The Big Picture When thinking of Will Ferrell's collaborators, most people would immediately think of Paul Rudd, Adam McKay, and Steve Carell, and it is no coincidence that these allusions come from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. However, it is arguably Mark Wahlberg who has brought the best out of Ferrell in all of his performances, and vice versa, and this is clearest in Adam McKay’s buddy cop film The Other Guys. The duo works together perfectly.
Equally, Mark Wahlberg’s comedic chops are on full display, despite some people claiming Wahlberg himself isn’t funny in the film. Wahlberg has shined in comedic roles before, including bringing comedy to more dramatic roles. Ted and Pain & Gain are undoubtedly some of his best comedic performances. However, it’s The Other Guys that elevates Wahlberg.
What makes The Other Guys’ dynamic more prolific than Ferrell and Wahlberg in Daddy’s Home is that neither character has that combination of flaws and strengths in the latter. Wahlberg is always cool, and Ferrell is always a dork, and they mostly stick to these roles, only switching at the end when Dusty takes a leaf out of Brad's parenting book.
