Review: The Other Guys

The Other Guys is about two mismatched New York City detectives seizing an opportunity to step up like the top cops whom they idolize. Only things don't quite go as planned.

New York City Police Detectives Christopher Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and P. K. Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) are the toughest and most famous cops with the best capture rate no matter what it takes.

However, both of them died very early in the movie. Making way for Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) to take their chances to be one of the top cops.

They want their chance to make a big impact too. They get their chance when a small case falls into their lap which ends up being a very big case instead. Road chasing, kidnapping, shooting and dumb acts ensued.

Then out came Dr. Sheila (Eva Mendes), a very sexy lady and is Allen's wife, being one of the supportive casts in the movie. Apparently, Allen is a natural attraction for the hot chicks.

Overall, the movie is not as funny as what it seems. A typical storyline about cops wanting to shine and the inclusion of humors and jokes here and there.

The plot is pretty confusing as well, with too many bad guys around and not knowing what's happening when Allen and Terry tries to make an arrest. They always end up getting bullied.

And in the end, they manage to save the day. Pretty much expected.

Noobie Rating: 4/10 (Don't waste your time watching it)
