Just Another Will Ferrell Movie
posted on 28 Aug 2009It is another comedy from Will Ferrell comedy with John C. Reilly and it is not that bad, its better than Semi - Pro which is not saying too much really. The joke wise some hit, most miss and the laughs I got were about seven and some chuckles with it but still its watchable Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly are good together and give the movie a threw laughs but still its not a good movie and most of it has unfunny jokes. And the ending both ed me a little bit but still its not bad enough to hate its just another one so its worth renting it but I didn't like it that much but still its better than Semi - Pro only because it wasn't as boring as Semi - Pro but still its only a little bit better its not terrible.The movie is okay not Will Ferrels worst or best ever I want him to do more Anchorman because that was hilarious.5.0 / 10
Will Ferrell's best movie!
posted on 26 Aug 2009I saw Step Brothers in theaters in the summer.I think it is Will Ferrell's best movie.It is even better than Anchorman which was hilarious! The film stars Will Ferrell and John C Reilly as two middle-age men who still live with their single parents.The two parents meet each other and fall in love.They then decide to move in together.At first, the two Step Brothers dislike each other but they then find that they have a lot in common.That is the basic plot of Step Brothers.It has some good original songs and some very hilarious scenes.It is overall a great movie and Will Ferrell's best!9/10
Anchorman 2 needs to include John C. Reilly because Ferrell/Reilly is GOLD
posted on 24 Aug 2009Let me start by saying wow, creativity and wordplay like this haven't been seen since Walt Frazier hung up his shoes and picked up a Mic. Reilly and Ferrell's crazy ad libs leave the audience lathered in their own spit from laughing uncontrollable. Adam McKay is a wonderful writing and his collaborations with Will Ferrell are epic. A person goes to a movie to be shocked and awed and shown things they have never been shown before, one liners that are so lewd and crazy they would come from a teenager seem so funny coming from grown men. They put comedy back on the map, along with all the great work Judd Apatow is doing, because lets face it, in the past few years comedies have become lackluster with slap humor and bathroom jokes. We were sorely in need of a great comedy and since Will Ferrell left SNL to do this acting bit full time he's churned out good comedy after good comedy. So let's pray that these two comic geniuses star in many more features to come.
Worth a watch for fans of the genre, but lacks heart.
posted on 24 Aug 2009Funny?... Yes. Laugh out loud?... Absolutely. Empty?... Unfortunately, yes as well. While the new Will Ferrell and John C. Rielly collaboration does work on every possible level it should, for some reason it lacks a certain charm that recent stellar raunch comedies of the same nature seem to have, (namely other pieces with Judd Apatow's name attached) 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad.Now this shouldn't suggest the movie was bad, by all means in some places this movies was flat out hilarious. Most of these moments come at the expense of raunch, profanities, and Will Ferrell doing what he does (You know, that sort of dead, half opened mouth smile. Oh, and when he talks in short bursts as if he is out of breath. Yes it reads stupid, but funny as hell when he does it.)It's not that raunch comedies are dying or they aren't funny anymore, it's just that this one lacked the heart to make it memorable. After a nights rest, from seeing the movie, few scenes in the movie really stand out. Another problem I found was that the swearing seemed to come across as forced, at times the dialog could have been quicker and in turn funnier if the chase was cut to, by removing dropped f-bombs. However, some scenes are made gut bursting by the characters pure lack of social dignity (Rielly's opening scene in the kitchen with his father, the interview with a cameo by Seth Rogen, and Rielly's romp in the bathroom)Pros:Will Ferrell is a star for a reason, he can always find a way to make us laugh, and Rielly has some great moments also. Some moments are so outlandish, one can't help but laugh. While, others were brilliantly carried by Ferrell and Rielly. From couples, to groups of dense frat boys in their tacky affliction t-shirts, some scenes had the whole theater roaring.Cons:This movie lacked heart, the ending of the movie felt like it was just placed in there, with no real point as was the case with the story. It left an empty feeling by providing the means, to the two leads antics.Some of the script, dialog, and scenes could have flowed better if there wasn't a forced need for "raunch", while this does work more often than not, the times when it doesn't seem to stand out more to memory.Overall:I would recommend this movie to most people who are fans of the raunch comedy genre, not exactly a family film. Good movie to go see with your buddies, or if you've already seen The Dark Knight. If your still unsure if this is the movie for you but your still into this kind of genre; maybe, you'd be better off saving your money for Pineapple Express, which opens August 8th.
