March 24, 2012I dont think ill ever get over this film, makes me laugh uncontrollably, but i wont understand how it got a rating of 55%?!

March 1, 2012A hilarious film with non-stop laughs. John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell are a perfect comedic duo.
-
February 25, 2012I think the plot in Step Brothers is adequate purposefully. I expect nothing less then absolute hilarity from producer Judd Apatow. He delivers this with Step Brothers, one of the most silly, immature, hilarious films of all time.
-
February 22, 2012Not exactly the best of films (or the best of scripts) but I really like this simply because it's about growing up but still being young at heart and chasing your dreams. It's funny (most of the time) and is just such an easy and cheerful watch. A lot of 'comedies' have really sa... read more

January 8, 2012Funny duo play step brothers in this movie. Not only do they look alike, they behave a like. They are both 40 and still live at home with a parent. When their parents get married to get other and move in together, they become step brothers. They go through a love hate relationshi... read more

October 28, 2011When I first saw Step Brothers I wasn't sure If I liked it or not. The more I saw it I realized it is probably one of the funniest and most quote movies I have ever seen. Its plot is nothing exciting but Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly's chemistry is spot on which makes this movi... read more

August 8, 2011'Step Brothers' is one of the better comedies of the past few years that works due to Will Ferrell and John C. Reiley, who ad-lib throughout, which is much smarter than the scripted moments. However, I do find this a very funny and well-memorable comedy that is perfect for multip... read more

August 6, 2011Very funny but dumb as hell. When their parents get married, two 40 year olds named Brennan and Dale (Will ferell, John C Reilly) who still live with their parents become Step Brothers, and are at first enemies, but soon realize they are the perfect allies who will create hell f... read more

July 31, 2011fb729949618Will Ferrell remains funny despite this awkward movie consisting of a pair of 40 year old stepbrothers.

July 8, 2011Dale Doback: Brennan you're alive! Oh my God!
Brennan Huff: I know. I'm alive.
Dale Doback: You were dead. I saw you die.
Brennan Huff: I was faking. I used ninja focus to slow my heart rate down.
Although obviously stupid, Step Brothers is a funny movie at times. The first ... read more

Don't watch it on an airplane, don't check it out on cable, don't walk past the bargain basement bin where it's been sold.

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
There's a good subject for satire here, the extended adolescence of American kids. But satire presupposes maturity, or at least some perspective. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The concept is inherently funny, but the plot grows thin and the laughs grow fewer once the premise is established. Full Review

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
A movie of unrelenting idiocy featuring boorish behaviour, unrealistic character development and ludicrous plotting. Full Review

Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
Ferrell, the Hollywood star most notorious for going naked in his movies, shows off only his belly, and that for a teasing second. For most of the rest of the time, you'll be reveling in, or enduring,... Full Review

Stupid, crude and hilarious, Step Brothers works by sneaking past our better judgment. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It's not subtle, not the cleverest thing Apatow has put his name on. But for lowdown, cheap and dirty laughs, it's pretty hard to beat Reilly and Ferrell, riffing, trashing and trash-talking each othe... Full Review

Although the comedy is a little messed-up and childish itself, it still delivers a few good laughs. Full Review

I thought I knew funny, but I was mistaken. Before the blessed light of Step Brothers entered my life, I knew not the sweet comedic splendors of live burial, bunk-bed catastrophe or a minivan family s... Full Review
