Turns out funnyguy Will Ferrell may not be that funny after all. At least that's what his The Other Guys costar had to say:

"He's not that funny in person," Mendes told our own Ben Lyons. "I didn't laugh once on this movie." Too bad Eva can't keep a straight face: [Laughs.] "These guys, to me, are like my dream team. [Director} Adam McKay is like my comedy god!"

Hit the clip to hear how Mark Wahlberg adapted to McKay and Ferrell's laid-back, let's-just-have-a-good time approach to making movies: "We'd be shooting for, like, five hours, and everybody would just be going crazy...just making s--t up. I'd be like, 'Are we gonna start shooting yet?' This is a long time to rehearse."
