7/10
A Good Comedy with a barrel of Laughs
19 September 2021
Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly join forces in a comedy about 40 year old men who become step brothers in this classic comedy appropriately titled "Step Brothers". This film stars Will Ferrell as Brennan Huff, a man in his 40s who lives with his mother (played by Mary Steenburgen) who meets Dr. Robert Doback (played by Richard Jenkins) at a local presentation when a spark hits both of them. Eventually they get married and become a happy couple with a happy family. John C. Reilly also stars in this film as Dale Doback, the son of Dr. Doback. He and Brennan eventually meet and start out as strangers who hate each other while living in the same house. Adam Scott co-stars in the movie as Derek Huff, Brennan's younger brother who also happens to be a professional real estate agent. This movie is one of my favorite comedies that also happens to have a selective funny moments, in one particular scene, Brennan and Dale have a fight around the house when Dale accuses Brennan of playing with his drum set with proof that he left a mark on the drumstick and fight around the house like a couple of children. This movie was actually a blast to sit through because I thought that the concept was very entertaining, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly work really well together as a comedy duo and it's one of Will Ferrell's best performances in my opinion. I give this movie a 7 out of 10 stars.
