Summary
Add a SummaryWhen the two head policemen in the NYPD die in the line of duty, it is up to two misfits, a nerd and a policeman who shot Derek Jeter, to step up. They are quickly lapped by two policemen who are actually bad cops, but given their low status, the misfits cannot overtake them... until they accidentally find a case about a ponzi scheme, that has slid right under everyone else's nose. The two take on this tough case and battle through relationship turmoil, turmoil within the NYPD, and turmoil with the bad guys. The Other Guys is a great movie that shows that sometimes the laughingstocks are the ones that will win.
Two mismatched New York City detectives seize an opportunity to step up like the city's top cops whom they idolize -- only things don't quite go as planned.

Add a CommentGood not the best but still enjoyable.
Amusing take on the buddy cop genre. Mark Wahlberg is legitimately funny in this pre-Ted comedic role, Will Ferrell less so as the straightlaced partner. Michael Keaton pops up in a supportying role but is sadly underutilized. All told, this movie probably belongs 2 rungs below "Hot Fuzz" in its subgenre totem pole.
This movie was sooo funny. Both Will Farrell and Marc Wahlberg were hilarious. This movie definitely surprised me.
This is FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a funny movie, but it's kind of confusing. From the beginning I didn't know which one is/are the bad guy(s), and why are they bad.
Samuel Jackson and Dwayne Johnson were the best part of this film.
Obnoxious stars camping it up for their own egos. Tiresome.
good
Do the people making these movies think we do not have a brain? Found it was just stupid. Of course, will not recommend
This movie was ok. The comedy was a little dry, but overall, so-so
