The Other Guys
Dir: Adam McKay
2010
**
Cop films have been parodied to death, so if you're going to make a new one it's got to be fresh and original and as much as I liked Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson's scenes and the fact Will Ferrell toned it down a little, it just didn't entertain me. There are a couple of good lines and a particularity funny Johnson and Jackson scene but I thought 21 Jump Street, that came out around the same time was much funnier and stole its thunder somewhat by doing something different with the sub-genre.
