Step Brothers for sure is one of the funniest Comedies of the Year. You can say anything you want to say about it but there is no way denying it that Step Brothers is a very satisfying Comedy that tries to entertain till the end.
If nothing you have to give credit to Will Ferell and John C. Reilly for their extraordinary performance in Step Brothers. True, it’s not going to win a Golden Globe or an Oscar but they are a very strong Comedy team. Sadly you couldn’t say the samething about Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen. THese two just don’t seem like a Good Couple. THey don’t have the needed chemistry, originality or dialogue for a strong Comedy Couple! Sadly it seems that both Steenburgen and Jenkins want to provide material for Reilly and Ferell thansupport each other.
Sadly this Comedy isn’t without weaknesses. First and foremostly, Brennan(Ferell) and Dale (Reilly) are the same person. Both in their forties, immature, Without girlfriends or jobs and etc. This list could actually go on forever comparing their similar characteristics! It seems like the Writer didn’t even take the effort to make them visibly different from each other.
The Second problem which some fans may not even count as a problem and may even see it as a strong point in the Movie is the toal immaturity of Dale and Brennan. THough you might think that for two forty year old men masturbating is digusting Dale and Brenan think elsewise.
But just to caution parents Step Brothers is very crude. I have to say it respectfully earned it’s R Rating. Without removing spoilers I would advise only 12 year olds and up to experience this massacre of intelligence.
I’m not sure if I noted this or not but Step Brothers is not one of those movies that will open you’re eyes in the World or help you understand an issue in a better way. “Step Brothers” is just funny, crude and immature. It is very forgettable and probably one watch is enough.
In conclusion “Step Brothers” is a step up from “Semi Pro” but is not a very meaningful movie. It’s more aimed at the audience who like endless crude comedy. It is a very funny Movie but not the best in the Genre. If you want a laugh watch “Step Brothers” and never think about it again.
