2 middle aged guys who are over reliant on their parents are made to get along when their single parents get married and are forced to move in with each other.Before i start, i must just say that i am quite a fan of Will Ferrell, every comedy actor has their own style, and for me he is a master of awkwardness and makes me laugh just with his body language. I am therefore slightly biased before even seeing this film, i was expecting something extremely funny as many of his earlier films have been (Anchorman, Stranger Than Fiction etc) and was highly pleased and had a great laugh with this film. Will and John make a great and unique team and pull of loads of funny gags. 'Step Brothers' also has a rather good story line and plot which only adds to the awesome comedy served up by the step brothers and really glues everything together into a highly polished film which will keep you in stitches from start to finish. Had a great laugh watching this, if your not a fan of Will then its probably one to avoid, i know plenty who despise him and find him annoying, if you are one of these then you wont find this funny one bit. If however you are a fan or have never even heard of him watch this flick, you wont be disappointed and for me is one of the greatest comedies of 2008!
Pros - Achieved what it set out to do, make people laugh! Plenty of moments where you will find it hard to control your laughter and may even shed a tear or two, i did in one part anyway because i laughed so hard. This movie also has a good sub-plot playing out with the rest of the family members which adds to this already great movie. Just see it, its a great laugh and well-worth the ticket price!
Cons - If your not a fan of Will or John then you will find this movie painful, it is mostly them throughout so the film does rely heavily on these two main actors to provide most of the laughs. Apart from this everything else was sweet, laughs galore with plenty of bonuses provided from other members of the cast and an interesting storyline. Go and see, but be prepared to laugh and possibly not be able to stop!
