1. Is that Dwayne Johnson playing another Agent 23 role instead of actually headlining an ass-kicking movie like we all wish he would?
2. Looks like Sam Jackson is good with being in the “parodying himself on purpose” phase of his career.
3. Yep, that’s definitely Will Ferrell being very Will Ferrell-esque. Again.
4. Eva Mendes portraying the girlfriend / wife. That’s new.
5. Holy shit, was that a Michael Keaton sighting?
The trailer is over at Yahoo! Movies. The Other Guys opens on August 6th. Thanks to Brian for the tip.

Why are you so bitter? That looks hilarious!
6.- Look, is that a bitter CHUD writer underminding a movie that everybody else seems to be psyched about?
They cast actors in roles they are generally good at playing? FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD
I don't get the negativity on this one. the film looks funny.
Looks like David Oliver is playing the Devin role. Again.
Word to every other post on this page. This site is turning into such a negative shithole. The last thing I remember reading that really got me stoked was Nick's Avatar review. It was enthusiastic and excited and didn't dwell on lesser points, although they WERE mentioned. So yea, plug up your bleeding vaginas dudes. Everybody's sick of it. And The Other Guys trailer is funny, but I'm quite certain the whole thing is going to be leagues above this, as McKay films are usually wont to do.
This looks pretty damn funny. This minute and half trailer was already far better than the entirety of Cop Out.
Well said, Fuckface. (man, that should be a movie quote) This movie looks both fun and funny. Who cares if something familiar because it's familiarly good.
Hell yeah! David Wallace is in this! "SUCK IT!"
I'm going to side with the site on this one. Looks pretty funny, but it also looks like the most formulaic thing that McKay & Ferrell have done so far.
Looks pretty funny (albeit familiar) and in no way deserving of the biting cynicism in your writing. Seriously dude, you get to write about movies for a living, stop sounding like fucking David Mammet. Not to turn this into a diatribe against CHUD but this whole site has just turned so negative. Bring Dave Davis back.
looks better than Talladega Nights, anyway. that movie was pretty ho-hum to me.
David? You're an asshole. Don't mean to offend you, just thought you should know.
Tutorial: Satire is cynical by nature. This site's writers approach their job with a satirical bent. So a lot of the articles are a little cynical. Yeesh!
The ENTIRE reason I appreciate Chud is that they have a very limited patience for half-assed assembly-line product that Hollywood dishes out year after year, and they back up their critical jabs with lots of editorial content about film history, about the movies they love, and about the current state of the business. Their snark comes from a healthy place.
@#14: Great stuff, but unfortunately all that would come under heading of "lesser points" for posters like #6. The film does look fun though, and how about that: I didn't require a Knowles-esque idiot nerdgasm to get me interested in it.
Waaaaaah! Why is CHUD so mean, mommy? Go read E!Online you pansies, you disappoint me more than you did your parents.
I agree with CHUD on this one too. I'm sorta done with Ferrell's schtick. He can still pull it out of the bag from time to time but it's all getting a little predictable. All that trailer has really made me feel is MORE Michael Keaton please! Keaton is great and I reckon the guy has some really great roles to be had yet. Someone harness what that man has got. Quickly.
"The ENTIRE reason I appreciate Chud is that they have a very limited patience for half-assed assembly-line product that Hollywood dishes out year after year" Then they give positive reviews to shitty movies like GI Joe, Harry Potter, and Punisher: War Zone because they may, or may not have got a set visit. And they pimp out predictably shitty movies like Scott Pilgrim and Kick – Ass as though they are the cinematic masterpieces people like Scorsese could only dream of making. It's called balance. This site needs a little more of it to be taken seriously. Ferrell in a role he's made a lot of money on entertaining a lot of people is no less predictable and formulaic then the action scenes in Kick Ass that have been done (better) a billion fucking times before.
12, I just wanted you to know I spread my butt cheeks as Mike Honcho.
This site loves to just gives us the goods (aka movie news), but LOOOOOVES to just pick it the fuck apart.
Youre a "reporter"! Just report the trailer! No one gives a shit about how you feel about it!
I like the trailer. I liked what David Oliver had to say about it equally. Internet sarcasm never translates well, so it's ok if others were offended because we understand.
@65.504: "you disappoint me more than you did your parents"
Um, was that supposed to be an insult? Dude, that came out all wrong, you gotta work on that 🙂 Maybe you meant something like "You disappoint me almost as much as you did your parents" or something?
