The Other Guys

THE OTHER GUYS (2010) - Aug. 6, 2010
A really funny comedy about a couple of desk cops who wind up working a big case involving a corrupt businessman.  This was actually a bit better than I thought it would be, and is probably my favourite of the four Farrell/McKay comedies thus far.  It's a bit too long (as all the McKay films have been) but aside from that it was well made, fast-paced and quite funny.  Will Ferrell was at his Will Ferrell-y best, and Mark Wahlberg was surprisingly funny.  Plus it's always nice to see Michael Keaton on the big screen, and a recurring joke involving him quoting TLC songs was pretty hilarious.  If this had been 90 minutes I'm pretty sure it would have been an instant comedy classic.  ***
