Ferrell and Wahlberg star as NYPD detective partners Allen Gamble and Terry Hoist, two of the department's wallflower members who have no choice but to fawn over the supercop antics of P.K. Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) and Christopher Danson (Dwayne Johnson) – two guys who love the job as much as they love themselves. But when Highsmith and Danson take their jobs too far over the edge, the department is in sudden need of a dynamic duo that can take their place.


In the film there are a lot of funny moments between Wahlberg and Ferrell.Their relationship never fully develops.Throughout the film Will Ferrell delivers most of the funny comments.Wahlberg is the type to be very comfortable with dry comedy as well as action.

The special features on the DVD include deleted and extended scenes.Another feature is "Crash and Burn".The director talks about mixing action with comedy and action.The director also illustrates how the stunts were filmed and accomplished. 


Directed by Ferrell's frequent collaborator Adam McKay, "The Other Guys" is loaded with many familiar faces and cameos, including a funny, ongoing joke in the film involving New York Yankee Derek Jeter. It's one of the year's best comedies.


Unfortunately, the DVD is lacking a commentary track. McKay and Ferrell are renowned for tracks that rival their films for hilarity, but for “The Other Guys,” they sat it out. 


Released to theaters in early August,"The Other Guys" teamed Mark Wahlberg with popular comedian Will Ferrell in a movie written and directed by Adam McKay, the filmmaker behind "Step Brothers" and "Anchorman." In McKay's first action film, "The Other Guys" was able to overcome the usual August lull at the box office to become the only action-comedy of the year to cross $100 million domestically.
