111. The Other Guys

             The Other Guys suffers from what I like to call a case of the Previewitis. What is Previewitis? It is when you see a preview of a movie and think that is going to be one amazing movie only to see that movie and realize that you fell for a really well done trailer.
             The Other Guys is a movie starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg in a buddy cop movie. Except for this time Ferrell plays the straight man and Mark Wahlberg plays the crazy  out of control guy. You know I kept waiting for this movie to get really good. It never quite gels and takes off like one would hope or expected. There are some real funny parts. I actually enjoyed a more low key Ferrell and Michael Keaton was great as their boss.
             But The Other Guys ultimately lets down. Its like when you are really craving pizza and you have one delivered but when it arrives its kind of not put together well and lukewarm. That is what this was like. Really excited then just disappointing. But hey Im not expert. Im just some guy watching movies. I think it would have been funnier with SNL's Andy Samberg played Mark Wahlberg is this movie. Say hi to your mother for me!

Final Verdict: Not worth owning.

41. Kicking and Screaming

              Ok, well if you can get past the fact that Will Ferrell pushes a kid to the ground you will love this movie. No seriously, Will Ferrell is hit or miss for most people and this movie is no exception. The only exception is that his brand of Ferrell crazy is in the PG rating on this one.

too much coffee!

Ferrell plays Phil. Phil is a loser of a man who is so desperate to get back at his over competitive father that when he gets a chance to coach his son’s soccer team he takes it as his chance to get back at his dad. He even enlists the help of his dad’s arch enemy/neighbor Mike Ditka. Yes, THAT Mike Ditka.  Ditka takes the reins and tries to makes these kids winners. His tactics include having the kids wash his car and he gets some Italian boys to play on the team. But only after they are done with their Butching? for the day, MEAT FIRST.

get me a juice box!

                Some where along the lines Ferrell/Phil tries coffee for the first time. Coffee ends up being the trigger drug that turns Phil into a crazy, rantin' and ravin' psycho. Hence the pushing the kid to the ground and calling another kid “Fart face Jones” Again, if you think Ferrell is funny then you will love this. IF you don’t think the man child of Ferrell is funny, then you won't.   

 Final Verdict: Worth Owning.
