The Other Guys is getting an A- in Entertainment Weekly.

About time there's a damned good movie this summer....

or did somebody plant this idea in my head?

don't get your hopes up Grid

I think it will be funny but going in with no expectations.

Ya, but the writer/director did two of Will Ferrell's funnier movies, so I'm very hopeful.

...plus they poke fun at my older sister's favorite bands, the Little River Band.

I opted for Mickey Rourke on Leno. Leno is so NOT funny... it was painful to watch his monologue.

This just in: Rourke is a weirdo. He cut his own hair too. Looks like a post Chernobylian 'doo.

you're going by "Entertainment Weekly"? no wonder you're constantly disappointed.

this is a typical buddy picture formula. it's a rental at best, i'm sure.

Does Owen Gleiberman still review for EW? That guy is totally unreliable.

Not only EW W_Z.... 3 stars in the Suntimes and RedEye. Nice numbers on RottenTomatoes.com also.

I just use reviews as the litmus test... If it's better than 2.5 stars, or 50% on RottenTomatoes, I'll usually at least see the movie at the theater, if below... rental action.
