Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, who last teamed in the box-office smash Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, now star in Step Brothers, directed by Adam McKay (Talladega Nights). In Step Brothers, Ferrell plays Brennan Huff, a sporadically employed thirty-nine-year-old who lives with his mother, Nancy (Mary Steenburgen). Reilly plays Dale Doback, a terminally unemployed forty-year-old who lives with his father, Robert (Richard Jenkins). When Robert and Nancy marry and move in together, Brennan and Dale are forced to live with each other as step brothers. As their narcissism and downright aggressive laziness threaten to tear the family apart, these two middle-aged, immature, overgrown boys will orchestrate an insane, elaborate plan to bring their parents back together. To pull it off, they must form an unlikely bond that maybe, just maybe, will finally get them out of the house. The screenplay is by Will Ferrell & Adam McKay from a story by Will Ferrell & Adam McKay & John C. Reilly. Jimmy Miller and Judd Apatow produce.

People Movie Review Step Brothers

 

Marion Owen-Fekete

The prolific amount of vulgar language and some of the crude actions in "Step Brothers" grated heavily on my sensibilities; however, I found this film so entertaining I laughed from start to finish. For me, the comedy was done with gusto and fun on part of the actors. I'm sure most people involved with the film "had a ball" working on this flick. Almost no stops were pulled. Play it as you feel it, and Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are superb comics. I wish this film could have been cleaned up, but then vulgarity is all part of being adolescent males, which the crazy duo portrayed. I liked the movie so much I'd see it again but for the language.
