Product Description:
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.

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

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I want Fancy Sauce!
This movie is great, when everyone's at the dinner table and John C Riley's character is eyeballing his Step Brother putting the Fancy Sauce on his chicken nuggets. I don't know why but I laughed my butt off. The scene following with them 2 of them in their beds arguing back and forth is also great. When the mother acts her Step Son Dale (John C Riley)

"So Dale what have you been working on lately?"
"I've been managing a baseball team"
"Little League?"
"Fantasy League"

Both John & Will play their characters almost perfectly, you really believe they're a couple of 40 year old losers. I would imagine a couple of 10 year olds who are new "Step Brothers" would act very much like the 2 in this movie, only they're 40. Another highlight is their old school Beastie Boy sounding song "Boats N Hoes" very hilarious. I would buy the mp3 if it was down loadable.

The movie does have some down parts, but it has a ton of laughs.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - When Dumb And Dumber Became Step Brothers!
Honestly, I think I just watched my favorite Will Ferrell movie. In fact, I'm sure of it.

Once again (after the somewhat successful Talladega Nights) director Adam McKay and actors Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have made one of the funniest films I've seen in years. Ferrell and Reilly play two 40 year old men that never, ever left the house due to their single enabling parents who meet, marry, and move the entire clan in together. At first the two men are quite humorously confrontational, but thanks to their similar immaturity and downright stupidity find a common bond and cause chaos in their parents' newly married lives. But soon they're faced with either growing up or getting out. They are just downright hilarious in these roles, and the cast of supporting characters, including Ferrell's younger more successful real-life brother and his sex-starved wife, really brings this movie to a great flow and the humor ranges from chuckles to gasping for air.

To be honest though, if you're over twenty-five and still live with your parents, this film might make you uncomfortable, and it should. This might be your future. But for those of us that are in the 40-ish range, watching these two you can't help but to laugh at and with them. The disc itself has alot of special features too like a hilarious gag-reel, documentary (great for learning about the process of on-set ad-libbing), and a line-o-rama reel of all the choices of one liners that didn't make the cut (and 90% are actually ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT MOVIE, well worth the money!!!
I saw this movie three times in theaters and now own it on Blu-Ray. I am a huge fan of Ferrell and Reilly so my expectations were very high... I was pretty disappointed with a few of Ferrell's more recent films, but at least for me Step Brothers got me back in!! To my surprise my expectations were met, plus more!!!

To all you people giving this movie bad reviews because it's crude and not appropriate for kids, seriously?! Of course it's crude and awful, that's part of what makes it funny. If you don't like crude humor or have small children DON'T WATCH IT. It's pretty simple really.

But it really is a highly entertaining flick. Great one-liners and ridiculous scenes kept me laughing non-stop. These two together are priceless!!! There really is more to it than what you see in the previews! JUST WATCH IT!!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The characters are not the only case of arrested development
When Dr. Robert Doback (Richard Jenkins) and Nancy Huff (Mary Steenbergen) fall in lust at a medical conference, they realize during the throes of passion they're the perfect couple when they both confess they have 40-year-old sons still at home. Marriage follows shortly and Dr. Doback wants to retire to sail around the world.

What they hadn't reckoned on was their two sons, Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) and Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) do not get along initially. Then, when they discover they are so alike, they get along too well for awhile.

The breakup's pretty much inevitable. The end may be, too. The humor's pretty juvenile and the characters are a little too over the top, but there is a good message here, too. You've got to hold your nose through some of it.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - BAD ON EVERY LEVEL.
I am a fan of both actors but this movie is just horrible. Though crude, I wasn't offended by the style of humor. It just wasn't funny at any time. I have seen backyard skits far better than this. I don't know who read the script and thought to themselves "this would be a great movie!" Anyone giving this a positive review knows how bad it is and is playing a joke on unsuspecting customers. There is eather a PR campaign by the studio or a bunch of moronic 14 year olds because this movie is just BAD! Don't get sucked in,this is not even worth a rental. Best stay clear.
