Step Brothers
Who's in it: Will Ferrell, John Reilly, Mary Steenburgen, Richard Jenkins, Adam Scott
What's it about: Nancy(Steenburgen) and Robert(Jenkins) have been single withtheir 40 year old songs for a long time. When they finally meet one another, they find that it must've been Fate to bring them together. Robert's son, Dale(Reilly), and Nancy's son, Brennan(Ferrell), are being forced to abandon their lifestyle and live under one roof with their newfound family. They start out hating the other with a passion. However, Nancy's other son, Derek(Scott), brings the two loafers together as friends that do everything together. When the parents break up, both step brothers feel as if the other is to blame, so they get their lives together to strike up the fire the two lovers found before.
What I Think: This movie wasn't what I had expected for it to be. I thought that the commercials were very misleading. It was better than I had expected! Ferrell and Reilly make an amazing comic duo. The storyline was great seeing as the two were acting like teenagers, but were actually two grown adults. Jenkins did a great job as an angry father and Steenburgen did great as the push over mother. Scott I have never seen before but he did great. There were some scenes of slight nudity, but all in all, this was, yet another, great movie for both comedians!
