Latest Update News About: The Other Guys, Robin Wright, The Other Guys Trailer, The Other Guys Review, Other Guys. As far as I know, “The Other Guys” is the only spoof of buddy-cop action movies that also happens to be furiously angry about inflated CEO salaries, Bernie Madoff and the federal bailouts of AIG and Goldman Sachs. Wait, I should probably start over. That makes “The Other Guys” sound like a Michael Moore flick. It is, in fact, the latest epically absurd, slightly overlong, pretty funny Will Ferrell comedy directed and co-written by Adam McKay (“Anchorman,” “Talladega Nights,” “Step Brothers”).
I thought “Step Brothers” was a bit of a coast for this team after the instant-classic insanity of “Anchorman” and the instant-classic dinner scene from “Talladega Nights,” so I’m happy to report that “The Other Guys” finds McKay back to trying something wildly ambitious with his comedy, and largely succeeding.
