One of the movies coming out in the Sony ‘Laughing Stock’ range today is Will Ferrell’s new movie, The Other Guys. It’s directed by Adam McKay and has a rather impressive ensemble cast which includes Mark Wahlberg, Damon Wayans Jr., Steve Coogan, Michael Keaton, Eva Mendes, Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, Brooke Shields, Ice-T and Tracy Morgan.
Ferrell and Wahlberg are partners in the New York police department but struggle to get noticed in their normal day jobs as a forensic accountant and a ‘wanna-be hero cop’. The duo are forever overshadowed by by the city’s top cops, Danson and Highsmith (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson), until one day, an opportunity arises giving them their chance to shine.
If you’re a Will Ferrell fan, then you’re going to love this movie just as much as the rest of his back-catalog. I’m no great lover of all things Ferrell but I understand his draw and I’m sure this will be another hit where lines can be quoted for years to come.
It’s completely ridiculous throughout but with a strong cast who seem to purposefully overact at even given opportunity, this makes for a silly and fun Saturday afternoon watch.
Not for me but I know many of you will love it! [Rating 2/5]
The Other Guys is available to buy now on DVD and Blu-ray or to rent here.
