Well, I wasted no time getting to work on this list.
Last night I stayed in and watched "The Other Guys." One of my friends told me that they were sure I would like it. I am more and more skeptical about Will Ferrell movies as time goes on (I'm not going to say 'sellout' or 'typecast'.....just that there's shall we say...repetition...in some of his roles.)
But, Mark Wahlberg is becoming a new favorite of mine, and the premise of this movie did seem pretty entertaining, so I went for it.
Um, it's hilarious. Laugh out loud by yourself in your apartment so that your neighbors are probably wondering what the heck is going on up there hilarious.
It's not the greatest movie ever made, but it's really funny.
It's so ridiculous and over the top, that it's entertaining. Ya gotta just go in with no cynicism.
And I wasn't sure how Marky Mark would do in a comedy, but ever since I saw this:
and this:
I have a hard time not laughing when I hear him talk. His character in this movie just yells a lot and is indignant most of the time, and I half expected a "say hi to your mothah for me" slip out.
So, next time you need a mindless, funny movie that you can bond with coworkers over by quoting in the office kitchen, try this one. If you don't mind language and violence and some crude conversation....hey I didn't say it was very redeeming. I said it was funny.
