OK, here's a Will Farrell movie I actually liked. It's a nice concept: two mismatched NYC detectives, a nerd with surprises (Farrell) and an old timer with surprises (Mark Wahlberg), team up to try to become as good as their idols on the force. A send-up of '80's cop buddy movies, it's totally silly and over the top, a romp. It's great to see Wahlberg in a comedy, the wonderful Michael Keaton in a dual role as both police captain and Bed, Bath and Beyond manager, and, as always, great to see Eva Mendes, especially when she's being just as silly as the boys. Rated PG-13. 107 minutes. Adam McKay - Director / Writer, Chris Henchy - Writer, Patrick Crowley - Producer, Jimmy Miller - Producer, Oliver Wood - Cinematographer, Jon Brion - Composer, Clayton Hartley - Production Designer, Brent White - Editor. Distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Principal actors: Will Farrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton.
