The Other Guys Blu-Ray/ Combo Pack - Blu-ray + DVD

Good combo of actors and it was very funny.

Good movie

I was afraid to rent this movie because of the very mixed reviews but eventually my curiosity grew too much and I took the chance. There was much more action than I expected. Pretty much every single character has their own comedic quirks to them. Will Ferrell plays his usual "not-all-there" character but with the twist that his character actually has his very smart moments. And for someone as serious as Wahlberg's character, I was surprised by how many times he made mistakes as well. There is only one scene that I found that truly did not make sense *SPOILER ALERT* and that was the fight between Sheila and Allen. It went from a loving moment of song to "let's make love" "You have to let me be" "I'm pregnant" "Gator's b* better be using jimmies" "Get Out!" Why Allen had his freak-out moment made no sense and neither did Sheila's sudden confession of being pregnant. In any case I can understand this movie getting 3 star ratings but I really don't think it deserves a 1-2. It has stars who know how to act, humor, action, discusses "white collar crime" instead of the usual drug cartel premise. Does it overuse CGI and explosions? Yes. Does the comedy miss sometimes? Yes. Is TLC a little too far back to keep referencing? Perhaps. But I don't think that makes this entire movie worthless. And despite the fact that every positive review for this movie has been given "no" to the helpful question, I feel so strongly about the enjoyment I received from watching The Other Guys that I'm posting this anyway. After I send this review I'm going to watch it again. Have a great day. :)

We watched this movie and enjoyed it filtered. Very funny. "I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly!"

I don't think I'm saying anything terribly controversial or original when I state that Will Farrell movies tend to be a mixed bag. His most beloved star vehicles TALLEDEGA NIGHTS and ANCHORMAN, feature many truly hilarious moments, but also moments that just seem a bit weird and random. Farrell and his friend/co-writer/director Adam McKay just can't seem to stop taking diversions that are little more than whims. Sometimes these random moments have a life and excitement of their own (Ron Burgundy playing the flute in a restaurant), others are simply head-scratchers. It's a measure of how expensive THE OTHER GUYS must have been to make when I thought of how few of these quirky diversions Farrell takes. McKay & Co. have made a more straightforward comedy, one relying heavily on expensive action sequences...and thus must have felt a bit more constrained to sticking with a linear plot and not a series of sketches held together with a theme. But it's also a measure of Farrell's talent that the film still feels fresh and offbeat. Farrell plays a police detective who is really just an accountant with a badge and gun. He works his desk and hums while typing on his keyboard. He loves to see others running to where the action is...and loves staying safely at his desk. He'd probably be happy doing this his entire career, except that he's also got a VERY reluctant partner (Mark Wahlberg)...a once up-and-coming hotshot cop who accidentally put a bullet into Derek Jeter, costing the Yankees a World Series. Wahlberg urgently wants to get back on the streets...and when NYPD loses two of its most famous cops (Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson)...his desperate need reaches a boiling point, and he DRAGS Farrell out into the field. Unfortunately, Farrell's vehicle is a Prius, and it's very non-threatening profile generates some pretty funny wisecracks. ("I literally feel like I'm riding inside a vagina," says Wahlberg.) It is very amusing to see Wahlberg making fun of his usual intensity. Imagine his character in THE DEPARTED almost totally neutered by a career blunder. He's got good timing, and creates genuine chemistry with Farrell. Eva Mendes is welcome as Farrell's wife...she's WAY too hot to be married to Farrell, yet Farrell's character seems to draw hot women to him. It's so non-sensical as to be quite funny...particularly in the way it perplexes Wahlberg. Mendes, in many films, consistently shows flashes of having some nice comic ability, but has yet to be truly challenged. THE OTHER GUYS doesn't challenge her either...her character is more of a device than a real person. There are other nice supporting turns. Steve Coogan is always nice to see. Michael Keaton has a thankless role as the captain...but still gets off a few nice one-liners. Jackson & Johnson are hilarious (and their early scenes spoofing car chases and the mayhem they cause are pretty impressive). I must say, though, that I'd gladly never see Rob Riggle in a film again. Here and in THE HANGOVER, he plays obnoxious, toxic cops to virtually no comic effect. He's loud and amused with himself. But the film belongs to Farrell. He once again brings his character who is outwardly calm but clearly seething with repressed emotions. But Farrell has dug just a little bit deeper here. He's tried to bring logic to his character, rather than simply serving comic needs. The turmoil he is roiling with seems genuine. I gather from interviews and such that Farrell is a fairly happy family man. But he also encapsulates what a lot of people feel, I think..the feeling of being trapped in a life that isn't entirely what one imagined when setting out in the world. He carries an inchoate rage. In Farrell's hands, this is mined for humor...but you can also imagine how quickly it could be mined for drama. He's a master at teetering between out-of-control and dangerously out-of-control. There are a couple of Farrell & McKay's patented "random" moments. While drinking with Wahlberg in an Irish pub, Farrell frequently stops mid-conversation to sing verses in sad Irish songs while accompanied by an older chorus of Irish men. It's odd but somehow charming. But the film has many sustained jokes that continue to pay off. Coogan (as a Wall Street bad-guy) keeps putting off tough questioning by offering Farrell & Wahlberg tickets to Broadway shows. They accept and then beat themselves up later when they realize they've been bribed. I laughed a lot. That's ultimately they key to my recommendation. But I certainly appreciate the fact that the filmmakers realized they had a good concept and gave it some meat. Farrell was allowed to create a fully realized comic creation, and was given a stellar supporting cast. Wahlberg was probably the best possible choice to play the partner...and although I hope it doesn't happen I can certainly envision a sequel.

