For those of you waiting for Will Ferrell to do for police work what "Blades of Glory' did for skating, "Talladega Nights" did for stock car racing and "Semi-Pro" did for basketball, your wait is nearly over.

The Other Guys (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386588/)

Will Ferrell is NYPD Detective Allen Gramble, Forensic Accounting Department. He idolizes top Detective Manzetti (played by Samuel L. Jackson).

Coming in August. Time to look for trailers.

I just watched the movie and I laughed hysterically. One of Will's better movies.

Like Talledega Nights or Anchorman good?

I didn't think so. I thought it was ok, but nothing special. You see nearly all the funny parts in the trailer.

I thought Will Ferrell's performance was corny.

Tried to watch it last night on cable with the mrs who is also in the job. Thought we'd get a few laughs out of it. Turned it over after half an hour.

Don't care for him at all. I don't find him that funny or much of an actor.

I agree that it was boring at first, but I do think that it got good towards the end.

If you guys want to see the same kind of movie, but better then check out "Cop Out". I really enjoyed that movie even though Tracy Morgan was kind of corny also.
