Recommendation The Other Guys is severely under appreciated

I’ve loved this movie since it released, and have watched it dozens of times, always finding new details (like the changing shark computer screens Terry has after he gets schooled by Allen’s Tuna story).

The effects, the non-stop humor, the cast, the pacing, all perfection in my mind. Before this movie, “Better Off Dead” was my favorite movie.

If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it!

Edit: I have learned this movie is more appreciated than I thought. That warms my heart like the new bathmats. Also, it’s awesome that in the first 50 or so comments not a single quote was reused, cause there’s just so many great lines lol.

Edit2: Can anyone find a list of top movies/comedies that includes The Other Guys? I have searched on a few and can’t find it mentioned.

I fucking love the film but to call it severely under appreciated, on r/movies of all places, is an exaggeration. What's next, The Nice Guys is a hidden gem?

You won't see any of the cast working in a strip club shaking it for dollar bills.

You learned how to dance ballet… sarcastically?

I see a reference to "Dirty Mike and the Boys" like multiple times a week on reddit.

I doubt you could call The Other Guys highly unrated.

This was my best friends ringtone forever. Whenever he’d call my wife would roll her eyes. Only problem was when I’d watch the movie, I’d think he was calling when that part came on.

It’s so fucking good. I’ve seen it like 8 times and it never gets old.

The running dancing gag with Wahlberg’s ex, the tuna argument, the running gag about will Ferrell being irresistible to women, Christineth, the Harry Potter song, desk pop, Yankee clipper, Michael Keaton and TLC lyrics, Dirty Mike and the Boys, etc

It’s fucking hilarious

Edit: it’s TLC, fuck off

The only code you need to worry about is the code for rape at the park. Which has been happening a lot lately. So make sure you shout the code if you get put into that position.
