  1. Quality
  2. Summary
    Very Good 3.5

    “The Other Guys.” Ferrell and Wahlberg act in Adam McKay’s new comedy about two cops that fall to their deaths, a cop whose fear of action glues him to his desk job, and yet another cop whose stupid action at a baseball game cost him his promotion. Throw in some lines for Will Ferrell to say in a loud voice, and you’ve got a comedy that everyone thought would rival, and beat, “Cop Out”

  4. Acting
    Very Good 3.5

    A hilarious performance by Will Ferrell. He nails his character.

  5. Male Stars Great 4.0

    Bravo…Bravo.

  6. Female Stars Good 3.0
  7. Female Costars Good 3.0
  8. Male Costars Good 3.0
  10. Film
    Very Good 3.5

    Another solid, funny film by Adam McKay, the director of “Anchorman,” who always gets Will Ferrell to say something boring or stupid in a funny way.

  11. Direction Very Good 3.5
  12. Play Great 4.0

    Great verbal gags!

  13. Music Very Good 3.5
  14. Visuals Great 4.0

    Nice action scenes and shootouts.

  15. Content
  16. Edge
    Sordid 2.7

    Crass sexual references and some semi-serious shootouts.

  17. Sex Erotic 3.0
  18. Violence Fierce 2.0
  19. Rudeness Profane 3.0
  21. Reality
    Surreal 2.2

    A semi-realistic film. Outrageous scenes, but nothing too off-the-wall.

  22. Circumstantial Glib 2.0
  23. Biological Glib 2.0
  24. Physical Surreal 2.5

Regarding Wick’s Review
Woah. I didn’t love this movie, but I didn’t expect you to absolutely loathe it movie, Wick. I do agree with you on a lot of your critiques, though. Notably the script and the fact that many good actors were just wasted. I hope to God the unrated version’s a hell of a lot better than the theatrical. But I don’t plan on wasting my money on that.

Wick

I don’t hate Will Ferrell either. For instance, I thought I gave him a pretty fair shake in Semi-Pro, which now looks like the movie that started his downward slide from “can’t miss” status.

It’s interesting that you two guys gave The Other Guys such different ratings. I’ll have to catch it on a plane or in a hotel room to determine who I agree with more.
