The Other Guys
This takes place in a particular moment, in history
Titus Pullo plays an ex Aussie SAS trooper.. That is ex SAS not ex Australian
Steve Coogan has a moment, of pure Partridge, God, you forget how young Steve C actually is, your used to seeing him in his mid 50's in the late 1990's when his hair is felt, and he exclaims, hot VO5 oil
Kylie gets a name check, as an Aussie meme
The film is a bit of a parson’s egg. Its good in parts. However there are I think too many skits. Part of Ferrells back story are overused.
The other guys'' are the supporting cast, to two NYPD maverick detectives played by the Rock ( Dwayne Johnson, and Samuel, Jackson). They are the wise cracking, Kim Kardashian dating pair. Beloved of the city. ( Did anyone else think of Demolition Man, when they are asked about wrecking the city to enforce a pot bust)
When the two hot shots are killed off, the other guys try to take their moment. They are a missed matched pair. Ferrell is an NYPD accountant, and Walberg is playing a high flying cop, who made one mistake
Can someone say. Michael Keaton and comeback? Keaton is playing their Captain
I knew Bed Bath and beyond from Glee!
I am not sure Mark Walberg, was correctly cast here. I have not seen the Departed, one day I need to clear my schedule and watch it. I have read since that this is a riff on his role, in that movie.
I have a feeling it was supposed to Willis, rather than Walberg but his age, and ``Cop out’’ just got in the way
Good spoof, on Irish songs/Irish rebel songs. ``Five British soldiers had her, but it was consensual''.
Unlike say Stepbrothers. This film is set clearly after the 2008 crash. The baddie is an insider dealer. Also Will Ferrell's character is working on an I-phone application.
So this film is firmly set in time....

The two detectives go drinking in an Irish bar. (Walberg asks Ferrell if he realizes all those songs are depressing)
TLC are also named checked. It is the 1990’s all over again.
The other guys was good in part. It’s not as good as Anchorman, or Stepbrothers, but better than a lot of stuff out there. It is perhaps over long and uses too many set pieces
