    It's basically like an outtake from the Chinese restaurant scene. Honestly, I don't remember what they were talking about but at some point Marky Mark tells Ferrell to get the check and he does a fake Chinese phrase but not like the usual "ching chong chang" nonsense, instead he goes something like "sher shau" or something and Marky Mark and Will both start laughing and the crew starts laughing.

    Saw this yesterday at the early matinee, and was surprised - the theater was practially PACKED. Pretty amazing for the earliest show and it speaks to how much people were looking forward to it. There is lots of love out there for Anchorman and Talladega Nights, and once word got out that this movie was going to be more of the same crazy nonsense, then I think people were willing to give it a try.

    Overall, I will give it a 7.5 out of 10.

    It was definitely funny, and it will probably become one of those movies just like Step Brothers, Talladega Night and especially Anchorman that people will end up owning on DVD and watching a thousand times on cable, and a few years from now, coming across someone who HASN'T seen it will be pretty rare, just like the other movies. However, I rate this one more in line with Step Brothers than the other two, for basically one reason: Anchorman and (to a slightly lesser degree) Talladega Nights are extremely quotable movies. Anchorman especially is so filled to the brim with funny moments and iconic lines that it will live on in cinema history forever.

    But after watching The Other Guys, and laughing all the way through, and truly appreciative of the surreal qualities running through it, the one thing both my wife and I felt was that it just wouldn't stick in the mind like Anchorman simply because we were hard-pressed to think of more than one or two memorable lines or quotes. There will be a few, but not like the gold standard of Anchorman.

    Saw this last night, went into it not having read what it was about or seing trailers and man was it funny. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. It is up there with Anchorman, not funnier but right up there.