Funniest Ferrell/Reilly Movie To Date!
posted on 22 Aug 2009I liked Ferrel & Reilly as the racing team in "Talladega Nights" but this was even better. The physical comedy was outstanding and the acting itself was pitch perfect. Many critics commented on how well they did given what they had to work with, but I think the script was excellent. Some of the lines were brilliant, but you really have to give the actors credit for improvising. After Ferrell revealed his singing talents when he sang "Let's Give 'Em Something to Talk About", when Reilly gushed on and on about how great he was, and then said "I'm not sure, but towards the end I think I saw you turn into a Unicorn", I lost it. I really lost it when Ferrell's brother & his family were singing in the car "Sweet Child of Mine". It was a real classic.Hell, I think I'll buy this when it comes out on DVD. I can't say that for many comedies ("Anchor Man" is one).Don't miss this one. It's a scream.
Warning: This film is very dumb. Warning 2: It is also hilarious to watch.
posted on 20 Aug 2009Welcome to Masterpiece Theater. In this program, we study, analyze, and praise only the most prestigious, mature, sophisticated, and acclaimed works in modern cinema. The next film in our program features male nudity, random humor, quirky one-liners, obscenities sprinkled like spices on meat, and enough immaturity to make Saturday morning cartoons appear to look like Mozart's 22nd piano concerto. The highly sophisticated and charming Will Ferrell teams up with dashing John C. Reilly as they deliver us a trip down a level of integrity rarely ever seen in movie-making. The result is a comedy so low in the intelligence scale, it doesn't require anything past a 2nd grade education to truly appreciate what a show they've put on.In this comedy full of Shakespearean integrity, we find two men who fail to live up to their dreams, being forced to share the same house and the same parents. With their personalities being so alike, they start clashing like two extremely powerful magnets facing each other. However, as time moves on, they become close like brothers (as the clever title states) and attempt to succeed with each other's help. This script, helmed by Reilly, Ferrell and Adam McKay (Our director), combines crude humor with more heart than a dead flea for approximately 98 minutes. So, it's never too long and never too preachy.Full of whimsical material, Step Brothers never quite loses focus in the art it's portraying. Whether it's engaging in a nasty battle against much younger kids, having to come in contact with feces, rapping about anatomy below the waist, fighting multiple times, making detailed threats about extraneous activities, speaking like a careless sailor, or even playing around with an extremely dangerous weapon in multiple instances, our heroes of the story encounter many, many obstacles. Just when you think the plot runs out of ideas, we get another surprise.That being said, before engaging in a viewing session with this work of classy art, one must develop a taste for it. If you didn't quite comprehend the quality of Anchorman or Talladega Nights, then odds are you will not appreciate Step Brothers. You must be immune to absolute stupidity, absurdity, and crudeness that you just usually do not see. Ferrell has perfected his art of being a lovable oaf with the smarts of a sack of refined beans. If you do enjoy this sort of art though, then there's no reason why you will not engage in a spirited chuckle once in a while. You will be referencing the movie long after the credits roll; it's just a part of nature.Bottom Line: On the offchance that you missed every hint towards sarcasm in the previous several paragraphs, Step Brothers is quite possibly the most immature movie in the history of modern film-making. With that being said, as long as you have the acquired taste and are willing to accept stupidity for a long period of time, you'll have a blast. The chemistry between the actors is phenomenal, as Ferrell and Reilly seemed destined to work together. The plot throws our main characters into many different scenarios, disallowing you a chance to see what's going to happen next. Step Brothers, a hall of fame candidate in any Masterpiece Immature Theater.
