Television stars in feature films are all the rage this week, with actors from The Office, The Cleaner, Californication, Happy Town, Leverage and two actors from 30 Rock getting leading roles. Of course, in a lot of these cases, we'd rather watch them on TV for free.

"Say hi to your money for me!" Mark Wahlberg became intimately familiar with the contents of America's wallets this weekend as one half of The Other Guys along with co-star Will Ferrell. The film is mostly marketed as a Will Ferrell picture, and is being compared to Anchorman and Talladega Nights in terms of box-office take and overall hilarity, but Wahlberg was equally key, and the pair had great chemistry together. Still, the movie's nearly $36 million take erased memories of Ferrell's last movie, the flop Land of the Lost (which was still reasonably funny) and doubled the amount of money made by Cop Out in its opening weekend. And rightly so!

Being an adult, I have not seen the previous two Step Up films. I do, however, watch So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars and Dance Your Ass Off, so I'm basically a professor of dance by this point, and I can tell you that the dancing in Step Up: 3D is as entertaining as it is three-dimensional. So, a lot, on both counts. I'm not sure why the rest of it bothers, but obviously this movie wasn't exactly trying to revolutionize the genre.

In all the ways that count, The Other Guys is a standard Will Ferrell movie. It features absurd scene resolutions, conversations about conversations, and violent vocal outbursts a-plenty. But it may be the funniest one yet. I know, I know, Anchorman, Elf and Talladega Nights are all pretty damn funny, but there's nothing like seeing a fresh movie for the first time to eclipse everything that came before. At the very least, this movie is just as funny as anything Will Ferrell has ever done, thanks to hysterical performances by Mark Wahlberg and Michael Keaton, and possibly even more ridiculous and nonsensical. Seriously, there are moments in the film where you will literally say, out loud, "What the hell?!" Okay, you'll probably use stronger language, but I'm assuming there will be kids around -- it's PG-13, after all.

Everybody is talking about how creative and original Christopher Nolan's Inception is, but it turns out Gyro Gearloose thought of it first. The inventor/anthropomorphic goose actually invented his own shared-dreaming device back in 2004, in an Uncle Scrooge comic book, and the Beagle Boys tried to use it to get the combination to Scrooge's giant money vault. Did Nolan read a Disney comic book six years ago and forget about it? Or did somebody plant it in his brain while he was sleeping? Out of curiosity, we skimmed through our comic book collections to see what's what, and found that all of Nolan's movie plots can actually be traced back to kids' comic books and comic strips. Scandal!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid actually would have been a good alternate name for Kick-Ass, although Diary of a Wimpy Kid with a Pair of Police Batons might have been more accurate.
