The other buddy cop comedy film of 2010

The Other Guys (2010)

Director Adam McKay makes his 4th collaboration with star Will Ferrell in a buddy cop spoof which co-stars Mark Wahlberg. When the cities famous cop paring are killed can two failures become the heroes?

There is a fairly big supporting cast in this film which includes Eva Mendes, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Dwayne Johnson and Steve Coogan, while the film does not get the best out of all this talent it is still funny enough. There is nothing especially original or innovative here but this is probably the best McKay/Ferrell film since Anchorman (2004) as there are plenty of funny, if not hilarious, moments to fill in the gaps.

4/5 a decent comedy.
