DVD Reviews of Step Brothers (Theatrical Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: How could a movie this stupid be this funny?
Summary: 3 Stars
Three stars may seem too high or too low depending on your personal feelings on this film, but for me it seems just about right. The movie is about as stupid as the day is long, but in its defense, for the audience that it is targeting, it also proves to be about as funny as the day is long too. This is not a date movie, nor is it a movie for most women (you can add children and seniors and very strict, easily offended individuals to that list too). What it is, is a movie for males, ages 18-35 (ish) who want to embrace their inner child.
Quite frankly, this is a movie about two overgrown children, and what guy (in that age bracket) doesn't wish they could just be a child from time to time?
Brennan is 39, Dale is 40. Both live with their parent (Brennan with his mother, Dale with his father) and both are completely dependant and obnoxiously immature. They are thirteen year olds really. When Brennan and Dale are forced to live with one another (when their parents get hitched) there is immediate resentment (and a lot of fighting) but when Dale proves himself to Brennan by standing up to Brennan's equally obnoxious yet financially successful brother Derek, the two become the best of friends.
"Quick, on the count of three name you're favorite dinosaur."
When their parents force them to be responsible, they find it hard, but when their actions cause pain to the ones they love the most they find that inside their bodies lies a grownup waiting to come out.
This could have easily been a forgettable mess, but the cast is to in tune with the film (and they all know this is above and beyond ridiculous, so they play to that weakness and make it a strength) that it becomes an uproarious experience, even if you're rolling your eyes at the films universal stupidity. Will Ferrell is always able to make me laugh, even when his films are less than brilliant, and here he does it again. Like in `Talladega Nights' though, he is easily upstaged by John C. Reilly who once again dominates this film. They work great together though, and honestly, any other two actors in these roles wouldn't have worked; at all. The supporting cast is also great, especially Richard Jenkins (he is on a role) and Mary Steenburgen. Adam Scott is the perfect example of the worst person you could possibly become, and Kathryn Hahn captures the comedic side to, well, being married to the worst human you could ever marry.
Yes, the film is above and beyond offensive. It has jokes about any and everything perverted and gross and it manages to fill it's dialog with the same four letter word quite frequently, but if that is something that rubs you wrong than maybe you shouldn't even be reading this review. Know that with all that offence comes a boat load of laughs (HA, boats...and hoes) and those laughs help you forget just how stupid this movie really is.
I'll watch it again.
