4. The Other Guys
The Other Guy’s is seemingly the
result of taking the Odd Couple, giving them guns, making them solve crimes and
casting Will Ferrell and Marky Mark Wahlberg in the titular roles.
The Other Guy’s is the fourth of five collaborations between star Will Ferrell and director and writer Adam McKay and follows hapless desk jokey (Ferrell) and hot headed laughing stock (Wahlberg) who form an unlikely partnership to stop a dodgy financial deal taking place.
With appearances from Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock, The Other Guys successfully parodies the buddy cop genre in a way that makes Kevin Smith’s Cop Out look like Battlefield Earth to Ferrell and McKay’s Star Wars.
A clever parody, that is both full of laughs and shows off Ferrell and Wahlberg’s natural comedic chemistry. New York and comedy’s finest.
