The Other Guys (2010)

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star in an over-the-top comedy about police action films. The film is full of stars with cameos from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Derek Jeter, and with minor roles from Eva Mendes, Rob Riggle, Damon Wayans Jr., and Michael Keaton.

As with any Ferrell movie there are a number of jokes that I did not find funny, but there are also a lot of very funny parts and situations. Hey that is comedy. The movie was a lot of fun, the best running joke for me was Wahlberg learning ballet, art, and other talents to make fun of kids in his neighborhood growing up. The film seemed to have a message about Ponzi schemes and how even when caught these bad guys get away.

A fun, sometimes stupid, but entertaining movie. One of Ferrell's better films mainly because of Wahlberg. I would suggest it with reservations.

Vote: 7/10