Not a Will Ferrel fan, but this was Hilarious
posted on 18 Aug 2009Coming from a kid who hates Will Ferrel..This movie is his best since Old SchoolI personally thought it was going to be annoying watching old actors try and be funny by acting like they are little kids, but this was hilariousRated R humor at its finestThe unnecessary swearing was brilliant Definitely wont have you saying "when the hell is this movie going to be over i just had taco bell and i gotta poop, hurry up" BECAUSE III had taco bell and i had to poop, but i held it through the whole movie because it was THAT FUNNY
Better than the average Will Ferrell movie thanks to John C. Reilly
posted on 16 Aug 2009When I first saw the trailer for Step Brothers, all I could think was "Oh, great, Will Ferrell again?", I know this guy has a ton of fans, but I don't understand why, he can't really hold a movie together. But I got to see Step Brothers for free and I love John C. Reilly, so I decided to go ahead and just check it out with an open mind. Now there is no doubt, this movie is definitely a lot better than I expected, it's pretty funny, has some really good moments, but still once again, with the older men acting like children, not too original and a lot of the humor seems a little forced. Another comedy brought to us by the Apatow crew, naturally the comedy is over all decent, but please, for the love of God, can they stop with the friggin' penis jokes?! It's getting old, and so are Will Ferrell's balls, that's one thing in life I never did wanna see, and now it'll haunt my dreams forever.Dale and Brennan just became step brothers, one is 40 and one is 39 years old, but they both have the maturity of an eleven year old. They still live with their parents who have just pretty much crippled them into not growing up. But they hate each other, fight like crazy and destroy everything around them, so their parents finally tell them to get jobs and move out. But seeing how they're enjoying their care free life styles, so naturally they ruin their interviews, but what they don't know is that they are about to ruin their parent's marriage when they've finally discovered they're best friends.Now Step Brothers has some really funny moments, the dad played by Richard Jenkins is just hilarious, even though you wanna smack these parents since they've crippled their kids into not being grown adults, he delivers his lines well and is actually going crazy with the boy's behavior. Also how Dale and Brennan are wearing tuxedo's to their job interviews killed me, some of their scenes were just hilarious, like when they finally discovered they were best friends and what they had in common. Over all, I'd say this movie is worth the look, but I would recommend this more for a matinée, it's just an average comedy, no more or less.7/10
Awesome retarded comedy about 30 something living at home stepbrothers.
posted on 16 Aug 2009This comedy team nails it a lot harder than they did in Taladega Nights with this one, there's a ton of laughs and only a few slow points. If your parents were divorced you will appreciate this more. If you have ever had to live under your parents roof as an adult, that also helps. I loved the job interview scene, that was epic. There's so many great scenes in this movie, a couple of crappy filler moments, but then back on track to funny time again.PLOT: a full grown man Brennan (Will Ferrel) that lives with his mom moves into the house of another full grown man Dale (John C Riley) ( that lives with his dad and the mom and dad are married. But both of these men are not far from children mentally and neither is very keen on the other. Let the games begin!!!These two are the perfect character foils for each others excessive retardation. I love it.This is not highbrow humor by any means. Enjoy drunk. ;-)
Bloody Hilarious
posted on 14 Aug 2009I have been getting a lot of mixed reviews about this movie. Some people love it, some people hate it, some people are just plain grossed out by it. I'm in the love it category. There were a few unnecessary gross out scenes but the rest of it is just awesome straight forward comedy.John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell are amazing. I also loved Talladega Nights so it was great too see them as co-actors again. The story is ridiculous, there's no doubt about that, but it's really fun and I felt it moved along very well. I was also laughing out loud at the humor in this movie. There are so many spot on jokes and so many quotable lines.See this one if you're a fan of films like Talladega Nights, Superbad and Walk Hard. I think you'll find that is quite a bit to love about it.
Ferrells best work?
posted on 12 Aug 2009I saw Step Brothers and right off the bat I thought it was the funniest thing i'd ever seen. Of course I always say that right after watching a comedy flick for the first time. But this was a very good, solid movie. It isn't anything that will be worshiped as a comedy classic, but thats not what they were aiming for when they made this. This is the ideal "popcorn & soda" movie. Just flip the shoes off, pull out the recliner, and let the laughing begin. This may not be as good as "Talladega Nights", "Anchorman", or "Elf", in a sense of good story and plot. However, it will make you laugh harder than you did at any of those other movies.The plot is pretty stupid actually, but there is just so much up close and in your face comedy to laugh at in this movie that you'll think of it as highly as you do of Ferrell's past masterpieces. Both Will Farrell and John C. Reilly drop some of the funniest lines you'll ever hear, so hats-off on the dialogue. Most of the laughs in this movie come from dialogue, but there are some other things here and there. Plus i was just happy to see Seth Rogen make a cameo. Adam Sandler's officially dead, so if anyone else is on Ferrell's level of comedy these days, it's Seth Rogen. I would definitely recommend this movie to comedy lovers, but again, it's never going to be some hallowed masterpiece. Basically i'd say that if you enjoyed "Blades of Glory" and "Old School", then you will have a great time with Step Brothers.
