Friday was when the film “The Other Guys” came out. The movie has actors Mark Wahlberg, Steve Coogan and Will Ferrell in it. The “Other Guys” reviews so far are pretty good. Ferrell and Wahlberg have done some bad movies just lately although “The Other Guys” seems to be a good step for them. The movie was directed by the director of “Anchorman,” “Talledega Nights” and “Stepbrothers,” who is Adam McKay. Article source – Critics are kind in the Other Guys reviews by Personal Money Store.
’The Other Guys’ is a movie that’s been done before with other actors
The premise behind the movie is that a disgraced cop (Wahlberg) is given demeaning work after a high profile fiasco in which his character inadvertently shoots Derek Jeter. Will Ferrell becomes his geek partner who is a forensic accountant when he now works on white collar crime. They get wise to an evil businessman (Steve Coogan) and his nefarious scheme and take him down. Hilarity ensues. Every plot has been done before, just like this one. It’s the personalities that make the difference between studios losing money or striking box office gold.
Reviews better than expected
There is a 79 percent rating for the movie on Rotten Tomatoes. Ferrell most recently starred in “The Goods,” and “Land of the Lost”, both of which got less than 30 percent in their ratings. Wahlberg, on the other hand, has not had a film get more than 32 percent since 2007. Critics have said the movie is amusing although it is certainly dumb humor. MTV Kurt Loder says it is a great summer comedy although it isn’t very intelligent.
Worth watching it
This could be what you need if you would like a goofy comedy. Numerous Americans may just need this funny movie with all of the grim things happening in the economy.
