Step Brothers

Let's be honest, nobody goes to watch a movie like this to be blown away with quality filmmaking; we just want to laugh. Step Brothers definitely delivers on that front. The movie earned an "R" rating for the tons of crude and sexual content throughout the movie. The on screen chemistry between John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell is great, but one would expect so since they play similar characters, just with different quirks. The plot is really not that good, but the funny moments and one-liners come one after another, which keeps the movie interesting and very funny. I actually really enjoyed that they threw Brennan's (Ferrell) older brother (played by Adam Scott, formerly of short-lived Boy Meets World fame) into the mix, it really made for some funny moments. It also didn't hurt that Mary Steenburgen, who plays Brennan's mother Nancy, looks quite good for a woman her age. The only character I can say I honestly did not like was Dale's (Reilly) father, who just got on my nerves for most of what was otherwise a very enjoyable movie. Oh, and sorry for the spoiler, but I really did not need to see Will Ferrell tea bag a drum set with a fake scrotum.

9/11
