Step Brothers | Ratings & Reviews

"Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly re-unite with their Talladega Nights director Adam McKay for Step Brothers. They play two middle-aged dead beats whose respective single parents get hitched and move the two families in under the one roof. Competition soon gives way to friendship as they reluctantly struggle away from the cosy confines of extended adolescence."

"The feel-bad comedy of the year!"

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"Ferrell and Reilly get more mileage out of juvenile pouting and bickering than any other performers I can imagine, but that's about as far as this goes."

Chicago ReaderChicago Reader

"This is a loud, ugly, foul comedy whose shortcomings extend far into the supporting cast..."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"With such a lame premise, the search for laughs grows more frantic with each passing hum-drum minute."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Stupid, crude and hilarious, Step Brothers works by sneaking past our better judgment."

SalonSalon

"(Step Brothers) rejoices in making a virtue of its own rampant stupidity."

The Irish TimesThe Irish Times

"Unremittingly juvenile and irredeemably funny."

CNNCNN

"The film is funny at times but lapses into the reflexive vulgarity that seems to be the default mechanism of the Apatow machinery."

VarietyVariety

"They're losers that only a mother, an entertainment manager or a gang of self-satisfied comedy insiders could love."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Stupid, crude and hilarious, Step Brothers works by sneaking past our better judgment."

SalonSalon

"Starting at infantile and regressing hysterically from there, Step Brothers flies on the comic chemistry of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"Step Brothers is a hard R, for good reason. While it's somewhat sweeter, if you will, than a typical Apatow flick, the ludicrous situations call for equally ludicrous behavior and statements."

Premiere MagazinePremiere Magazine

"Ferrell relives his youth in this simple, ridiculously absurd and yet funny film."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"It's no Anchorman, but it's several steps in the right direction."
