Let's just say it: it's not been the greatest stretch of comedy for Will Ferrell. His last three films, "Land of the Lost," "Step Brothers" and "Semi-Pro," were all unmitigated disasters, and "Blades of Glory" before that was mediocre at best. "The Other Guys," Ferrell's buddy cop action comedy, is salve for Ferrell fans' wounds, if not a complete return to the glory days. Ferrell plays Allen Gamble, your stereotypical by-the-books desk jockey cop whose career highlight is his captain replacing his gun with a wooden replica after he fires it inside the station. His partner Terry (Mark Wahlberg) is sort of a denser Martin Riggs, a wannabe hotshot without the brains to complete the package.
