The Other Guys is the new cops and robbers parody from thevery successful team of director Adam McKay and actor Will Ferrell. This movieis laugh out loud funny and should not be missed..

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay have previously worked togetheron 3 films, the very funny and successful Anchorman and Talladega Nights andthe not so funny and disappointing Step Brothers. Thankfully The Other Guys shows that this teamis back in fine form.

In many movies about cops you typically have a set ofpartners that are so good, so daring and so heroic that they are dubbed SuperCops by their colleagues and the general public. The Other Guys are NOTthose cops.

The Other Guys are Forensic Accountant Alan Gamble (asuperb Will Ferrell) who enjoys being a paper-filing desk jockey, and his frustratedhard-ass partner Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) who dreams of being acrime-fighting super cop. In Hoitzs mind, he would already be one of thosesuper cops if one he wasnt anchored to his excitement-avoiding partner andtwo . he wasnt consistently being harassed, heckled and ridiculed foraccidently shooting Derek Jeter.

Hoitz sees his chance when the NYPDs hot-shot super copdetectives P.K. Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson)and Christopher Danson (Dwayne Johnson) are forced out of action in a trulyhilarious scene. Suddenly there is a spot open for a pair of action heroes andHoitz doesnt want to miss his opportunity. Looking to dump his boringassignment he finds a much better one in Gambles files in the form of a Ponzischeme involving international terrorists. He pressures Gamble to get out frombehind his desk and the two of them begin their quest for celebrity cop fame.Unfortunately (fortunately for the audience!) this results in massiveunintended property damage, accidental destruction of evidence, trampling ofcitizens rights and multiple dressing-downs by their captain (a much missedMichael Keaton).

As an actor Ferrell is a master at stating the obvious andmaking it sound funny. The films teasers include a scene where Gamble andHoitz are knocked down into the street by a nearby buildings explosion. Gambleimmediately starts yelling about how on TV that never seems to hurt and neverseems that loud. On paper that is not funny, but Ferrells delivery andexpressions make it work. It is the ingredient that was missing in StepBrothers.

McKay has done a great job in lampooning stereotypical charactersfound in cops and robber movies. Samuel L. Jacksons and Dwayne Johnsonssuper-cops are so over-the-top and delusional in their crime-fighting abilitiesthat the audience is laughing from the very beginning. The director shouldconsider doing another movie on just these two characters.

The chemistry between Ferrell and Wahlberg is good but notgreat. But the jokes are so good and come so fast that this doesnt sink themovie. If anything the jokes are TOO good in that you really notice when you getto a stretch in the movie where the jokes are only so-so.

Overall this movie is a winner and another high point in the collaboration between actorWill Ferrell and director Adam McKay.
