You’ll never look at cop procedurals the same way again, or Jersey Boys, for that matter.

At least McKay makes the film visually interesting, with one or two scenes of action that are worthy of mention, and some flair behind the camera during a frozen bar scene.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 9, 2023

It's a strangely sobering end to a seriously funny film, but also a hint at what McKay would tackle later in the decade with the Oscar-winning The Big Short.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 20, 2023

The movie isn't bad per se, but unfocused would be the corresponding adjective. [Full review in Spanish]

Like McKay's earlier works, The Other Guys is also a work of genius in how it works as both a parody and offers something to say about financial fraud.

| Dec 29, 2021

The movie breezes effortlessly from one hilarious scenario to another, yet effectively works as a real detective story.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 14, 2021

Just plain funny.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2020

Never fear. Will Ferrell is back.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 19, 2020

The Other Guys indulges in the crimes it condemns...

| Aug 28, 2020

Surprisingly, because I did go in with low expectations, I found myself laughing pretty much throughout. Including a couple of belly laughs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 8, 2020

This is the comedy that many of Ferrell's fans will appreciate, with a talented cast and a solid script peppered with some truly laugh-out-loud moments.

| Original Score: B | May 9, 2019

The funniest movie of the year so far.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2018

All I expected from The Other Guys was that it makes me laugh, and it did, for two hours straight.

| Oct 24, 2017

"The Other Guys" gets completely sidetracked with its seemingly tacked-on high concept about busting white-collar crimes perpetrated by sinister multinational conglomerates.

| Oct 7, 2015

The Other Guys is the rare big-budget studio comedy that knows how to allocate its resources.

| Original Score: 7 | Nov 6, 2014

Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell have excellent chemistry, and provide for a lot of funny moments, but a poorly written plot and some forced jokes make The Other Guys only a good, not great comedy.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 9, 2013

One of the biggest problems overall, besides the lack of comedy, was the lack of story.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 23, 2012

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 18, 2012

Ferrell hasn't been this funny in years.

| Original Score: B | Nov 5, 2011

The first 30 minutes of the film, where this concept is really milked to the max, easily makes for some of the funniest comedy of the year.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 1, 2011
