Ferrell downplays his slapstick schtick this time as Allen Gamble, a downtrodden NYPD forensic accountant paired with Mark Wahlberg’s gung-ho cop Terry Hoitz. Goofy, inane, and juvenile Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s fourth collaboration, The Other Guys (opens in new tab) continues the silliness streak in arguably their most underrated outing. Plus, there’s a genius use of a licensed product to rival anything in The Lego Movie. While some gags will whoosh over the heads of younger audience members, but amid the apocalyptic chaos, there’s plenty that families will relate to, from dysfunctional disagreements to screen-time addiction to irritatingly perfect neighbors. She’s content to fly, but dad Rick (Danny McBride) spies a chance to mend their ailing relationship by driving her, cross-country, to her dorm room, along with mum Linda (Maya Rudolph), and brother Aaron (voiced by Rianda). The movie follows the titular family of four (plus pug), as teenage daughter Katie (Broad City’s Abbi Jacobson) prepares to leave home for film school.
need we say any more? Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's fingerprints are all over this animated movie from Gravity Falls alumni Mike Rianda. From the producers behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
