Editorial Review:
Brennan Huff, a sporadically employed thirty-nine-year-old who lives with his mother, Nancy. Dale Doback, a terminally unemployed forty-year-old who lives with his father, Robert. When Robert and Nancy marry and move in together, Brennan and Dale are forced to live with each other as step brothers. As their narcissism and downright aggressive laziness threaten to tear the family apart, these two middle-aged, immature, overgrown boys will orchestrate an insane, elaborate plan to bring their parents back together. To pull it off, they must form an unlikely bond that maybe, just maybe, will finally get them out of the house.
Crude, juvenile, and proud of it, Step Brothers stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as two 40-year-old men, both living at home and leading the lives of 13-year-old boys, who are thrown together when their single parents (Mary Steenburgen, Parenthood, and Richard Jenkins, Six Feet Under) get married. Brennan (Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly) start out hating each other as only teenage boys can--but things get even worse for their long-suffering parents when they become best friends. Step Brothers gets most of its mileage from very lowbrow humor, but hidden among the farts and masturbation jokes is the suggestion that while these guys may be emotionally arrested, so are Brennan's hotshot business executive brother (Adam Scott, Tell Me You Love Me) and his high-fiving frat-boy pals, just in a way that's condoned because it makes money. Also crucial is that Ferrell and Reilly capture adolescence in all its gruesome glory--the awkward insecurity but also the egomaniacal, arrogant self-centeredness. Mind you, this isn't the American version of The 400 Blows or anything--one of the movie's setpieces features Brennan tea-bagging Dale's drum set (and if you don't know what tea-bagging is... well, you will after seeing this movie). All in all, Step Brothers combines the adolescent humor of producer Judd Apatow (Superbad, Knocked Up) and the comic chemistry of Ferrell and Reilly (who previously costarred in Talladega Nights)--fans of either will find plenty to enjoy. --Bret Fetzer

- Hilarious!
I went into this movie not expecting much. Their last duo comedy was a so-so, Talladega Nights. But I was laughing almost from start to finish. This movie was a very unexpected surprise and was a lot of good laughs!

Rating:

- Crude but funny
Being a Will Ferrell fan, I was very disappointed in his last film "Semi-Pro." However, I thought this film brought back the craziness that I love about Mr. Ferrell and gave some great laughs. I saw this the night before my wedding with the guys in my wedding party and we all laughed like crazy. Good stuff!

- Wanted to laugh.. But finally only at the lousy film it turned out to be..
My daughter and I attended the saturday matinae today with appr. 100 others.. Only no one laughed when they should have.. Completely offensive garbage and I believe Wills' career is near completion.. Hollywood just seems to cannot get it right these past several years now.. Seems it must be vulgar/rude/filth to acquire taste.. Pure Junk.. And "Walk Hard".. worse, if it can be..

- Hilarious From Start to Finish
There are some people you can count on to always make you laugh, and Will Ferrell is the king. His movies might be somewhat predictable, but there is nothing wrong with being able to predict that a movie will improve your mood. He has excellent chemistry with John C. Reilly who is quickly establishing himself to be a master comedian himself. Together they are Brendan (Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly), two forty-year-old men who still live with their parents. They have no intentions to change their station ... Read More

Rating:

- The race to the bottom of the barrel.
Just how pointlessly crude, boorish, and sexually sophomoric can Judd Apatow-sponsored movies get? They've been on a downward spiral for some time, which isn't necessarily damning all by itself. What damns these films is that they're getting less and less creative, and less and less funny, along the way. Unless, of course, you have an endless appetite for coarse bodily functions displayed by piggish losers. Me? I've had enough. Time for the pendulum to swing back to smart comedies. Even mildly smart. ... Read More
