The Other Guys

Well, I had a fantastic weekend. My guy and I took a spur of the moment trip to Sudbury to visit my family, catch a couple Wolves games, and try this new Japanese restaurant my Aunt was raving about. My Aunts had rented The Other Guys and we all sat together Saturday night to watch it.

It was about what you would expect of a buddy cop movie. Will Farrell was better than he has been in his last few movies (Kicking and Screaming, Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro, Step Brothers etc. less funny, more stupid). But Marky Mark was not as funny as I would have hoped. His irrational anger was silly, but not funny. The real icing though was Eva Mendes. The scenes with her, Will, and Marky were among the most funny. The crime the boys are trying to solve is complicated enough to be interesting and the original Batman, Mr. Michael Keaton, was a little ray of sunshine.

This movie gets a:

The Best Will Farrell Movie Since Elf (but more buddy cop and less Buddy the elf)
