Step Brothers

Another Will Ferrell Movie...

This time, its under the supervision of Adam McKay and co-stars John C. Reilly. When these 3 work together, there is great chemistry (see Talladega Nights). I guess I could start off by saying its mostly a guy movie. Girls will like it, too, but its geared towards guys.

Reilly and Ferrell are both 40ish year old men who still live with their parents. Their parents meet (Richard Jenkins (great actor) and Ted Danson's wife, Marry Steenburgen) and get married and the two are forced to share a room and live together. The craziness then ensues. Will Ferrell's brother in the movie is hilariously played by Adam Scott. He moved out at a normal age and hates his older brother for being a loser.

Basically, this movie is what it sounds. However, it delivers over and over and over. Hell, even after the credits roll it keeps going. I loved this movie from start to finish. There are a lot of subtle things, and a lot of obvious humor. Also, a lot of guest spots from other comedians.

The premise is crazy, but I guarantee you will laugh.
