A hectic car chase is happening. They all crash into one another.

The NYPD holds a meeting about this. Then the story focuses on two officers. There is Allen Gamble, who is a mild-mannered forensics accountant. And then there is Terry Hoitz, a bad-tempered detective who became partners with Allen after accidentally killing Derek Jeter.

However, the NYPD considers Chris Danson and P.K. Highsmith to be the best police officers. Unfortunately, they end up falling to their death, despite how often they survived near-death experiences. Their funeral is held shortly after.

Then Allen and Terry discover that this British multi-billionaire, Sir David Ershon, has committed a scaffolding permit violation. They begin to investigate it – only to learn that it is much bigger than what they imagined.

They go to Allen’s house to discuss the case in more detail. Then they go to visit Allen’s ex, Christinith. There, they want to find out more police evidence. But it doesn’t work out since Christinith’s husband was hoping that Allen would spend quality time with her.

Later, their investigation begins. However, a bomb goes off, thus injuring Terry and Allen. Their investigation then has to pause because Ershon’s attorney, Don Beaman, learns that Ershon plans to cover his losses.

How will that go?

I laughed a decent amount of times throughout the film. Some of the funny moments included:

– When Ershon got Terry and Allen tickets to a Knicks game and the show, Jersey Boys

– When Christinith’s husband yelled at Allen and Terry for saying her name wrong

– When Terry told Allen at the beginning that if he were a lion and Allen were a tuna, he would go into the ocean and eat him

I admired Will Ferrell’s portrayal as Allen. However, I was not fond of Mark Wahlberg as Terry. I couldn’t see him fitting the role of a rude, obnoxious character after seeing him as a good guy in 2012’s Ted (which obviously came out after this one).

And unfortunately, this film was slow-paced, hard to follow at times, and boring during the second half. I, honestly, think that at least 10 minutes could’ve been removed.

Overall, The Other Guys was just okay. Although it is rated PG-13, it is heavy on foul language and sexual content. I, personally, think this movie is best suited for ages 15 and up.

I give this film 3 out of 5 stars.
