Step Brothers

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have a unique brand of chemistry that can really only be appreciated by those who loved Talladega Nights. Now, being one of those that did, not only did I expect Step Brothers to be laugh out loud funny; but to only further cement the comedic genius of the two [as well]. --NOT to make me feel like a f'n retard.

Step Brothers, for lack of better praise, is the most idiotic, simplistic piece of Hollywood bullshit known to man and is somewhat embarrassing. You would think, two well renowned actors/comedians such as Ferrell and Reilly would have a much higher standard when it comes to their work; but Step Brothers is childish and contrite for even the simplest of minds. It has no substance whatsoever and this just in, it's not particularly funny either.

Sure, a few bright spots are here and there but those are few and far between. In no way do they cover up the deficiencies of this film, however, and for the first time, I actually found a movie that made ME feel dumb for watching it.

Why? It's quite simple. All the unnecessary profanity and vocal dexterity took away from the plot and when you do that, you're reduced to something less appealing. In laments terms--this movie is so full of itself, it's damn near committing incest right before our very eyes. As blunt as that may sound it's the truth and with that comes great responsibility. Unfortunately, the tandem of Ferrell and Reilly didn't get that memo.
