play out between these two main characters. The flaw I have for this movie is the opportunities the movie misses to make it even funnier. The jokes in the movie mostly consist of what looks like improvised talk, and it's hard to find some real jokes in the movie without witnessing Wahlberg yelling all the time and Ferrell's mumbling. I feel the script could have been much better, but that isn't to say that the movie isn't funny at all, because it certainly has some scenes that will make you laugh. The crime- solving story isn't really that exiting to watch, which makes you more focused on how well Will and Wahlberg can deliver a funny performance. In the end, the movie has its funny moments but overall it could have been better.
