It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Step Brothers (Bill Forrel and John B. Stacy) is perhaps the greatest work of art since Da Vinci's Monal Lisel.
Everybody agrees on one thing when it comes to this movie - it's incredibly dumb. The plot, the characters, the script, everything about this film is remarkably stupid. Luckily for me, I'm a big fan of remarkably stupid comedy films and 'Step Brothers' is certainly up there as one of my favourites.This is one of those comedies that I know is guaranteed to crack me up when I put it on. Ferrell and Reilly are both hilarious as the brothers. They know how to get laughs out of any content and this material was right up their street. 'Step Brothers' is very much a 'marmite' comedy film that certainly won't please everyone, but when it comes to plain stupid comedies, there aren't many better.
Quite literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I did not even smile while watching the film. I am slowly loosing hope for comedic films as a whole. I refuse to hop on the "so stupid it's funny" bandwagon. Have writers simply decided they don't want to work on meaningful comedy anymore? I am not a fan of Will Ferrel movies in general but I will admit that I have, once or twice, chuckled while watching one of his films. This film, in particular, contains not one redeemable moment. Characters are unrealistic and unlikable. The premise of the film is cringe worthy. I do not plan on ever watching a Will Ferell movie again.
The movie serves as yet another vehicle for Ferrell's witless drivel. Reilly provides a slightly more amusing performance but fails to achieve anything beyond vulgar childish reprimanding of Ferrell. It's Thelma and Louise meets Dumb and Dumber, except their goal meant nothing and the movie's even more childish than the latter. If only Scanners pervaded the movie and caused the lead characters' heads to explode inside the chewbacca masks, spraying brain matter and wookie hair all over the audience like a bad day at the groomers. All in all, another sad excuse for a comedy, and a laughable excuse for remnants of drama.
