Who’s in it? Michael Keaton, Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Rob Riggle, Damon Wayans Jr
What type of movie is it? Action Comedy
What certificate is it? 12A
What’s it about? Two mismatched New York City detectives seize an opportunity to step up like the city’s top cops whom they idolize – only things don’t quite go as planned.
Is it any good? Considering this is directed by Adam McKay, the brain behind Anchorman, Step Brothers and Talladega Nights this is a disappointment. Sure, there are a host of laugh out loud funny lines and bizarre quotes that you will hankering to try and remember to use in real life and amuse your mates … but this is far below par for Adam. The film’s opening sequence is stolen by Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson as the cops that Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg look up to and want to be - but even that short lived outlet for comedy gold isn’t mined as deep as it should be.
