Suitable For Experienced Teenagers, Not For Young Children
I found "The Other Guys" to be somewhat humorous. It is most definitely your average new film with quite a bit of cursing and quite a few sexual innuendos. Both Will Ferrel and Mark Wahlberg did decent jobs acting, however I did find Will Ferrel to be lacking in good humor. Wahlberg just lacked in character, period. If you are the kind of person who likes semi-humorous films that you don't have to be locked on the screen to understand, this would probably be the movie for you. It is all together quite simple to follow; it just lacked in gut-busting humor. All together, the movie was not horrible, but I probably wouldn't recommend it to any comedy buff who is looking for a good laugh or two.

Great for teens, sooo not for younger kids!
There were good messages including loyalty, good over evil, etc... as well as some good role models. There was a lot of sex, and some pretty bad cursing. They also had a bunch of product placement! In a few scenes there is also visible alcohol, and cocaine, but all in all it's a pretty good movie for teens, and adults.

This a movie of absolute haliarty. This is the only movie that I thought was stupid whin I first saw it but after I recently saw it, I laughed my ************** off! (made up swear word X) Mark is the best in the movie putting the best funny quotes of the decade with a streight face is insane! Will is great with his usually quirky style but now with a great script to work with. Will ferrell is only stopped from making a great movie every time is a bad SCRIPT. Writers write better! Now. Watch this movie. (ps, the unrated version is just more dirty dioluge ( no extra swear words) This is the best comedy of the decade ever! Watch it okay?

waste of time
What a waste of time. Pimping? not funny. Shooting your gun in the office? not funny. Accepting bribes? not funny. This movie? NOT FUNNY.

A violent movie with a need for substance
it needs a little more plot, but there are gunshots and some mature things.

Buried underneath the car crashes and amazingly vulgar language is a clever mystery and a good story about two ordinary cops who do non-glamorous jobs in an effort to protect the people. But what my son took away from the film was the fact that it was loaded with some very salty language and lots of embarrassingly graphic sex jokes. Does PG-13 mean ANYTHING anymore? Or is it just a way to get more bodies into seats at what should be an R-rated film?!

i rate this title ON for ages 12+
The good stuff * Messages: The movie is very silly, but underneath the goofy stuff is the message that promise and heroism hide in the most surprising of personalities -- and that teamwork rules. There's also a key subplot about corruption and stealing, but they're not presented as admirable behavior. * Role models: The two main characters are bumbling types who just can’t get much right. But when they do, it’s amazing. They’re also fiercely loyal to each other, even if they don’t see eye to eye, and to their girlfriends/wives. What to watch out for * Violence: Plenty of violence, though much of it is played for laughs. Shootouts, explosions, fistfights, traffic accidents, a suicidal jumper, two men falling to their deaths. A car slams into a double-decker bus full of tourists. * Sex: A couple exchanges some fairly detailed, raunchy sex talk, with her mother serving as go-between; plenty of risque one-liners and references. A woman practically demands sex from a character while her husband is in another room. A man ogles his work partner’s wife’s cleavage. Discussions about how one character was a pimp in college. Ferrell's character sings a song called "Pimps Don't Cry." * Language: Many uses of "s--t," "a-s," "bi-ch," and “a--hole,” plus occasional uses of "d--n," "h--l," "godd**n," and "d--k." … * Consumerism: Mentions of VO Hot Oil treatments, Febreze, Grand Theft Auto, Toyota Prius, and more. Logos/signage for Bed, Bath & Beyond, Mister Softee, USA Today, and many more. * Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Cops race to a drug bust and wind up running over a big bag of cocaine, which explodes and coats their car.

I think this movie was pretty good . I had to see it at home though , instead of the theatres cause there Is one sex scene . There are a few references to sex and bad language . Mostly the s word . All in all it's good for anyone twelve and older.

Perfect for kids 12+
I loved it. I thought if was one of the most hilarious movies of the year and I don't think there is anything in that movie that no 12 year old has never seen or heard.

I don't think either my 13 or 16 year old sons were harmed by this movie
I just watched this with my sons 13 & 16.I personally had wanted to see it, and saw the rating of PG 13 so i rented it. It was a pretty funny movie if you like overly goofy and really off the wall comedy. Was great to see my sons laughter, But we all agreed there were some really detailed sexual references, and laughed our way through, I did however mute it at one point, my 13 year old laughed, and my 16 year old said I should have just covered the 13 year olds ears. I replied "Some things are better left to the imagination :) "All in all I had some good laughs with my sons, and I don't think either was harmed by this movie.

Oh I loved this film,I love Mark wahlberg,I love Will Ferrell. I thought it was very funny,there was a very big shock at the beginning,I wasn't expecting 'that big shock' at all.... I felt really sad for Ferrell because Wahlberg is really mean to him in this... Really sad... But if you are a fan of Wahlberg or Ferrell or BOTH you should see this. It has a lot of big stars in this film - Michael Keaton,Eva Mendez,Samuel L.Jackson and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Well I loved it,doesn't mean everyone else will ... ... :)

Should have been rated R!! Parents beware.
I usaully agree with the reviews on this site, but had to join just to review this movie. I absolutely agree with the previous parents comments. This is an R-rated movie from beginning to end. Between the extremely bad language throughout, raunchy sex jokes, I couldn't see much that was anywhere near PG-13. I would only recommend this for 16 and older. Don't waste your money...wait until it comes out on cable and don't invite your kids.
