Review of Step Brothers

Director Adam McKay's third feature length collaboration with Will Ferrell falls some way short of their previous efforts, Anchorman and Talladega Nights, but it's still a joy to be in the company of, and considerably better than, say, Ferrell's Semi-Pro of the previous year. The film reunites Ferrell and Talladega Nights co-star John C. Reilly to tell the tale of two unemployed men who still live with their parents and are thus forced into what ...
...to meet, fall in love and get married. The film very much runs along the lines of similar kids-who-hate-each-other-but-come-to-love-one-anot her-in-the-end pictures, the joke being, of course, that Reilly and Ferrell are quite clearly grown men. This central gag is milked for all its worth, and the pair's antics - running the gamut from the gleefully absurd to the psychotic - are frequently hilarious. What Stepbrothers brings to the fore is the ...

Review of Step Brothers

...C Reilly play the two step brothers Brennan and Dale and they really are very good in the role. They completely suit the type of actor needed for this role in the way they pull off the actions and the way in which they come across as still being like young children. The roles of the parents are played by Mary Steenburgen and Richard Jenkins of which I would say was again a good choice. They do well at showing how they try to make it work having their ...
...other actors that stood out for me were Kathryn Hann Adam Scott who played the roles of Brennan's brother Derek and sister in law Alice. There is a scene involving them and their two children Tiffany and Tommy, played by Elizabeth Yozan and Lurie Poston all singing in the car which is highly amusing and they managed to pull off this scene very well with the singing and the way they all acted at the same time! I personally thought the cast did very ...

...my friend suggested we rented Step Brothers on DVD i was a bit apprehensive as i hadnt heared of it before. But when we watched it we were both in stitches of laughter. In my opinion its a good comedy and i would watch it again. i thought Will Ferrell's performance was good, and i'm not even a fan. With bothe the lead characters in there 40's and acting like spoiled teeneagers was surprisingly funny to me, its not something thats often done (i dont ...

Review of Step Brothers

I recently watched this movie in the cinema and laughed the entire way through. It is definately the funniest film i have seen for a good few months - so good that i went back to see it for a second time!! The Story Line... Brennan Huff (Ferrell) is a 39 year old unemployed loner who lives with his mother Nancy. Dale Doback (Reilly) is a 40 year old who is also an unemployed recluse who lives with his father Robert. Robert and Nancy get married ...
...Brennan and Dale decide immediate that they hate each other, triggering several hilarious arguements and fights between the pair. This leads them to see that they actually have very much in common - their habits likes/dislikes are pretty identical. Their poor and very unsuccessful attempt to get jobs leads to the formation of "Prestige Worldwide" - their own music production company. This creates havoc when they make a video aboard Roberts boat, ...

Review of Step Brothers

...up directed to the film Step Brothers instead. I didn't realise until after a few minutes that it was a completely different film but decided to give it a go anyway. Boy, am I glad I did - I had the most fun for the next hour or so that I have done all year watching something. It had me cackling out loud with laughter and I normally don't like the laugh a minute American movies. The storyline is simple and even the looks of two 40 somethings with ...
...of laughter. Basically Will Ferrell (Brennan) and John C Reilly (Dale) are two 40 year old sons who have never left home, they've never worked and they still act like teenagers. When their parents decide to move in together, all hell kicks off - neither like the other parent and worse yet - the kids hate each other. They become embroiled in various tit for tat arguments which always have some great lines as well as some funny physical aspects. They ...

Review of Step Brothers

This is a comedy explosion between the well known Will Ferrell and John C Reilly (The River Wild). Ferrell stars as Brennan Huff whilst Reilly acts out the character of Dale Doback. The two grown men are forced to live with one another when their parents meet and marry. Huff and Doback spend their time arguing and pulling childish pranks on each other and share a bedroom like kids. Their antics become worryingly violent until Dale meets Brennan's ...

Without giving the plot away, the two men help each other to conquer their fears and realise their dreams, whilst causing strains between their parents new marriage. The humor is typical of Ferrell ...

Review of Step Brothers

Whether you like this movie or not will depend entirely on two factors; If you like Will Ferrell, and if you have siblings relatively close to your own age. I have a brother a year younger than me and I was nearly wetting myself laughing at points during this film, as Ferrell and his new 'step brother' create constant slapstick entertainment by simply mimicking the classic arguments between brothers and sisters around the globe! Once you get your ...
...something year old men have the brains of toddlers in this movie it presents itself as a true testament to the comical genius of Will Ferrell. His ability to create moments of hilarious comedy, by using outrageous and sometimes disgusting situations and turning the awkward tension of a scene into one of laughter is always a giggle to watch! Overall I loved the movie, and anyone who has a brother must watch it, if even only to re live the moments ...

The two continue to live the way they want to the dismay of their parents. I would love to say more but i don't want to ruin the ending!

Brennan - I said aside from that! Dale - Dad! just give us a 10,000 dollar investment! My thoughts I don't usually like movies with this much swearing and references to drugs but I LOVED THIS MOVIE! The comedy doesn't get old at all and there are so many funny parts that are not in ...

...very long time! The two step brothers work brilliantly together with Ferrel stealing the show! The Cons The movie a lot of the time seems like the sceen is built on swear words, which I was okay with as this was what I expected, but I think a few people may find it very offensive. The film is quite presictable and its really the individual scenes that are funny, not the movie as a whole. The cast Will Ferrell ... Brennan Huff John C. Reilly ...

Review of Step Brothers

Ruder than Blades of Glory, cruder than Anchorman and funnier than Tallegda Nights, what more could you ask for from a film starring Will Ferrell? Ferrell and Reilly team up to provide the laughs in this film which despite having a predictable plotline is still hilarious! The film revolves around the characters of Brennan(Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly) who unwillingly become stepbrothers. This paves the way for scenes that offer juvenile comedy at is ...
...where one resorts to caressing a drumkit with his balls. Eventually the sibling rivalry subsides and and the two become 'best friends' even proposing to produce their own entertainment company- which offers the best parady of a rap video 'boats and hos', comedy genius! By the end of the film the joke has begun to lose the impact that it had at the beginning and the ending is pretty clunky. Having said that this is a film that made me laugh all the ...

Review of Step Brothers

I must say this film was far funnier than i was expecting, usually the movie trailers show you the best parts of the film, this was not the case here, far funnier than previewed. As far as acting goes it was very good, I'm mixed about Will Ferrell and his performances in movies, some are funny some are not (semi-pro), but he proved himself here and played an excellent role and restored my faith in him. John Reilly also played an excellent role and ...
...you feel like your own childhood mischievous but watching 40 year old men do it is far more funny. The story is a bit weird but hey it's a movie, the script was very funny and has alot of lines that you will remember from will and john and scenes such as the tree house magazine looking and the bed-bunk accident. The ending is the usual movie ending, happy ever after but you wouldn't really want to end any other way since you start to support and ...
