Step Brothers

View Date: 10/10/09

This movie has Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly playing adults who live at home and are basically drains on society. When their parents get married, they reluctantly, or you could say violently, are forced to become family. They soon discover that they have more in common than just their hatred of each other, and become best friends. Of course, they wind up getting split up by various circumstances, but come back together in the end.

I had hesitated to see this, finally doing so only reluctantly. It was really pretty funny, even if the basic story line is routine. These guys go way over the top and they do make an incredible pair. Unfortunately, all of Will Ferrell's movies are starting to look alike, and I'm kind of getting tired of them. John C. Reilly can pull off the stupid-funny, like in this movie or Walk Hard, but that makes it hard to remember that he has actual talent, as seen in Chicago.

10 words or less: Funny, but enough already.
