After an insane and completely stupid chase scene (yet quite hilarious) by uber “cool” police detectives Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne (real name The Rock) Johnson, followed by the action cliché turned into reality in which they jump off a 20-storey building only to turn into pavement blotches, we realise that it is actually the Other Guys who happen to be the so-called heroes.
The Other Guys just happen to be “paper bitch,” Gamble (Will Ferrell) and the ludicrously angry, self-confessed “peacock” Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg). For obvious reasons, Prius driving Gamble is desk bound. Hoitz just happened to shoot Derek Jeter.
After arresting Steve Coogan’s, David Ershon for “scaffolding violations,” then losing him to Ershon’s own shady security team, the Other Guys decide to investigate this kidnapping, with Hoitz convinced it is related to drugs trafficking.
Along the way, they get to know each other. Hoitz realises Gamble just happens to be a babe magnet and a former pimp. And we discover Hoitz can dance (in the style of ballet).
Any way, back to the action. It seems that Ershon has not been kidnapped, or has he? Unfortunately, Ershon’s team keeps getting in their way, consistently taking our heroes shoes and guns. And on top of all this humiliation, their TLC song loving Captain (Michael Keaton) refuses to believe them.
After pregnancies, Prius orgies and insane drunken binges, our dejected heroes decide to investigate off the grid and find out what’s really going on. Turns out, Ershon is targeting the Police Pensions Fund to pay-off a host of baddies who just happen to be after him. Unfortunately for everyone concerned, he’s no longer in control.
To conclude, this is a great buddy cop movie with a great supporting cast. I particularly liked it, because the jokes are not unbearably crude.