Will Ferrell returns with some big laughs
posted on 12 Aug 2009After the extremely disappointing 'Semi-Pro,' Will Ferrell returns with an amazing partner in crime: John C. Reilly. These two light up the screen together as 39 & 40 year old stepbrothers still living at home with their newly wed parents. At first, their animosity keeps them apart and forces them to quarrel like dog and. . . another old dog. But, as they learn more about one another, they become the best of friends. . . things get complicated, however, when their unhappy parents decide to kick them out of the house due to their plans for a divorce.This is, without a doubt, the funniest film I've seen all year. The humour ranges from slapstick/physical stupidity to hilarious insulting comedy to cheesy family-style laughs. The story works well and Ferrell/Reilly perfectly capture the twelve-year-old-in-a-40-year-old-body roles they had. The writing is a little iffy at the start, but once the story gets rolling, everything flows wonderfully, all the way through the great conclusion.Overall, this is a can't-miss for fans of Ferrell's (and similar) work.Final verdict: 8/10.-AP3-
Hilarious Just Hilarious
posted on 08 Aug 2009Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) is a sporadically employed 39-year-old who lives with his mother, Nancy (Mary Steenburgen). Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) is a terminally unemployed 40-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. Step Brothers 9/10
Stupid but entertaining comedy
posted on 08 Aug 2009At least its not as stupid as most teen comedy. I have to say this is some kind of a cross between adult & teen comedy. Much of the scene involves trying hard to make the audience laugh by inventing unrealistic acts. Fortunately the movie is all about 2 40 year old who behaves like a kid, which is very unrealistic already. So I don't expect this to be the kind of comedy which I can relate to in real life and laugh about it.The sex part annoys me very much because the lady keeps screaming and moaning loudly even though they're supposed to be discrete and I don't find it funny at all for her screaming and loud moan.Bad part aside, I like how the story evolved from weird to happy to funny to sad, back to happy + some weird feeling and then funny. Even though this is a stupid comedy, there are some scenes which are quite moving. And best of all, entertainment level is high on this one.
Do Americans have a sense of humour?
posted on 08 Aug 2009Anything from the Apatow stable is devoutly to be avoided by anyone with a sense of humour. Humour involves irony and social commentary, qualities entirely lacking in the Apatow opus. Apatow enjoys laughing at the idiot goyim and giggling about it all the way to the bank. In Apatow comedies, the joke is on the audience. Stepbrothers is more of the same. Two grown men try to do more inane things than each other while acting like nine year-olds. At some point Will Ferrell is sitting on the toilet with his drawers down. He reaches for toilet paper (so we know that he has had a bowel movement) and finds the roller empty. Looking round, he notes the rug that surrounds the pedestal and pulls it up. He is about to turn and wipe his rear with it when -- CLICK! --- I switch off the DVD player and the further adventures of these two morons will never be known.
Finally !
posted on 04 Aug 2009It has been 4 years since the epic release of Anchorman, which in my eyes is the greatest movie of all time. Following this movie, it was obvious that Will Ferrell would release many more silly comedies along the "Anchorman" lines. For a huge Ferrell fan, this was great news. However, they all really disappointed. Talladega Nights, was a breath of fresh air, showing the potential of Ferrell's abilities, but not as funny as i would have hoped. Semi-Pro, which is without a doubt the worst Ferrell movie to date.So, 2008, and another Ferrell movie for us to sink our teeth into. And it really hit the spot this time. Finally, a Will Ferrell movie which is on par with Anchorman. The comedy double act of Ferrell and Reilly is truly amazing. The story is completely original. It has one-liners that you will be quoting for years to come.To be honest it was a relief to see Ferrell's abilities used to their full potential in this movie. And also Reilly's. This will definitely be the kick off point for Reilly's career.So, if you are a fan of silly, childish comedy, you'll love this.Welcome back Mr Ferrell!
