Step Brothers (2008)Directed by Adam McKay, rated R, 98 minutes
Step Brothers is a raucous and over the top comedy about two spoiled, grown-up kids who become stepbrothers after their parents get married, and end up enemies. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly bring a fun energy to the film playing off each other effortlessly, and the smaller parts are filled with some surprisingly impressive character actors. The story is rather loose to allow Ferrell and Reilly to do basically whatever they want, which has mixed results - sometimes
laugh out loud funny, and sometimes not so much. Step Brothers isn't all that different from Ferrell's other films and at times it can be too much, but it's a lot of fun when you're looking for a dumb comedy. You'll like it if: You like raunchy comedies, comedies about dysfunctional families, Will Ferrell, Old School, The Hangover or Anchorman.
