The funniest movie of the year so far.

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

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 18, 2012

Juxtaposes the excesses of our unregulated financial sector with the excesses of the buddy cop movie.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Dec 21, 2010

This is the fourth feature that Will Ferrell and writer-director Adam McKay have collaborated on, and once again they deliver laugh-out-loud if ultimately disposable comedy with mixed messages about arrested male development.

The Other Guys has surprisingly energetic action sequences, shoot'em-ups and car chases, and even a bit of a whodunit plot...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2010

A comedy-action movie that begins far more engagingly than it ends.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 17, 2010

An angrier or more lucid breakdown of the grubby malfeasance of the stripy-shirted masters of the self-designated masters of the universe has yet to be made.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 16, 2010

McKay and co-writer Dave Henchy keep on pumping out gags; their movie often looks like a 107-minute comedy sketch, and I laughed throughout.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 16, 2010

A forgettable addition to the McKay canon.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 16, 2010

Skewers the action genre while also finding room for sheer madness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 15, 2010

There's a wealth of joyously berserk idiot humour, fusing slapstick and satire, surrealism and stream-of-consciousness improv into what could well prove the funniest movie of the year.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 15, 2010

Just go and see it. And send me the bill if you don't laugh.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 15, 2010

So what's the secret ingredient that makes Ferrell funny? The Other Guys finally confirms of what many of us long suspected. It's writer-director Adam McKay.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 15, 2010

It works best when it is freewheeling and absurd, and based on the relationship between the character and loses ground when the filmmakers worry too much about plot.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 9, 2010

Editing is crucial, but The Other Guys never knows when to cut. I suspect that Ferrell has a lot of control over that aspect and he is not ruthless enough. Perhaps he thinks everything he does is funny.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2010

Doesn't compare to Ferrell's best work and doesn't get Wahlberg any closer to escaping Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals, but it's a valiant and enjoyable effort on both parts.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 13, 2010

The Other Guys is most authentically itself when it indulges in a free-form but nonetheless highly disciplined silliness that has the effect of dissolving, rather than piquing, whatever worldly anger or frustration you may be harboring.

As good and fleeting as a street corner popsicle

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 6, 2010

The flaws don't outweigh the fact that most of The Other Guys is straight-up funny.

| Aug 6, 2010

Through it all, Ferrell is as Ferrell does. He's a non sequitur with frizz.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 6, 2010
