The Other Guys (2010)

The Other guys

I remember seeing the trailers for this and thinking it would be a funny movie
and I would have to say I though right.
It is I would say an Action comedy with buddy move elements
and has a very good cast who I think really shine in this.
Your basic story is as follows Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
are your stereotypical Action Hero Cops who engage in over the top stunts/explosions
gun fights, One Liners and Sexy Women. They are the Heroes of the city everyone
loves them and they are on top of the world...and then there is the Other guys
Will Ferrell who plays a some what odd yet nave Detective who would rather
enjoy his desk job then be out in the field and this partner played by
Mark Wahlberg who is somewhat hot tempered and has anger issues but dreams
of being in The Rock & Jackson's spot. (Wahlberg & Ferrell come off as the
stereotypical buddy cops) After the humorous demise of The Rock & Jackson
in one of their over the top stunts Wahlberg & Ferrell end up stumbling on
to a big case and have their chance to be the heroes and save the city.
Now personally I thought this move was incredibility funny
There was some narration by Ice T that adds so much to this and makes
it so funny. The action and stunts were all done with a comedic
feel to them even the as I mentioned above he humorous demise of
The Rock & Jackson's characters. The music in this I felt fit
and added to the humor at time.
There were alot of very funny parts that you have to laugh becasue
they were at time a bit odd like the singing parts and the weird
type of drinking/ getting drunk montage where it look almost like
a beer commercial. Also the bribe scenes with Wahlberg & Ferrell
were great fun. Also the visit to Ferrell's character's ex's house
was kinda weird but the recounting of his past was rather funny and
just highlights how clueless he is.
all in all this was a great movie it starts off with a bang and then
rolls out the laughs.
also the statistics during the end credits were cool and also there
is a scene after the credits as well.
