Many hilarious moments in this: the deaths of Sam Jackson and the Rock, the TLC running gag (even if to be honest I only recognised some of the lyrics), Will Ferrel listening to Little River Band all the time, Will Ferrell’s history as a pimp. And there’s a strong satirical point – the end credits sticks it to the irresponsibility that contributed to the GFC. But for some reason this doesn’t work. The best bits feel like add-ons rather than stemming from the actual story; it seems to lack heart, or purpose or something. Maybe I’m just not a fan of the buddy cop genre, or maybe it’s something else – I’m not sure. I laughed out loud, the cast is outstanding (though Michael Keaton doesn’t really suit his role – needed someone crustier)… but it dragged.
