官方簡介：
兩位官運不順的紐約警探發現了一個能夠跟他們最崇拜的警探
一樣受歡迎的機會，但是事情的發展卻不像他們發展的那樣...

Analysis:
Will Ferrell's last movie, the big-budget adaptation of Land of the Lost,
was a box office failure, grossing a relatively meager $49.4 million and
receiving a "C" grade from Box Office Mojo readers. Combined with a rocky
recent track record, it appeared like Ferrell's box office draw was
decreasing. This August, though, Ferrell reteams with director and frequent
collaborator Adam McKay for the buddy cop comedy The Other Guys.

威爾法洛的上部片－高成本的"失落之地"，是一場票房大失敗
只回收了4940萬美金，而且在BoxOfficeMojo網站上只獲得Ｃ的評價
比對最近如山脈般不平穩的紀錄，有人會推論捲毛哥的吸引力正在減少中

不過，今年八月，法洛將會跟之前合作頻繁的搭檔亞當麥凱
再次合作推出警匪搭檔喜劇－Ｂ咖戰警

McKay previously directed Ferrell in Anchorman ($85.3 million), Talladega
Nights ($148.2 million), and Step Brothers ($100.5 million). Like The Other
Guys, each of these movies debuted in late summer, and each provided Ferrell
with strong support, whether it be the news team in Anchorman or John C.
Reilly in Talladega Nights and Step Brothers. The Other Guys follows this
pattern, teaming Ferrell up with Mark Wahlberg (along with high profile
support from Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson among others).

麥凱是法洛先前銀幕大角頭、王牌飆風與爛兄爛弟的導演
(這三部片只有銀幕大角頭沒有破億，但也有超過8千萬)
就跟Ｂ咖戰警一樣，這三部片都是在暑假的後半段上映
而且每一部都有強力的配角作為搭檔
無論是銀幕大角頭的新聞團隊(這部戲的配角群包括保羅路德與史帝夫卡爾)，
還是約翰來利連續在王牌飆風與爛兄爛弟的協助搞笑

Ｂ咖戰警也不例外，不過他將有新搭檔馬克華伯格，
以及山穆傑克森與巨石強森等其他明星的客串演出

Buddy comedies have generally been successful at the box office, with series
like Lethal Weapon, Men in Black, Rush Hour and Bad Boys leading the pack,
while the more comedic Starsky & Hutch also fared well ($88.2 million).
However, there have been a number of recent buddy cop failures, such as
Showtime ($38.1 million), Hollywood Homicide ($30.9 million), Taxi ($36.6
million) and The Man ($8.3 million). Also worth noting is that Kevin Smith's
similarly-themed Cop Out hits theaters in February, and its performance could
indicate audience interest in this type of movie.

搭檔型喜劇在歷年來的票房市場上，算是相當成功的片型
這些經典包括致命武器、星際戰警、尖峰時刻與絕地戰警
而笑點更多的警網雙雄(班史提勒+歐文威爾森)也有８千萬美金的成績
然而，最近也出現不少失敗的警匪搭檔喜劇，
包括好萊塢重案組、好戲上場、終極殺陣美國版與The Man(山穆傑克森+尤金李維)
值得注意的是凱文史密斯也將推出類似主題的"波利士很忙"
波片的表現或許可以暗示觀眾目前對這種片型的興趣度有多高

With the Meet the Fockers sequel now moved out of late summer and in to
December, The Other Guys will have little competition for the laugh-seeking
crowd. While there's no advertising material available yet for The Other
Guys, look for it to strongly push the reteaming of Ferrell and McKay along
with the on-screen pairing of Ferrell and Wahlberg. On the back of these
three alone, The Other Guys has a good shot at adding to the list of
Ferrell-McKay hits.

隨著門當父不對３將檔期延到１２月，
Ｂ咖戰警在暑假幾乎可說是沒有旗鼓相當的喜劇對手
雖然目前Ｂ片還沒有展開積極的宣傳
但由於法洛與麥凱的再次合作
以及法洛與華伯格在銀幕上的首次搭檔演出
結合這三個因素，Ｂ咖戰警很有機會成為法洛與麥凱的又一部賣座喜劇
