"The Other Guys" gets completely sidetracked with its seemingly tacked-on high concept about busting white-collar crimes perpetrated by sinister multinational conglomerates.September 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.August 06, 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.January 31, 2011
The Other Guys is the sort of movie that generates some of its best jokes quietly in the background or as quick-hit throwaway lines, while other terrific gags are defiantly over the top.August 06, 2010
As good and fleeting as a street corner popsicleSeptember 23, 2012
One of the biggest problems overall, besides the lack of comedy, was the lack of story.November 05, 2011
Ferrell hasn't been this funny in years.November 09, 2013
Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell have excellent chemistry, and provide for a lot of funny moments, but a poorly written plot and some forced jokes make The Other Guys only a good, not great comedy.November 06, 2014
The Other Guys is the rare big-budget studio comedy that knows how to allocate its resources.February 01, 2011
The first 30 minutes of the film, where this concept is really milked to the max, easily makes for some of the funniest comedy of the year.December 20, 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.August 06, 2010
Through it all, Ferrell is as Ferrell does. He's a non sequitur with frizz.
