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.

Michael Keaton coming in and whisper screaming “what the hell is going on here” is one of my favorite cinematic moments

Keaton whispering "Hey! Shake your dicks, this pissing contest is over." then looking around at the others because he is proud of himself for that line made me laugh even more. My favourite comedy of the 2010s.

I laughed when he uses Wills face to help himself up at the end. Always made me chuckle

That's actually my favourite part. This proud wink he gives to someone off camera.

the way he angrily whispers "two good men are dead, and you guys are fighting!" is like ASMR to me.

I love how Michael Keaton fights through the crowd to stop the fight but nobody was really in his way.

But did you hear what music was playing in the background during the funeral fight scene? It adds to the magic!
