I will now capture the essence of this film in three sentences. Have you ever seen Anchorman? If yes, then you might get a laugh or two out of this one. If no, then watch this, you will love it and once you are done, watch Anchorman because you will laugh your sides off.
That was two sentences. Well, you know what they say, sixty per cent of the time it works every time. Honestly, Will Ferrell is extremely funny, but I don't think it came out as much in this. On the other hand, Mark Wahlberg really stole the show here. If you have been reading my reviews, you will remember that monsieur Wahlberg can only play one character. Well this was perfect for him because normally when he plays the backstreet tough guy with nothing-to-lose attitude, he just looks silly and as credible as a koala pretending to be a grizzly bear. But let him play the same role in a film where this anger is supposed to look over the top and ridiculous and you have a combination worth gold.
It is a definite must-see film that will leave you rolling on the floor. Just try not to choke on your popcorn.
