Brandon D. Classic. Definitely has the watchability factor. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/25 Full Review Rowan S Prepare yourselves, because I am about to make a bold claim: The Other Guys is not just a great comedy; it is, without a doubt, the single greatest, funniest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Forget cinematic history; this is the apex of human achievement in humor. From the opening credits to the final, side-splitting payoff, the film is a relentless barrage of comedic genius. Will Ferrell as the desk-bound "Gator" Gamble and Mark Wahlberg as the tightly-wound Terry Hoitz are a match made in comedic heaven. The chemistry between them is electric, leading to some of the most iconic duos in film history. The "peacock" argument alone is enough to certify this movie's legendary status. But it’s not just the leads. The supporting cast is phenomenal. Michael Keaton's turn as Captain Gene Mauch, with his obsession with TLC and part-time jobs at Bed Bath & Beyond and the Sizzler, is a masterclass in deadpan comedy. Eva Mendes is stunningly funny as Gamble’s surprisingly complex and gorgeous wife, providing some of the film's most heartwarming (and weird) moments. The jokes come fast and furious, but they land every single time. Whether it's the meticulous dismantling of basic police procedural tropes, the unforgettable "aim for the bushes" scene, or the absurdity of a high-speed car chase involving a smart car, the movie never lets up. The satire is sharp, the physical comedy is brilliant, and the dialogue is endlessly quotable. I’ve watched it countless times, and I still discover new details that make me laugh out loud. The Other Guys is more than a movie; it's a cultural phenomenon. It is an absolute triumph of the comedy genre, a perfect storm of writing, directing, and performance that has yet to be matched. If you haven’t seen it, you are missing out on the funniest thing you will ever experience. It is, quite simply, a flawless masterpiece. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/25 Full Review Lesley M Hilariously absurd. Calling the film stupid and dumb is obviously when the deliberate absurdity has been misunderstood. Classic Michael Mann with the action, stunts and car chases that are breathtaking. Trump Tower being trashed is a scream.

The ending was alright, it was not that good. The actors did amazing in their roles and Will Ferrell's wife is a beauty. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Stephen M This is the worst movie I have seen for a long while. Lazy scenario and woeful script. I know it’s supposed to be a “naked gun” type parody, but it’s SO far away from that it’s unreal. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
