Director - Adam McKay
Writers - Adam MaKay and Chris Henchy
Stars - Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson
At the start of the film there are some great scenes involving Samuel L.Jackson and Dwayne Johnson as two over the top New York City hero cops P.K Highsmith and Christopher Danson. Thing these scenes are some of the best scenes in the film and gets the most laughs. I believe there should be a spin off film just about these two characters. The rest of the film sadly doesn't keep the laughs or the pace that is set at the being. There are some good little moments, but these always come for Will Farrells character Allen Gamble and you just get the feeling that Terry Hoitz played by Mark Walhberg is the poor cousin. Who is purely there for the purpose of setting Will Farrell up.
All in all The Other Guys does have some stand out moments such meeting Allen Gambles (Will Farrell) wife Sheila played by Eva Mendes and the over the cop scenes as I mentioned before. But the film just doesn't hit the right spots and feels a bit flat. I would say that you would be better off watching one of Will Farrell's other films such as Anchorman and Elf.
Score - 6/10
