DOG: Adam McKay Interview – The Other Guys

DOG: The Other Guys, the action comedy starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as second-string detectives in the NYPD, starts off as a pleasant, gag-laden farce, spoofing the genre with over-the-top stunts and a cheeky undermining of old-school heroics. The two leads, as we meet them, are desk-bound losers who handle the mountains of paperwork generated by the city’s law enforcement superstars, portrayed in stand-out cameos by Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson with eye-brows fully cocked.
