Can anyone else remember the last time Will Ferrell made a good movie? Me either. At least he's redeemed himself with The Other Guys. In a summer that's been noticeably lacking of decent comedies (I liked Get Him to the Greek, but no one else saw it), The Other Guys is a welcome addition. As the cops who try so hard, but never seem to do anything right Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg have an absurd and very entertaining chemistry. They're perfectly cast in their scared of danger/let's get bad guys personas. The rest of the cast more than holds their own too. I thought Michael Keaton and Eva Mendes had a few nice moments, as did Sam Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. The Other Guys is silly, but it's the good kind of silly that makes you laugh, not want to walk out of the theater (see last week's review).