Without the bathroom humor, this movie could have been a lot better!
posted on 04 Aug 2009I love Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. They have the power to become one of Hollywood's most memorable comedic duos since Laverne & Shirley, Lenny & Squiggy, Laurel & Hardy, and Abbott & Costello. This movie does okay but the references and the sick, vulgar bathroom humor was more than enough. I love Mary Steenburgen who played WIll's stepmother in Elf and Richard Jenkins as the divorcée and widower who get together so quickly. When he admits that his adult son still lives at home, she responds "so do I." Dale and Brennan are grown adult men but they have child-sized minds. They don't want to grow up and their parents marriage have made them stepbrothers. At first, they hate each other. Slowly, they bond over Brennan's super-successful brother Derek who outshines his older brother and has scarred him for life regarding music. Dale and Brennan have to get a job and move out in a month. It's not easy since they botch interview wearing tuxedos. Brennan's unhappy wife, Alice, takes a shine to Dale after he does something heroic to her husband. I felt bad for Kathryn Hahn who is co-starring on Broadway in Boeing Boeing right now.
More Nut Sack
posted on 04 Aug 2009This movie clearly needed MORE nut sack, if you don't enjoy a good Teabag joke I'm not sure what you can enjoy. This was easily Will Ferrell's crudest movie, surpassing Semi-Pro as his most crude movie.Hilarious movie, however it relied a lot on shock value for the humor, that didn't stop the fact it was still amazing. They also have hundreds of memorable quotes and one liners that I will be joking about with friends forever.In conclusion, MORE NUT SACK, and I'm sorry for anybody that is too prude to enjoy a good cock joke. I personally think they could've used the teabag joke on at least 3 or 4 more scenes and it wouldn't lose its humor. I hope people can enjoy a movie for what it was, and if you went to this movie for good family humor you clearly didn't watch the previews or Will Ferrell's career very closely.
Too Funny!
posted on 04 Aug 2009I've always loved movies will Ferrell has been in and i don't rate his movies good just because he is in it, i rate his movies good because they are just to funny, everyone thought this movie coming out was just going to be Reily and Ferrell throwing out the F word here and there but really its not. Sure they curse every now and then but when it does happened you can not help but to laugh. Everyone in the theater was just cracking up from the opening of the movie to the very end and i was one of those people. Ferrel and Reily make a great comedy team and i hope i see them in future movies together.10/10 definitely worth seeing!
painfully bad
posted on 30 Aug 2009I have an old English dictionary at home and on page 564 there is the world Ferrelitas . It's meaning is " The sickening nauseous feeling you get when you have had to endure another lame Will Ferrel movie" . OK I'm joking but wouldn't it be great if it was true?! What is it with this Man? What fascination does American have with him? Who finds him funny? I cant answer these questions so perhaps you can help me.Brennan Huff is a sporadically employed thirty-nine-year-old who lives with his mother, Nancy . Dale Doback is a a terminally unemployed forty-year-old who lives with his father, Robert . 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.At the very start of this movie there is a funny quote that comes on the screen it says. " families is where our nation finds hope, where wings takes dream" : Actual quote from George W Bush. I laughed for the one and only time during the movie. Because its funny . It's just a shame George W Bush didn't have any input into writing the script. In fact he could have played one of the step brothers. His natural stupidity would have been more interesting than either Will Ferrels or John Reilly performances. If you like the though of watching to grown men pretend to be retarded while relaying countless butt jokes then maybe you might just like Step Brother but if you do , then god help you. Yet again Jud Apatow is credited as a co writer for this film and I'm tired of his humour. I know i keep moaning about his films and really i should stay away from them but they remain extremely popular so i feel i should do my duty to warn people as to how bad they are.Step Brothers is maybe not Ferrels worst movie ( there are so many) but it is certainly the worst Apatow film i have seen and if you don't mind i need to go have a lie down as i think I'm coming down with a case of apatowostrophy.... You work it out.3 out of 10
