Stepbrothers: A Review


Perhaps a movie is produced where you were to watch 5-year-olds on screen cement their hatred only to find love entangled within their abyss of childishness.

Too cliche, no?

How about inserting Will Ferrell and John Reilly?

Sexy? Definitely not.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not too attracted to nutsack waving men. Or boys for that matter.

Funny? At times.

Crude? Yes.

Classless? Definitely.

These 40 -year-old boys act like 5-year-olds, and in true form, take a beating from playground dwelling inhabitants. Right on cue.

This movie, though it has some creative one-liners, which are more absurd than anything, borders the immaturity of low British humor.

Dale Doback (Reily) and Brennan Huff (Ferrell) fight for territory after their parents get married. Like. You guessed. Five-year-olds.

Their cluelessness, or witlessness, makes Stepbrothers a one-joke movie.

Are there laughs? Definitely.

But for a good reason? Perhaps you should examine yourself before anything.

Repetitively pelted with immaturity and sexual crassness, this Will Ferrell directed flop lands somewhere in the lower section of Talledega Nights and hell.

Perhaps something's a bit wrong with that.

Meanwhile, we can all continue to watch 5-year-olds duke it out on screen.
