The Other Guys

It's a great comedy. I have watched it with my colleges & we had a great time by watching this superb comedy..

Do they not teach English in Australia? Jk jk... kinda.

It's never funny.

Ok.... some very good "laugh out loud" moments, but I am fussy about when it comes to outragously over-the-top stuff, like the action sequences and puertiricans in helicopters n shit (not really a spoiler)

I disliked Marky Marks character, I always want to see more of a "Shooter" or "Four Brothers" character with him.

Great on-screen duo tho, the whole bullshit story of the tuna fish and the lion was in your face and just awesome.

Discos - 7/10

This was a bit of a disappointment for me. I didn't laugh all that much. It didn't live up to my expectations. I'll have to revisit it on DVD and see if it grows on me.

This is funny. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg the perfect combination. To, Kevin Smith, director of the "cop." This is your deceived the police genre. Steve Coogan also has some very interesting lines. Nice spot with Samuel Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. This is a very interesting film and best comedy film of the year the police.

I was looking forward to this movie, except i was extremely disappointed, didn't laugh one and fell asleep......oh well 🙂

It was ok, it had some funny moments, and then some long pauses of dull humor.

6/10

This scene alone made the movie worth watching:

I waited the extra month so I could watch "the extended version" on blu-ray.

Disappointed isn't the word. This film seriously needed a laugh-track included so the viewer would at least know what scenes were meant to be funny & when to laugh.

Seeing some of the behind the scenes footage, the director expected too much from Ferrell & Wahlberg to ad-lib & improvise the humor. Then when in doubt Ferrell would fall back on his "crazy rants & antics" which we've already seen & already laughed at in his previous movies. It gets tiresome in The Other Guys.

The "Aim for the bushes" scene with Jackson & Johnson jumping off the building, I felt would've honestly been funnier if there was actually a small (obviously too small to make a difference) bush they were aiming for.

In the "alternate scenes", Jackson says, "And remember to duck & roll..." (when hitting the pavement) that would've been a funnier line to their demise, in my opinion.

The only actor I thought gave the movie grace was Michael Keaton.

This movie had its fair share of funny scenes imo, but everything that wasn't funny was miserable. Comedies should at the very least have an entertaining plot to go along with the jokes in the film. This movie didn't have that at all, the plot was miserable and boring.

There were bushes that surround the erect statue. They were just a ridiculous distance away.

Which is also what makes it quite funny. The way the camera shows it unfolding is hilarious.

I was half baked when I watched the movie and during that scene I almost died of laughter. I was just thinking don't tell me they are going to go for it....' and then Rock confirms "Aim for the bushes" What fkn bushes man??? ROFL.

My bad. I honestly didn't see the "bushes" in the distance. I just saw pavement & street.
