The Other Guys - 2010

Yep, I tried another Will Ferrell film on for size. I figured I waited long enough after my last Will Ferrell debacle. I think in this case, I will forgive my other issues with Mr. Ferrell. He more than made up for it with THIS movie.

The Other Guys is a entertaining look into the eyes of a couple of police detectives who were really THE OTHER GUYS...as in, the other guys in the room that no one really pays attention to when the BIG SHOT COPS come walking in. The two "other guys" in this case were played by Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.

The Other Guys started strong, got long in the middle and ended very strongly. One of the most interesting things to note about the movie was the credits, actually. Throughout the credits, they rolled details about Ponzie schemes and national debt calculations. I was pretty surprised to see the tables, graphs and data about money and how it had changed - or had been spent - or had been lost.

In my opinion, this is a must-see for movie goers - BUT, wait for the dollar theater. :)
