Official Plot Synopsis:

Set in New York City, The Other Guys follows Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell), a forensic accountant who’s more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, and Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg), a tough guy who has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since an unfortunate run-in with Derek Jeter. Allen and Terry idolize the city’s top cops, Danson and Highsmith (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson), but when an opportunity arises for the Other Guys to step up, things don’t quite go as planned.

The Other Guys is directed by Adam McKay (Step Brothers, Anchorman, and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby).  The Other Guys lands in theaters on August 6, 2010.
