The Other Guys

The first half of "The Other Guys" was pretty much hi-larious, then the plot sort of slows down the laughs in the 3rd quarter, but ends up okay in the 4th quarter.  The movie featured lots of hard-hitting acting stunts, too.  Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg played off one another well, milking a lot of laughs from the writing through their character's line delivery and poking at each other's foibles.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a comedy actually providing a lot of laughs from a funny script that was performed well by its supporting cast as well.

There is a small scene at the end of the credits, and the actual end credits do a better job of highlighting Michael Moore's points in his documentary "Capitalism: A Love Story".

I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
