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. Amazon.com: 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 Stills from Step Brothers (click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Step Brothers tops Anchorman I liked Anchorman - I really did...but I never put it on the top of my "favorite comedy" list. Talladega Nights was HORRENDOUS. Step Brothers, however, is on top of that list. A friend and I went to see this movie on opening night - we got there just as the previews were on the screen. Unfortunately, it was a packed house and we had to sit in the very first row. Of course, I was concerned (I hate hate hate sitting in the front row)... But I have to tell you...there is no ending to the FUNNY in this movie. Had Ferrell or Reilly dropped or even wavered character at all in this movie, it would have been a huge FAIL. I laughed throughout. As for the negative reviews - you can't sit down and watch an Apatow movie and NOT expect crude humor. Apatow has tapped into a formula of humor that Hollywood was needed for many years. We grew into and out of stupid-funny Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey movies...we are now into the next-generation of comedy. This movie is full of WIN. Definately a must-see. Rating: - 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! Rating: - 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.. Rating: - 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 in life, but they are resentful of each other until they realize just how much they have in common. Chaos ensues as the two team up to make everyone's life impossible. It is always fun to see a movie that was obviously made by people who enjoyed making it. I have no doubt that there were as many laughs behind the scenes as this movie provokes. Thankfully, this movie was rated R and let the boys do some things they would have otherwise been restricted from. Most notable is all of the swearing that is peppered in to punctuate funny moments. The sleepwalking scene is genius and the interviews are even better than the teaser clips in the trailer. Typically, these movies wind down a bit toward the end and feature a sentimental climax, but this movie never lets down on the comedy even when the loose ends are tied up. A riot from start to finish, this is a stupid-funny comedy that you won't want to miss.
