it may be dumb but it still gets me laughing...
and the t shirts that both of them wear throughout the movie are freaking awesome!

Regardless of the massive amount of times I've seen this, Step Brothers never loses its hilarity or charm.
A completely laid-back and honest comedy, it's original in its plot and witty in its dialogue.
It's incredible crudeness is balanced out by its cuteness and quirky soundtrack.
I just think its absolutely brilliant. I have for 5 years, and no doubt will continue to for many more to come.
It's not worth 5 stars. But for all the evenings it's helped me laugh through, I couldn't possibly give it any less.

Well, this is definitely not Will Ferrell's best movie. However at times the movie is actually pretty funny, not to mention very quotable! So I did enjoy it! Just don't go in expecting it to be as funny as Anchorman.

Some films come out and tackle important social and political issues...
Some films explore complex characters and their questionable actions...
Some films are created to show technical masterclass and create new unthinkable worlds...
Some films dig into mankinds past to see where we have gone wrong or right to reach our current position...
Some films are designed specifically to generate powerful emotions from the spectator, hate, fear, disgust...
And then there's a film like Step Brothers.
A film which does all of the above. Truly a masterpiece and could go as the perfect counterpiece to Malick's Tree of Life...

Hysterical.

Totally juvenile and almost without a plot but I laughed to the point of tears at least 5 times in 90 minutes. If society allowed it, I would totally act like these guys all the time.

This may be the first movie I've ever kind of enjoyed about adults in their late 30s struggling to grow up.
Watch it for the helicopter hats at the Catalina Wine Mixer.
