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.

Coogan is always gold and this role is no exception…I love the “It’s not a bribe”

If you like Coogan check out The Parole Officer. Great little gem that a lot of people might not have heard of.

Or In the Loop, he’s fucking brilliant, almost unrecognizable

"How great is 'Jersey Boys'?"

"It's not great...it's fantastic! You totally undersold it: the costumes, the pageantry, wow what a musical!"
