Floro's
late to the party Movie reviews - The Other Guys
"Anchorman"
Will Ferrell and "Marky" Mark Wahlberg team up in a buddy cop
"movie", while Derek Jeter gets second billing for his extended
cameo. That alone should tell you a fair amount about the movie. Plot-wise
there's the super action hero cops, played expertly by Dwayne "The
Rock" Johnson, and Samuel "L" Jackson, and then there's The
Other Guys. We are also joined by Eva Mendes and Michael Keaton, both equally
fun for very different reasons.
This "movie" is really
more a collection of themed improv skits. So basically, every Will Ferrell
movie since Anchorman. The Other Guys does not have any resemblance of a plot
to try and hold everything together.
If you IMDB Will Ferrell, it told me that he's known for Anchorman, Step Brothers, Talladega Nights, and The Other Guys. Depending on the day, I might swap Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, but these are his top 4 Will Ferrell movies. This is not to ignore his other hits, or to compare them to his noteable failures, but rather to try and put The Other Guys in a category that describes what you're getting. Credit to Will Ferrell for leaving me with no other term than himself.

| WIll Ferrell can also be a noun for his own cameos |
Here's the recommendation: If you
liked the other 3 of his top 4 him movies, finish up the list and see this (and
then maybe get drunk and watch Casa de mi Padre on Netflix). If extremely
random things said by Will Ferrell and some other actors doesn't appeal to you,
this will be a living nightmare for you. There is no middle ground with Will
Ferrell. The same goes for The Other Guys.
