The Movie: I was laughingly surprised and highly satisfied once I finally watched this movie. I had at first thought "Aw, some Naked Gun ripoff or something like that..." No - this is original, hilarious and a keeper for any DVD collection. It is almost over the top but has a reserved framework that makes it all work. Everyone in this film delivers great performances - Ferrell is NOT the usual character you think of with him, and Wahlberg just rules with his aggression, delivery and always wanting things to be more dramatic than they are. Everyone is a pain in his butt - except Sheila (you'll see). Michael Keaton is great as their beleaguered Captain. Both Versions included are good; I need to watch again as I think that while the UNRATED one adds a bit, it also seems to have some things trimmed away from the theatrical version. The Set: This is the package I always look for - delivering the most bang for the bucks. Blu-Ray is awesome as expected, plus you get the regular DVD. The digital download went perfectly. I am not big on extra features like interviews, making-ofs, etc - other reviews might cover those. But I tell you, not many other movies will top The Other Guys for Action Comedy - for me there is no OTHER choice!Read full review
Although the comedy team of Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg does not sound like a threat to Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello, they conjure up consistent laughs in The Other Guys, yet another comedy from Talladega Nights director Adam McKay. Ferrell plays a mild-mannered police accountant partnered with Wahlberg's hothead (recently demoted to desk-jockey duty after shooting a very famous Yankee player during the World Series), and both men must endure the showboating fame of a pair of supercops (Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson) in their New York City precinct house. Along with sending up cop-movie clichés, the movie basically exists to give Ferrell and Wahlberg room to work amusing variations on their characters (with grace notes for Michael Keaton's stereotypical tough captain, too). The loosey-goosey structure works especially well when Wahlberg is needling his partner's squareness or marveling, in wonderfully awestruck tones, at the unbelievable hot-i-tude of Ferrell's wife (Eva Mendes)--a discrepancy made all the more maddening because Ferrell seems indifferent to her charms. Throw in a plot about a billionaire Wall Street crook (Steve Coogan) and the revelation of Ferrell's hilariously dark past, and the movie finds a nice zone of silliness. Of course, any Will Ferrell vehicle must be judged by the opportunities for the star to launch into some borderline-surreal riff--and happily, this film comes through. From the moment Ferrell begins deconstructing Wahlberg's lion versus tuna metaphor, The Other Guys manages to find time for such nonsense, and the film--the world in general, for that matter--is the better for it.Read full review
All college papers are to be double spaced, except for the reference page. The reference page should always be the last page of the report. The reference page does not need to be double spaced. Simply set your indentation for each reference at “hanging”. This will place the beginning line of the reference all the way left, but make all other lines below it indent five spaces or one-half inch. (See the example reference page) Insert one return line between each
Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg demonstrate great comedic chemistry in this satrical take on the super cop movies like Bad Boys and Tango and Cash. It was especially good to see Michael Keaton return to his comedic roots. I saw this film in theaters and couldn't wait until it released on video as it had me rolling with laughter and I missed parts. Great film.
In Good quality thanks
