This flicks fundamental message about blended families uniting together could have gone somewhere, but the story line gets lost someplace in the process. Most of this film deals with the fact that a couple of idiots, Brennan and Dale (played by Will Ferrell and John Reilly), don't like each other. The ironic thing is that while they seem to the think the other one is unusual and dim-witted they don't seem to realize they're nearly the same. The aggression between Brennan and Dale in the first half-hour of Step Brothers is horrible bordering on unbearable, like nails on a chalkboard being scraped together.

It's not enjoyable watching them brawl and demolish the house. After weeks of the two battling we eventually get to meet Brennan's younger, more well-to-do brother Derek and the two form an unlikely alliance to take him down.

Rumor has it that, this is supposed to be funny. Little positive can be said about this waste of time of a movie. When will Hollywood stop turning out this garbage?

A real grab bag here of good scenes mixed with absolute and complete crap. I said that out loud, didn't I? There's abosultely nothing positive I can say about this flick. It was definitely one of the worst movies I've seen all year.

If it looks senseless in the trailer, it's worse in person.

Check out the trailer below to see what I mean.

I know Will Ferrell is a comedic actor but I'm kinda getting tired of him doing the same movies over and over again! They're just not funny anymore. Thanks for posting.

My 16 year-old thinks it's genius...  I liked it to, so maybe I'm suffering from arrested development!!

Maybe I need to see it again, because I got the same impression as Vincent from this movie.  Martin and Lewis, I think not.  I expected Will Ferrell to be funny, but in this movie, he tries to act dumber than even he can pull off, and the result is just embarrassing.  There are some relatively funny bits, but I think the producers just put together a series of bits and there really isn't a story tying it all together.  Just a couple guys acting stupid for an hour and a half.  So, if you have seen the previews, you have seen the funny parts, why waste your money renting the movie?
