4. "Many seem to doubt it but its a very funny movie" In response to Reply # 0
if you're a fan of either you'll agree this is them at their comedic best in a while. I haven't really been up to any Will Ferrell comedy since his Blades and Semi-Pro weren't good imo.
This surprised the hell out of me since it was funny throughout not solely cause of the Will & Jonh C. but the supporting cast is hilarious esp. the brother of John C. & the guy from The Daily Show (can't remember his name).
I came in not knowing shit about the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. The trailers don't do it justice cause its a really "R" type of comedy so i'm not surprised about the skepticism but its a great.

it was good. did not blow me away, but had its very funny moments. i didn't really know what to expect cause i hated semi-pro, but this was 10 times better. Reily and Ferrel are great together and the supporting cast helps out a lot with the laughs.
7/10

Ferrell and Reily work very well together. They're essentially playing the same character, but it still works very well IMO. The trailers don't do it justice tho cuz it's too R rated to include the really funny stuff. If you like Will Ferrell you should like this movie.

john: "what are yuo doing?"
will: "i'm burying you."
john: "but i'm still alive."
will: "shut up, you're waking the neighbors."
john: "my dads gonna wonder where i'm at"
will: "he'll neeever know your gone."
after seeing that scene, coupled with the interiew scene...
"you're calling me stupid, yet you're the ones dressed in a tuxedo interviewing for a job that requires that yuo scrub toilets."
i dunno.. that shit just made thi s a must see for me. and thus far, will is a no go for me outside of anchor man and old school, as well as his cameo on wedding crashers.

> i loled after hearing will's voice in my head i could say i'm a ferrel stan i was lucky enough to see old school in theaters before all the hype i thought semi-pro was funny. he just is hilarious to me
Pass on x-files?!?? Are you serious? One of the hottest shows in the mid late 90's turned movie?...you gotta go see that even if its ass its history. Plus you gotta support a struggling actor. I haven't seen mulder or scully in anything serious.
p.s Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, Ricky Bobby....all essentially the same movie. So if ya seen one ya seen em all.

Yeah, I work at a movie theatre. And every now and then when I get time, I catch sneak peeks at the movies while at work. God knows I don't feel like staying after work.
But from what I've seen of Step Brothers, it is hilarious. It's got some crude humor, but it's overall funny. I do wish to see it on one of my days off.

29. "Funny, definitely a step up from Blades and Semi-Pro." In response to Reply # 0
However, it's probably the weakest Ferrell/McKay flick. The grossout gags weren't nearly as funny as the childishness and the fantasies at the end. Still, I laughed consistently.
33. "Truthfully it is better than I thought it would be." In response to Reply # 0
But still, not as inventive as Talladega Nights. It's true, the cast did keep the movie going pretty well since Ferrell and Reilly are the same character for most of the movie. Ferrells brother is expecially funny since I know overbearing tools that act like him. I'd say the last 1/4 of it is the best.

I thought the sleep walking would be suspect when it first started, but that shit got ridicuolous. The 2nd one when he is pounding on him with the hulk hands, classic.
again people don't think this is quotable, shit i have hardly said anything original between me and my stoner friends for almost a week. Damn did everyone hate Blades of Glory Will arnett is the fucking man, i thought that shit was hilarious.

I'm just comparing Will Ferrell movies. I think everything he's done has been good for comedy, even Kicking & Screaming and his roll in Bewitch. No doubt Blades of Glory had its moments, but I think Step Brothers has quotable but not AS much as his previous movies with McKay.

some shit was comedy. some shit made me laugh, i laughed hysterically maybe once.
but
where the fuck was the plot? who wrote this?
interesting premise, very uneven execution of that premise. the brother- the guy everyone seemed to think stole the show- generated a few slight chuckles.
i laughed abit
but all in all it was one long reminder of why i never watch will ferrel movies.
