Flick2 Movie Review: The Other Guys


I watched "The Other Guys" last night and it sucked. Clear and simple, it sucked. Not since Land of the Lost has Will Ferrell disappointed me this much in a film. The plot was practically nonexistent and all of the good parts were already shown to you in the trailer. In fact, the trailer was more entertaining than the movie. Watch that instead, in fact, here you go, watch this, you'll be more entertained:

Anyway, wait for the DVD on this one, maybe an unrated and uncut edition, which they always make and should release in the first place, will be better.
