In Step Brothers, two lazy, underemployed 40-something men -- Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) and Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) -- still live at home with their parents, enjoying a life of perpetual adolescence devoid of ambition and responsibility. This state of bliss (to them) is disrupted when their respective parents -- Robert (Richard Jenkins) and Nancy (Mary Steenburgen) -- fall in love and get married. Suddenly, Brennan and Dale find themselves step brothers. They start off truly loathing each other, with Dale having the upper hand since they're living in his dad's house. There are certain ground rules set by Dale, in particular that Brennan must stay out of his Beat Laboratory (the room where his drums are kept). They almost kill each other one night, but there's nothing quite like a common enemy to bring two warring sides together. Action and science-fiction films on DVD often have the edge when it comes to video and audio quality, but comedies (especially the improvisation-based ones popularized by Judd Apatow and company) often make for the best and most entertaining collection of extras, and this release is no exception. Besides the copious amounts of outtakes, alternate takes and extended scenes, there are a few bonus features here that have been created specifically with the DVD in mind. The first disc in this two-disc set contains both the theatrical and extended version of the film, as well as extended and deleted scenes. The audio commentary is provided by Ferrell, Reilly and McKay, with "special guest" NBA star Baron Davis. One of the coolest features on this disc is the commentary score -- yes, a score written especially for the commentary -- by the film's composer Jon Brion. The second disc contains the bulk of the special features.

As soon as they get together, the two start fighting and hating one another. They soon learn how much they have in common with one another. Their love for numb-chucks, girlie magazines, ninjas, COPS, John Stamos, and the comforts of years...Read full review of no responsibility. This wild run frenzy is never ending. I'll just say that I've never seen anything quite so silly in my life. The Unrated version is absolutely gross, yet fantastically creative. This would make a grown man cry to see such foolishness. I would like to give this film a better than average score, but after much thought, I can't it any more than a 3/5 for mediocrity and stupidity. It's worth a late night watch at least once just to make you aware of how ridiculous the movie producers are getting to come up with something new and different for people to watch. I'm sure this will run forever and a day on HBO, Cinemax, or Showtime. IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW BY VOTING. THANKS!Read full review
I've been disappointed in most of Will Ferrell's movies, but not all. I absolutely loved Elf, Talladega Nights had its moments but was just alright, and I was really disappointed in Semi-Pro. This is a perfect movie for Will. Step Brothers teams him with John C. Reilly, who worked with him previously in Talladega Nights. Talladega had its ups and downs, but Step Brothers keeps you laughing throughout. Farrell and Reilly are at their adolescent best playing two forty year olds who still live at home with their single parent. When the parents hook up and get married, Farrell and Reilly are then step brothers. They start out as rivals, but as the movie goes along, they end up liking each other. They realize they're just like one another, a Mama's boy and a Daddy's boy. There are laughs at every turn of this movie (unlike Semi-Pro), and I definitely recommend Step Brothers. It's hilarious.Read full review
Dale Doback (Reilly) and Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) are more than just deadbeat losers. They sponge off their parents and are way past failure to launch men-children. After a much needed change in there lives, the single parents of these two hit it off and soon find themselves starting off as a happily married couple with a grown son a piece. As soon as they get together, the two start fighting and hating one another. They soon learn how much they have in common with one another. Their love for numb-chucks, girlie magazines, ninjas, COPS, John Stamos, and the comforts of years of no responsibility. This wild run frenzy is never ending. I'll just say that I've never seen anything quite so silly in my life. The Unrated version is absolutely gross, yet fantastically creative. This would make a grown man cry to see such foolishness. I would like to give this film a better than average score, but after much thought, I can't it any more than a 3/5 for mediocrity and stupidity.
