Now Playing: Stephanie Zacharek's Video Review of The Other Guys

Despite the Shyamalanian birthday festivities that have no doubt hijacked your day, here's hoping I can rope you out of celebratory mode for a few minutes to hear what Movieline's chief film critic Stephanie Zacharek has to say about The Other Guys -- a summer comedy that, Stephanie's estimation, could use some celebration of its own. Click ahead and have a look.

(NB: For those keeping score at home, the half-point discrepancy between this video -- which was taped earlier this week -- and Thursday's full-length review is intentional. As Stephanie explains: "The more I thought about it, the more charitable I felt toward it. [...] The grades are... well, as we've discussed, impressionistic. And sometimes mutable." Just for the record!)
