Step Brothers



Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly re-team with that film's director, Adam McKay, to tell the tale of two pampered best friends whose single parents fall in love and decide to marry. McKay and Ferrell share screenwriting credits, and Judd Apatow and Jimmy Miller produce.
I'm not a big Will Ferrell fan. Semi-Pro, from earlier this year, was awful. However, maybe Step Brothers is an example of movies to come. Step Brothers is a hilarious movie. From beginning to end there were more than enough laughs to make it one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Not only did I think it was funny, but fellow theater goers thought it was funny also because the entire crowd was laughing along with me. It will deserve a second viewing on dvd because the theater was laughing so often that I missed many of the verbal hilarities do to too much crowd laughter.
Ironically, movie critics do not agree. Over all, critics gave Step Brothers average to poor reviews. What can I say...They are wrong. Jamie says "9".

This movie was hilarious! It proves that Will Ferrell is an incredibly funny actor. And chemisty with John C. Riley was flawless. There were moments in this film where I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard. Long live King Ferrell!
