Storyline
Terry Hoitz's past mistakes in the line of duty and Allen Gamble's reluctance to take risks have landed them the roles of the "Other Guys", disgraced New York City police detectives relegated to filling out paperwork for cocky hero cops Danson and Highsmith. The mismatched duo must look past their differences when they take on a high-profile investigation of shady capitalist David Ershon and attempt to fill the shoes of the notoriously reckless officers they idolize.The Other Guys Reviews..
I saw the film with my
60-year-old mom and my teenage son and we all cracked up throughout the
film--sometimes at different things and to different degrees. That's
touching a true cross-section!! Although the latter 1/3 of the movie
isn't quite as funny as the first 2/3, it still brought the laughs. I
can't imagine why anyone who enjoyed Will Ferrell in Anchorman,
Talladega Nights, and Step Brothers would give this movie anything below
7 stars.
Maybe the reviewer who said that everyone didn't get the comic references was on to something...although I can't imagine why people wouldn't. There are humorous references about modern technology, sports, pimpin', geriatrics, !! Who can't find something in one of those to laugh at?!? lol
I say DEFINITELY check it out for yourself! I needed a good laugh and I got one...even some true tears of laughter.
