About this movie

Misfit NYPD detectives Gamble and Hoitz (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) are sentenced to life behind the desk. They hate each other and the monotony of their meaningless jobs, as they’re forced to live in the shadow of the two biggest and most badass cops on the force (Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson). But when those guys go down for the count, opportunity knocks for Gamble and Hoitz. Stumbling onto what could be one of the biggest crimes in years, can The Other Guys step up their game to solve the case without killing each other and destroying NYC in the process? From the director of Step Brothers and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

Ratings and reviews

This movie is bad, but not bad enough to allow you to stop watching it. There are many points where it seems they were just trying way too hard to be funny, which is very agravating to watch. However, there are some genuinely funny parts in this movie. I'd give it 2 1/2 stars out of 5.

I love this film... always makes me laugh but it doesn't have the Art Gallery scene, which is my favorite and why I bought this film in the first place. Apparently, that Art Gallery scene is only found in the unrated version. Disappointed... this should've been advertised as an Edited Version. The Unrated Version is not even available for purchase, so it is further misleading.

The other guys is one of my personal favorites! The only thing is its a tiny bit pricey. Now I know that some movies such as star wars can be quite a bit more like a price $25. The thing with these types of movies is that they are very large titles and have a tomato meter of over 80-90%. So I am going to recommend for people who love comedies but if you're not the type of guy who likes more serious then I wouldn't spend a good $10. Hope this helped
