It was a typical dumb comedy, but I did laugh at times. The spot-on dynamic between the two main characters was kind of cute. (I can't believe I said that. :-p)
Ferrell and Reilly together in a movie is a big issue when it comes to comedy movie. Hilarious, stupid and assholes makes people laugh out loud when watching them. Your typical Saturday movie when you have got nothing to do. 3 stars.
As much as I hate Will Ferrell, I actually quite enjoyed this one. Not brilliant, but kept me entertained.
reallly funny and vetry enjoyable!! The two leads look very similar and are both hilarious
Critic Reviews
A sometimes amusing, occasionally hilarious summer laugh fest.full review
Brideshead Revisited, it turns out, deserves a revisit.full review
There's a good subject for satire here, the extended adolescence of American kids. But satire presupposes maturity, or at least some perspective.full review
The concept is inherently funny, but the plot grows thin and the laughs grow fewer once the premise is established.full review
Stupid, crude and hilarious, Step Brothers works by sneaking past our better judgment.full review
There is no plot, no sense, symmetry or structure to this train wreck.full review
Starting at infantile and regressing hysterically from there, Step Brothers flies on the comic chemistry of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.full review
Full of riffy, improvised moments and a couple of jaw-droppingly raunchy sight gags, the comedy follows a typical buddy-movie arc -- conflict and loathing giving way to bonding and brotherhood, or step-brotherhood in this case.full review
When did comedies get so mean? Step Brothers has a premise that might have produced a good time at the movies, but when I left, I felt a little unclean.full review
