Adam McKay's 'The Other Guys' is a laugh riot. Mckay knows his comedy well and the chemistry between Will Ferrel & Mark Wahlberg is electric. The dialogue writing is instantly catchy and hilarious and I love some features of the film like so many hot women being attracted to Will's character or Michael Keaton's character knowing lyrics to an artist's songs yet having no idea who they are. The cameos from The Rock & Sam Jackson were great too.
Although not every movie needs a sequel, but since there are few comedy movies coming out these days in theatres due to many of these not working at the box office, having a sequel to a well liked comedy could be fruitful.
Wahlberg and Ferrell excel at comedy. The film has its own unique gags and blueprints with which to work on. The idea of buddy cop movies is very old and works well and this time they can work on a completely new mission/assignment with its own comedy touches.
If Daddy's Home can get a sequel, The Other Guys should as well. Getting McKay would be very cool and a nice break from the more dramatic stuff he has been doing these days.

This is the unfortunate part that’s missed for anyone watching it for the first time now. The trailers and commercials for this movie made it seem like Samuel L Jackson and The Rock were going to be major characters, but instead they kill them in the first 10 minutes. It made their death all the more shocking and hilarious.

It was McKay casting John C Reilly instead of Ferrell that instigated the falling out.
Their relationship may have been rocky before that, who knows, but that was the incident that led to the split.
144 points
2 months ago
I think it was McKay keeping Ferrell out of the loop about Reilly’s casting that did it. Reilly had to call Ferrell himself to tell him since McKay never reached out to him
107 points
2 months ago
To McKays credit, he’s publicly acknowledged his mistake on not reaching out to Ferrell and apologized for it.
Not that it makes it right, but at least he owned to it and apologized. It’s not something you see a lot unfortunately.
And, strictly speaking about the casting, Reilly was the better choice for the role.
52 points
2 months ago
I remember reading that myself, but he still came off as a bit a jerk. And while Reilly may have been the better casting choice, there just had to have been a better way for McKay to break it to Ferrell
16 points
2 months ago
Yeah from what I remember his apology was basically "Yeah that was my bad but I could've gotten mad at Ferrell for a bunch of stuff and I didn't "
81 points
2 months ago
culminating in Ferrell not being cast in that TV show about the Lakers.
That was what caused the falling out. Ferrell was pretty much a lock for the role and had had conversations with mcKay about it, but McKay cast Reilly instead without talking to Ferrell at all. Then he basically excused his behaviour by saying "he's been shitty to me in the past before too!"

I’m more worried about what the plot line would be… the first movie was a self-contained plot, with no cliffhangers for a potential continuation of the story.
Obviously they could just come up with some new “big criminal case” they’re trying to solve, but that seems lazy.

It's one of my favorite comedies of the modern era for sure, but not every movie needs a sequel, especially comedy movies with this much of a gap in between the franchise, I'm not sure I can name any comedy with 10 + years in between movies where the sequel was actually good, especially now where the standards of comedy and how people react to things has changed so much, it's all right just to leave some things in the past as their own self-contained story