Movie arrived and is in perfect condition!!!

Great movie. Both Will and Mark are perfect in their roles, and play off each other wonderfully. I watch this over and over. It’s hilarious.

My husband and I are fans of Mark Wahlberg and my children are fans of Will Ferrell. This movie, with both actors together, did not deliver the movie as a comedy, nor as an action flick. I think it's due to lack of editing on the film. Some scenes should've been shorter (i.e. the scene where Ferrell's elderly mother-in-law kept coming back to deliver the message from his wife, played by beautiful Eva Mendes, to him and vice versa. The scene was repeated one too many times. We all rolled our eyes - enough already!) The movie has lots of car chases and action, and there were some funny moments. But all in all, it left us with a ho-hum reaction.

Loved the story and have to say it is tops, The beginning is fabulous and the cast is full of comedy and a bit of action thrown in so you wont be disappointed. Marvelous one liners and believe me you wont know what's going on next, Mark and Will you have you in stitches with the antics that they get up to, funny and unforgettable footage that you must see, no more clues as not to spoil it, now it's your turn to have a peek and be the judge, so get up grab your popcorn, get ready for a great time in front of the television with fantastic first class entertainment, Have you got it yet, gee your slow, stop reading this and sit back and relax don't forget to put your feet up. I rated this show an A grade plus for keeping me in one place long enough to enjoy a marvelous movie that will put a smile on your face.

This is for people who don’t understand the reasoning about Digital Copy, that they don’t get, it is housed inside the case of the Blu-ray movie, if they put it outside you wont even have to buy the movie, so I don’t think that Amazon would know when it expires, unless they open the case, even if they did, don’t think they would tell us, you would have to complain to the manufacturer for that, hope that helps, “I love this movie even though some parts were a little dull” I so totally respect “Will Ferrell”for not kissing Eva Mendes” in that scene when he invite Mark Wahlberg” over for dinner and he (Wahlberg) couldn’t stop looking at her Breast, I almost fell of the couch, couldn’t stop laughing, had to rewind to see what I miss, I mean who wants to kiss Eva Mendes and stop, not me, “Samuel L. Jackson” and “Dwayne Johnson” last hurrah was so freaking hilarious, it was so nice to see “Ray Stevenson” this guy should be the next Jack Reacher” No doubt about it, he’s got the height the look and the intensity in those eyes that would make it real, the guy is not as big a star as “Tom Cruise” is, even though I loved the one he did, but sometimes star power gets the best of you, I think I’ll go buy a Toyota Prius. you can watch this movie in so many forms on this Disc, it’s incredible, there is so much stuff here, plus. the gag reel is just as good as the movie, Widescreen 2.40:1 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. Runtime 116 Minutes. Laughter is the Best Medicine. Love It..

Very funny film. Arnie and Jamie Curtis are brilliant. Very funny. Buy it.

Hilarious
