I absolutely love Will Ferrell and would undoubtedly deem him as one of the funniest men in the film industry. With Anchorman being one of my favourite films I couldn't wait to rush out and buy Step Brothers as it is from the people that brought Anchorman to our screens, it also features Will Ferrell and John C Reilly as the main characters, hurrah! I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I'd actually heard very little about the film. Watching it, within minutes I was literally in tears of laughter. The script is brilliantly put together and Brennan (Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly) are the ultimate double act with some brilliant one liners and moments of comic ...  Read the complete review

Step Brothers Are you a Will Ferrell fan? Are you a John C Rielly fan? If so, then this is a film for you! The incredibly silly and outrageously funny dialogue combined with the fantastically real and hilarious acting by the two make this film in my opinion, dare i say it, better than 'Anchorman'? Will Ferrell first made me squeal as Ron Burgandy in 'Anchorman' which I heard a lot of the dialogue was made up and improvised? The fact that these clearly 35+ year olds were acting and saying the funniest and weirdest things just seemed like an entirely new genre almost 'I love lamp' and 'I have leather bound books and an apartment that ...  Read the complete review

We recently bought this film on offer in HMV for only £3, seemed like a bargain so we thought we would give it a watch and see what we thought. The story on the film is based around two men Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) who is 39 and Dale Doback (John Reilley) who is 40. Brennan lives with his Mother still and Dale still lives with his Father. Both are spoilt and still act like they are kids. One day at a work conference Brennans Mother Nancy (Mary Steenburgen) and Dales Father Robert (Richard Jenkins) meet at a work conference and have an immediate connection. It is love at first site and before they know it they are getting married. This is bad news for ...  Read the complete review

I watched this after a couple of recommendations from people. Although I found it perfectable watchable and sometimes funny, I definitely wouldn't rate it as one of my preferred films but I think that's just because it's not really in line with my sense of humour. It's an hour and a half and it's now out on DVD. ***** Storyline ***** Will Ferrell plays a 39 year old man who still lives at home with his mother. John C Reilly plays a 40 year old man who still lives at home with his father. When their parents eyes meet across a lecture hall it's love at first sight and almost immediately they are married and the family are living ...  Read the complete review

Note: appears in part on The Student Room The "arrested development" comedy has always been a popular one, depicting the exploits of emotionally immature men-children who are thoroughly inept in every part of their adult lives. Step Brothers isn't exactly original as a result, but what it is is very, very funny, largely thanks to the superb interpretation of the material by funnymen Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Brennan Huff (Ferrell) is a thirty-nine-year-old bum who has no job and still lives with his divorced mother, Nancy (Mary Steenburgen). Meanwhile, Dale Doeback (Reilly) is an ALWAYS unemployed forty-year-old who lives with his ...  Read the complete review
