Step Brothers

Step Brothers (2008)
Seen At The Movies 19th Sept 2008

This has to be one of the FUNNIEST movies i've EVER seen. I laughed out loud (yes, i lol'd) more than I think I ever have before in a movie theatre. SO SO SO GOOD!!

STORY: 6.5/7
Nancy (Mary Steenburgen) and Robert (Richard Jenkins: Six Feet Under) meet at a conference and fall in love. They decide to get married and live together, the only complication is that they both have 40 year old sons, who still live at home. Brennan (Will Ferrel: Anchorman) and Dale (John C. Reilly: Chicago) absolutely hate each other, until they are forced to work together to save their unemployed living-at-home lifestyles.

ACTING: 6/7
Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly are brilliant at what they do, but the entire cast of "Step Brothers" works so well together. Richard Jenkins was so unexpectedly funny that i quite literally fell off of my chair laughing. Make sure that you pay attention to what he wanted to be when he grew up!! The stand out for this movie though is probably the duo of Adam Scott and Kathryn Hahn as Brennan's brother and his wife.

SCORE / SOUND: 6/7
To be honest, i don't really remember much of the score... but this movie is funny enough that it totally doesn't even matter at all!!

SONGS: 5.5/7
Brennan has the voice of an angel. I mean, it's like Fergie meets Jesus!!!



OVERALL: 6.5/7
