Mini Reviews - The Other Guys

The Other Guys

The Other Guys

Two mismatched New York City detectives seize an opportunity to step up like the city's top cops whom they idolize -- only things don't quite go as planned.

For the look of the poster and even trailer, you'll think it'll be an all-out action-comedy especially from the likes of director Adam McKay. Sadly the only time you'll get that is when you see both Samuel L Jackson and The Rock having a crazy action scene at the beginning of the film. There are a few chuckles and laughs, though jokes do get reused by the last half of the film and it gets tiresome. And there is nothing to actually care for with any of the characters or anything and you don't get much of this film. Its not bad and Mark Wahlberg proved to be funny alongside with Will Ferrell. Eva Mendes is hot, but her whole reason to be in the film is to be hot. And its nice to see Michael Keaton after a long while. Its not terrible, but its not great either.

2 out of 5 stars
