Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: 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.
Fresh: 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.
Fresh: The Other Guys isn't as loose and free associative as its predecessors, planting Ferrell in the middle of a routine mismatched cop plot that doesn't permit him to combust.
Rotten: If you liked Anchorman, you'll probably find things to like about The Other Guys, but it's not a classic even for rabid Ferrell enthusiasts.

Totally Hilarious!
This movie is Will Ferrell's best. He and Mark Wahlberg create the funniest duo imaginable- I couldn't stop laughing. From Alan's attitude, idiotic comments and ridiculous behavior to Terry criticism, anger and insults, this movie is amazing. Aim for the bushes!
