Film Review Step brothers (2008) 15


Will Ferrell (Brennan) and John C. Reilly (Dale) put on a fantastic performance as two forty-something men who still live with their parents. They have no ambition and still act like adolescents who have no interest in becoming an independent adult. But, unfortunately the time has come where both their parents fall in love and end up creating a step family, much to the dislike of both the adolescent men. They absolutely loath each other and find every way to argue and pick fault. The newly formed family has been moved into Dale’s father’s house so he sets the rules. The main rule is don’t touch the drum kit, which has hilarious scenes later on in the film when Brennan decides to rub his privates over the drum kit to taunt Dale. They soon find a common ground though; a common enemy. Brennan much accomplished younger brother Derek (played by Adam Scott). He made Brennans life hell growing up and still is. When Dales father takes a liking to Derek it’s obvious that Dale will not. So with Brennan and Dale’s common hatred, they are brought closer together and eventually have to try and save their parents relationship. With lots of laughs and unpredictable humour Step Brothers is just one of those films that many can relate to.
