An undeniably entertaining buddy cop comedy, The Other Guys stands out of the crowd as one of the rare action comedies that's cool, clever and consistently funny. Mostly due to the great chemistry betwee... read more -
January 2, 2012Clever and funny parody, The Other Guys presents too interesting informations about the world of crime in the final credits. The movie is also very good in the special effects and great humor. But flaw in silly gags and the cliche of "Good Cop, Bad Cop". Rotten.

November 27, 2011Will Ferrell is the least likely man you would want to be a cop. However, in this movie, he's just the guy. Two misfit cops: Allen, who is a former pimp and now desk jockey, and Terry, who shot Chinga, uncover a huge case, but have to face many hilarious, raunchy, un-classy obsta... read more

August 15, 2011The Other Guys is laugh out loud funny, thanks to clever and original jokes that hit you in just the right spot and great chemistry between Will Ferrell Mark Wahlberg, who's good at being silly. Supporting performances are also a lot of fun.

June 13, 2011The Other Guys is not as assured a comedy as the other McKay-Ferrell movies like Talladega Nights and Step Brothers, but it works on many levels. The first 30-45 minutes are the best the film has to offer, but you sense the comedy dwindle as the main storyline progresses. What ma... read more

April 21, 2011Funny, original, and great cast, and if you compare this to Cop Out, this is art. Will Ferell is funny, Mark Wahlberg is surprisingly a great comedian. The plot was good for a comedy. I thought this was one of the best comedies in 2010.

April 4, 2011I'll echo what most of the critics and users have already said: some of the jokes fall flat, but the ones that don't will have you laughing till your sides hurt. Not to mention incorporating new phrases into your personal lingo ("Pimps don't cry" & "I'm a peacock, you gotta let m... read more

March 27, 2011You won't hear me saying "wow" about this one. A fairly entertaining action-comedy, but it tries too hard to be funny. Jokes are flying out like random confetti, as if in the desperate belief that, the more they pack into each scene, the better the chances are to evoke laughter. ... read more

The Other Guys is most authentically itself when it indulges in a free-form but nonetheless highly disciplined silliness that has the effect of dissolving, rather than piquing, whatever worldly anger ... Full Review

Through it all, Ferrell is as Ferrell does. He's a non sequitur with frizz. Full Review

Deteriorates into something resembling Rush Hour 3. Full Review

In terms of flat-out nonstop laughter, it's the best comedy of the summer. Full Review

At times, there's an "everything but the kitchen sink" quality to the joke grab. But it works. Full Review

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
They may not be Jack Lemmon and Billy Wilder , but Will Ferrell and Adam McKay have a pretty good thing going. Full Review

Note to Kevin Smith: THIS is how you do a spoof of the buddy-cop genre. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Measured against this year's other police farce -- remember Cop Out? -- it looks absolutely heroic. Full Review

The Other Guys takes stuff that, as a rule, isn't particularly funny, and tries to make you laugh. More often than not, it succeeds. Full Review
