4/10
First half funny, second terrible!!!
8 August 2010
If you go to see The Other Guys, only watch the first half then leave...seriously not joking. This movie starts with a bang. Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock are two cocky cool guy cops that are driving a muscle car and caught up in a ridiculous over the top chase that's hilarious! There's lots of great one-liners and tension between Ferrell and Wahlberg in the first half.

But in the second half the movie takes a nose dive into the earth's core. I honestly felt like a 10 year old was editing and directing then! There are occasional hints in the first half that it will fail like excessive goofiness and dragged sequences. But I had faith in it.

I'll give the first half a 7 and the second a 0 = 3.5...rounded up to a 4.
