Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star in this cop comedy. But as the movie starts its The Rock and Samuel L Jackson who start this film with a bang with a "Hollywood" over the top police chase. The opening sequence is so enjoyable to watch and you almost seem to think why do we need Ferrell and Wahlberg. Then all becomes clear why pencil pushers Detective Allen Gamble(Ferrell) and Detective Terry Hoitz(Wahlberg) get some time on the streets. Its quickly apparent how opposite Allen and Terry are and Allens quiet comebacks to Terry are quite enjoyable to watch at first. They are trying to get something on Sir David Ershon(Steve Coogan) but is really quite confusing why and what really. The scenes with Dr. Sheila Ramos Gamble(Eva Mendes) and the main two are a joy as Allen doesn't see his wife being attractive where as Terry is infatuated and confused as to just how Allen has this woman in his life. Michael Keaton(Captain Gene Mauch) gets a nice return to form in this film. Mixing jobs as a baby birth tub boss and captain of the cops. The Other Guys is worth a watch but is no where near Ferrell best. I personally would have enjoyed seeing the Rock and Samuael class it up through the film as repeating my self the opening credits are just class.
