Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Other Guys (2010)

The first half-hour is so RIDICULOUSLY hilarious. But then it gets weird. I mean super weird-weird. I'm not even sure of the vibe it was going for. Bums having "screw parties" in a Prius? A running joke about event ticket bribes? The police captain moonlighting at a Bed Bath & Beyond?

I'm not saying that there weren't jokes to be had even in the midst of the weirdness, but it felt more like a series of skits than a cohesive story.
