Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlburg are the other guys. They are the cops who are constantly being overshadowed by others and spend most of their time doing other people's paperwork. When they do try do something, they usually mess it up.

A seemingly trivial investigation leads them to suspect massive corruption, but they simply cannot prove it. It's not until they are totally disgraced and even on the run that they finally get the recognition they deserve.

If you've seen a police comedy before then you probably know the basic storyline, but Will Ferrell brings this film to life in the way only he can. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Samuel L Jackson play a small but important role in the film, but Ferrell and Wahlburg are the ones that make the film worth watching.

You'll enjoy this film, despite some crudeness at times. One to watch.
