I'm an older brother of two younger sisters who outnumber me in life. That's what bothers me most about this movie and the fact that I've always wanted a little brother. I use to try to get someone from school to be my little brother. Sometimes it does work but not as much as I would obviously wish but either way it does happen from time to time. If I had a little brother or was in a big brother program, I would be very happy. I would be more happier with that than two younger sisters.
I would have to admit that there were some movies where characters do feel like family to one another, like "Up" or "Fred Claus." It just so happens that relationships like Carl Fredrickson as a grandson to Russell or finding the true meaning of Santa's Clause's older brother. I mean, it does work on very occasions and it works very well.
However with "Step Brothers," there's nothing fun about that. It's just about two people dating and their 40 year old sons won't get out of the house. They build up terrible relationships that just doesn't do anything. Anything that suits upon level. It's just ridiculous and childish. That's all.
What bothered me the most about this movie was that Seth Rogen who is like the funniest actor in most comedies actually turns out to take a crappy short role. And all of this is thanks to how stupid Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are. I mean, Ferrell, Reilly...GROW UP! YOU'RE NOT IN KINDERGARTEN. Other than that, I don't mind dysfunctional family humor, like "Little Miss Sunshine" (even though there's a brother/sister relationship), but this is the worst idea for family dysfunction. In fact, I want my 2 hours back of this ridiculous piece of [...].
"Step Brothers" is not a movie I would want to see. So there!

ah where to begin? this is easily the best humor will Ferrell has ever done (in my humble opinion)along with the great work of john c Riley of course, who BTW has excellent chemistry with will, dales brother is pretty much the antagonist in this film and every time you see em' you want to hit em' cannot remember the guys name but does a good job at playing an as------! ahem moving on, so yeah it's a gut buster of a film the bathroom scene was priceless(with the likable nympho) but some of the greatest scenes are the deleted ones, or "extras" such as Hulk Hands which i found Hysterical, i mean just the idea that two grown 40 year old guys get excited over x-mas presents and Hulk hands is enough to watch the scene over and over again. The funniest movie of 2008 (and for a long time) no contest.

Hilarious movie. I actually wondered if there are actual guys like this out there. If there are Will and John sure nailed it down to a tee. One of Will Ferrell's better movies. This is worth buying as it could be watched multiple times, great family flix as well.

I'm not a fan of "Anchorman". I deem every Judd Apatow movie unfunny. But "Step Brothers" is "the Caddyshack of the '00s". Or, at least, the "Dumb and Dumber of the '00s"
Like all comedies these days, the film doesn't aim very high. There's a fart joke. There's a crap joke. But the difference is, the people reacting in this film are actually FUNNY. Every actor squeezes every laugh out of their character. I haven't laughed at Will Ferrell is nearly a decade, but he's in top form here. Plus, the chemistry between everyone is genuine and I'm sure most of the best moments were improvised.
The film has heart without being cloying or trying to take anything seriously like the awful "Superbad".
It has its moments where its too stupid, but this is a keeper for fans of old-school fun comedies.
