Also i think more movies are coming out in the future with the same type of opposite actor cast type thing that this movie did(i don't know wat you wana call it). For example, i saw a preview of a movie when i went to see the other guys, and it was staring robert downy jr. And the bearded guy from the hangover. So i think were going to see alot more movies like this one.… Expand

Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg did the best characters that they work each other playing as dectitives that they work terrible with their jobs and they both are hilarious in many ways and they both their own perspective way which they work as their own personalities,like most cops do. This movie will make you laugh and you will enjoy this action comedy film for entire summer!… Expand

Thought it might be an OK comedy but there is very little to like about this film. From the unlikable characters to even the unlikable actorsThought it might be an OK comedy but there is very little to like about this film. From the unlikable characters to even the unlikable actors (who are usually much better) and a rather silly storyline that got confusing. It has some good laughs and that's where most of the rating will come from, but as a whole it's a fairly messy movie with overdone jokes and bad performances from both Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg. Overall it's OK but certainly not one worth rushing out to go and see.… Expand

Something about it just didn't work post the Sheila dinner scene. I also wasn't too fussed about either of the leads, although it is certainly one of the better Will Ferrell comedies. Not much to discuss in regards to the production and direction aspects of the film. They were... fine, I guess. Every room in the movie seemed to dwarf all of the actors and made for awkward character marks and positions. I don't know if that was accidental or if I'm seeing things. Kinda funny. 5/10… Expand
