Review of The Other Guys (2010) by Jonathan C — 13 Aug 2012

FINALLY--the first GOOD comedy of 2010 (intentional comedy, I mean. The Last Airbender may very well be funnier). What makes this work is the fact that almost everyone plays it straight. Will Ferrell proves that when he isn't acting like a total moron, he's actually quite funny.

Wahlberg show's he's got a deft sense of comedic timing, which is not surprising to anyone who has followed his career, since the boy can actually act. Those who like bathroom humor, slap-stick and physical comedy probably won't have a good time, but everyone else will probably spend a very good portion of this film laughing; I know I did.
