Storyline
NYPD detectives Christopher Danson (Johnson) and P.K. Highsmith (Jackson) are the baddest and most beloved cops in New York City. They don't get tattoos, other men get tattoos of them. Two desks over and one back, sit detectives Allen Gamble (Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg). You've seen them in the background of photos of Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They're not heroes, they're "the other guys." But every cop has his or her day and soon Gamble and Hoitz stumble into a seemingly innocuous case no other detective wants to touch that could turn into NYC's biggest crime. It's the opportunity of their lives, but do these guys have the right stuff? |

This film is uneven, but the jokes that work are excellent. Whalberg is solid, however it is Ferrell's ability to rein in his excessive persona and deliver a relatively understated performance that sells the absurd humour. The film's attempts at social commentary, particularly the closing credit's corruption statistics, are incongruous with its satiric take on the buddy cop genre. That quibble aside, I enjoyed this film, which was energetic without being ridiculous, and often hilarious.
