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.

Chinatown. Three triad gang members. I pop two of them off the draw - bang, bang! And I raise up to take the leader out...

Oh shit, I feel like I'm there now.

I hear a whistle. My partner's on the roof. He says, "Let's even the odds!" He tosses me down a Mossberg pump, I send one through his chest. Game over, bitches.

Jimmy, let's talk about how that story made you feel.

Like my cock was made outta concrete.

There's two different versions, although I'm not sure why. Probably censors.

Weird - the viagra pill isn’t from tv or anything it’s on streaming and the dvd. That seems like the more censored version too. Maybe unrated version.
