I thought it was really funny. But Will Farrel IMO was the weakest part of it. He wasn't funny at all to me. I thought Marky Mark was much funnier. It was surprisingly good, but could have been much better.

My GF was the same as most on here. She didn't find it funny at first, but now, she does.

I thought it was hilarious from the beginning. Some people understand the humor. Some don't. Just like anchorman. Plenty of people thought that was stupid when it came out... i was laughing hysterically in the movie theater.

Marky Mark had me laughing the entire time. Scenes like when he kept telling Will Ferrell's wife (Eva Menedes) goodbye.

The Other Guys is probably the best American comedy since Dumb & Dumber.

This couldn't be any more off base:

The Other Guys isn't full of some sort of high-brow, intellectual, clever comedy. There's nothing to "get." It's pretty straightforward and you either like it or you don't. But just because you don't, it doesn't mean you're "missing" it or "not getting it." That's fricking laughable.

the argument about the lion and tuna fight was best 2 minutes of the show. The grandma relaying dirty pillow talk was awkward.

Love this movie. So many funny parts, agree with what alot said, it gets better each viewing.

When Wahlberg is typing on his computer and just randomly picks it up and smashes it. Hahahah, and Will says its "like working with the Hulk"

One of MY favorite lines:

DA-"How's the family Gene?"

Gene-" Great. My son's bisexual."

DA-"Tremendous!"
