The Other Guys is a peculiar type of picture that has a bit of an identity crisis going on. The film stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as "the other guys", two cops on the beat who never get the attention and credit they think they so rightly deserve. The film is meant to be a bit of a spoof on Hollywood buddy action movies. But that's essential what the film ends up being anyway, only with a bit more humor thanks to the help of a straight faced Ferrell. Wahlberg here seems to be doing a spoof of himself with his own deadly serious demeanor, a joke that grows old after the first ten minutes. Overall though the film is mildly entertaining enough to sit through with a few hilarious one liners.
