THE OTHER GUYS

I LOVE Will Farrell movies.  I mean I watch Step Brothers at least once every other week, and if Anchorman or Talladega Nights is on I will watch them as well.  So I was super excited that he had anew movie coming out this year called, "The Other Guys".  It stars Will Farrell and Mark Walburgh, you know Marky Mark.  This is a cop movie about partners who are looking to make their mark on the force instead of being a couple of paper pushers.  Sure it sounds really really funny.  And after seeing the previews I thought that this movie had a chance.  Then I realized that it was PG-13 and started to worry.  Then I went and saw the movie and I have to say that next to Land of the Lost this is the WORST Will Farrell movie out there.  This movie is trying so hard to be funny that it really isn't.  There is NO chemistry between Marky Mark and Will but they try soooooooo hard to make you believe that they have something and they just don't.  Marky Mark isn't much of an actor to begin with, but when you try to make him do comedy I would rather hear him rap, and he sucked at that too.  Sure this movie has plenty of the guys who made the last few Will Farrell movies funny but of course they suck in this one.  I really wanted to like this movie but the best part of this movie had to be me leaving the theatre.  I mean even the previews sucked before this movie, and my drink wasn't sweet enough either.  This was just an all around suckfest day at the movies.  So if your dense as hell or Dawn then let me spell it out for you  I HATED THIS STUPID DAMN HORRIBLE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
