The Other Guys (2010)

This cop buddy film stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as the losers of the NYPD. To be honest, that is not saying much since all the police are pretty stupid and don't really know what they are doing (including their captain played by Michael Keaton). The duo decide to make a name for themselves and go after a banker (Steve Coogan) who has not applied for the proper building permits. However, they end being involved in something huge after the money man is kidnapped away from them. Seems that he owes a huge amount of money to investors and is planning something big to swindle the money away from someone else.

This movie definitely has its funny moments. There are lots of little clever bits going on. Unfortunately they don't work stuck all together in a movie that seems a bit disjointed and schizophrenic.

Available: Netflix, Amazon
