Crude, juvenile, and proud of it, Step Brothers stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as two 40-year-old men, both living at home and leading the lives of 13-year-old boys, who are thrown together when their single parents (Mary Steenburgen, Parenthood, and Richard Jenkins, Six Feet Under) get married. Brennan (Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly) start out hating each other as only teenage boys can--but things get even worse for their long-suffering parents when they become best friends. Step Brothers gets most of its mileage from very lowbrow humor, but hidden among the farts and masturbation jokes is the suggestion that while these guys may be emotionally arrested, so are Brennan's hotshot business executive brother (Adam Scott, Tell Me You Love Me) and his high-fiving frat-boy pals, just in a way that's condoned because it makes money. Also crucial is that Ferrell and Reilly capture adolescence in all its gruesome glory--the awkward insecurity but also the egomaniacal, arrogant self-centeredness. Mind you, this isn't the American version of The 400 Blows or anything--one of the movie's setpieces features Brennan tea-bagging Dale's drum set (and if you don't know what tea-bagging is... well, you will after seeing this movie). All in all, Step Brothers combines the adolescent humor of producer Judd Apatow (Superbad, Knocked Up) and the comic chemistry of Ferrell and Reilly (who previously costarred in Talladega Nights)--fans of either will find plenty to enjoy. --Bret Fetzer

 Absurd yet hilarious! January 9, 2009
Don't let all the negative reviews scare you off. If you are looking for an intelligent film then don't watch this movie. If you feel the need for immature and brainless entertainment then look no further.
Step Bros January 7, 2009
It's very funny, but somewhat crude - not something I would watch with my mother or with small children, but exactly what you expect from Reilly and Ferrell. The bloopers reel is a must-watch!
 Horrible from Start to Finish January 7, 2009

I got it for my grandson & he was excited to get it I'm sure he loved it as it was something on his list.
Ferrell's movies are like a sugary energy drink January 6, 2009

Will Ferrell is a funny guy. I wouldn't kick him outta bed for eating crackers(HUH?).
Okay, scratch that comment. But when watching any of his movies, you will often get a warm, fuzzy feeling in your brain(and your loins).
Uhhh, I meant to say there is often a mild rush of euphoria as you watch his childish tirades, uncouth mannerisms, and misplaced arrogance.
It gets to the point where you wish you could get down his pants(sheesh!)
Errr, I mean at some point your attention span inevitably starts to crash.
Ferrell and Reilly play the characters they should be in real life--two stupid, lazy, unemployed 40-yr-olds mooching off their parents.
Much of the humor here rides solely on the use of profantity. A cluster of F-bombs is fun and all, but it gets redundant. Plus it gets old. And repetitive.
But this does have some genuine laughable moments. Like when the step bros become best friends and pee together(and cross streams), look at nudy mags, or watch Steven Seagal movies. Funny stuff.
But their antics often get extremely childish and unbelievable. Plus, size matters! This gets too lengthy for comfort, and its only 98 minutes long. Plus I hate how nearly all comedies lately feel the need for a detached, preposterous climax that eludes any sense of logic.
All-in-all not a total waste of time, especially for the ignorant masses who will most likely squeal in exuberant delight. 2.5 stars.
