The Other Guys received mostly positive reviews from critics, garnering a 79% "Certified Fresh" rating from top critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus being "While not the best collaboration between Will Ferrell and Adam Mckay, The Other Guys delivers bursts of comedy during a summer devoid of laughs." Peter Travers of Rolling Stone praised the film, saying, "Don't let anyone spoil the wildly hilarious surprises. Ferrell and Wahlberg will double your fun. Guaranteed." Some critics praised The Other Guysas the best police film of the year, comparing the film to the critically panned Cop Out, with Richard Roeper stating, "Note to Kevin Smith: THIS is how you do a spoof of the buddy-cop genre," and Stephen Whitty of The Star-Ledger said in his mixed review, "Measured against this year's other police farce - remember Cop Out? - it looks absolutely heroic." The Other Guys also received the "Best Comedy Film" award for 2010 at the first annual Comedy Awards.
