Movie: The Other Guys

     So I'm a little late on watching this, but I just saw The Other Guys staring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. It is this comedy about the New York detectives competing for the top spot as the cities heroes.  The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson are the rock star detectives in the beginning but after a stupid stunt, they both die and the positions are left for the next detectives to take. 
     Will Ferrell character of a accounting nerd is amazing. He plays it well. Every line he says was funny specially the ones that involved describing the wife (Eva Mendes) as plain and fat. Mark Walhberg's character is a bit over the top. It is definitely exaggerated how angry he is and I don't know it that was on purpose or not. He is not the best when it comes to the laughs alone, but him and Will together had some really good comedic moments. Also the boss, played by Michael Keaton, was hilarious. The lines where he unknowingly quoted TLC lyrics were hilarious. 
     Overall, this movie is packed with plenty of laughs and has a decent storyline. Will Ferrell outshine Mark Wahlberg but together they make a good comedic team. I would reccomend this movie to anyone. Its definitely worth your hour and a half. Well thats my opinion! Watch it and let me know what you think!!
