Another one of my favorites. Two grown men in there 40's. One living with his mom and the other living with his dad. They marry and become step brothers who fight like 10 year olds.
THE BEST COMEDY MOVIE I HAVE WATCHED in the last 15 years. All of the jokes are hilarious, the actors are hilarious... The whole thing is hilarious. For the people who say there is no plot, that's that point! Just straight up jokes 101.
There's a good subject for satire here, the extended adolescence of American kids. But satire presupposes maturity, or at least some perspective. The movie's calculation is that its subjects and audience share the same point of view. The results are truly ghastly.
I saw this listed as one of the 5 best comedy movies of the 21st century and that was a lie. Got its funny moments but a lot of it was boring npc humor
Finding The Voice Together
Step Brothers
McKay's daunting task to bring two comic energies on screen that is of such high caliber with an eerie relationship to work on, is an average brawler sparked up by illuminating performances. A gullible world as such of McKay is his core strength, and he makes sure he uses it whenever the script gets damp, lucky for him, there is very little space to do so. The husbandry gags that the film relies upon for the most part of it, ought to have installed by Reilly and Ferrell and is thoroughly steered by them. From banal notions and hilarious illogical one liners, this comic drama, contradictory to popular beliefs, has witty sense of humor.
To pull off your typical dinner-conversation-gone-wrong case with intertwined complicated equations bubbled up by irrevocable actions shines a new light every time. The physical sequences are convincing and flat out hilarious spiced up by irregular yellings of their deepest darkest secrets that tickles you. McKay's clean trial of putting up these two hilarious personas on stand makes us see through and through of their nature which works immensely on dramatic bits no matter how little they are.
Ferrell as the shy Mama's boy, obliged but never to admit sort of stature is sculpted on screen by him where his flamboyancy on melting down and cheering up welcomes you to join this unfathomable emotions. Reilly, on the other hand, the impossible to live with guy, is where the antics move accordingly, and his reach to grasp Ferrell's schemes has merits of its own. These two twinkling stars are the heart of the film, if the camera seeks someone else, the energy wears off quickly. Step Brothers feels like real brothers for their constant bickering and petty fights, with all the crisp from surface to the core, this family is fun.
Never was a fan of this movie. I read one user say it was, "Aggressively unfunny" and I'm one to agree. The cast give it there all and Will Ferrell and John C Reilly really go all out here but there is almost nothing funny about this movie. The only thing unforgettable about this film was just how forgettable it is.
Watched this for the first time ever, and to be honest I don't see what everyone found so funny about it. I rarely laughed. The writing was very poor and so where the characters. It was crude but unfunny. One of Will Ferrell's worst films.
