Step Brothers - A Movie Review

Tweet

"Step Brothers" is a comedy that was released in 2008. It was written by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay from a story by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and John C. Reilly. The movie was met with mixed reviews. CAST Will Ferrell - Brennan Huff Bryce Hurless - Young Brennan Huff John C. Reilly - Dale Doback Richard Jenkins - Robert Doback Mary Steenburgen - Nancy Huff-Doback Adam Scott - Derek Huff Dmitri Schuyler-Linch - Young Derek Huff Kathryn Hahn - Alice Huff Andrea Savage - Denise Rob Riggle - Randy Logan Manus - Chris Gardocki Lurie Poston - Tommy 39-year-old Brennan Huff lives with his divorced mother, Nancy; and 40-year-old Dale Doback lives with his widowed father, Robert. Nancy and Robert meet, fall in love and get married. Now Brennan and Dale are forced to live together as step brothers. Brennan and Dale can't stand each other; and Dale warns Brennan not to touch his drum set. Of course Brennan plays on the drums; and Dale notices that there is a chip on one of his drumsticks. A violent fight breaks out. They are grounded for a week and told that they must get jobs within a month or they will be evicted from the house. There is an incident later on that brings the men closer together; and they become friends. Ferrell and Reilly make a good comedy team; and it's a shame that their talent can't come forward in this film. There are too many inappropriate things done and said. I have nothing against silly or juvenile comedy; but when it's combined with bad language and inappropriate behavior, I can only think about how I'd like to edit this film. There are parts of this movie that are extremely funny; and it's too bad that you can't watch it the whole way through without being offended. For this reason alone I am giving "Step Brothers" a thumbs down! If you still would like to find out what happens to Brennan and Dale then you'll have to watch the movie and judge for yourself! This movie is rated R. Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons (Will Ferrell)
