The Other Guys (2010)
Two hotshot cops (Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson) who live like they are in a Michael Bay movie 24/7 die and now two loser cops Alan (Will Ferrell) and Terry (Mark Wahlberg of ‘Fear’) are determined to be the new hotshots. Cue sexism, a thieving investment banker (Steve Coogan), cringe comedy and Alan’s emotional abuse of his wife being played for laughs. The revelation that Alan is in fact a borderline psycho who was a pimp in college isn’t that big a surprise. But it is played for comedy as TPTB think sexism is funny.
This has an Australian heavy, sexist controlling men, bad green screen, shouting, narration by Ice-T, a bizarre plot, appearances by Damon Wayans, Jr of ‘Happy Endings’, an old looking Michael Keaton and Anne Heche of 'Another World'. This was incoherent, sexist and unfunny.
