Pretty Funny Movie Worth Seeing

Walking into the theater, I will honestly say that I was not expecting much from The Other Guys. After a few utterly ridiculous jokes and booming laughter from the (clearly) entertained crowd, however, I began to thoroughly enjoy this movie. I will not go as far to say that this movie was the best of the year, or even the summer, but I will say one thing: I had a fantastic time watching it. Will Ferrell, who in my opinion is generally a wild card, was an outstanding compliment to Mark Wahlberg's expertly executed (and hilarious) portrayal of a man struggling to prove in his career (as well as his manhood). This unlikely dynamic duo is what makes this movie unique and entertaining. Unlike most comedies which have maybe two good moments (which, conveniently were already shown in the commercials), The Other Guys was filled to the brim with lines and moments that will keep you laughing all movie long. Even better? The Other Guy's has a message that does not over-power the movie. (4.5)

will Ferril Was pretty funny

This movie is a true comedy. Some movies fall within the structure of reality and happen to be funny. This one pulls no punches and leaves reality behind from the very first scene. You would think that the repeated use of several bits might get old, but somehow it just works here. As with any movie there is bound to be a couple slow spots, but for the most part this was a grade A laugh fest. My sides and face hurt from laughing and smiling for an hour and a half. If you love comedy and don't have a stick up your A**, you will love this film.

The other Guys is a send-up of cop dramas that makes fun of all the cliches. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg pay it straight while being very funny. The movie manages to be a cut above the usual laugh-a-minute crude joke fest and even attempts to educate, although you might not even notice.
