Step Brothers
If you have yet to see the trailer for Step Brothers, stop reading and watch it now. Once done, come back.
Done? Good. What you think? Does this film look like the best Will Ferrell comedy to date? While I do agree that Ferrell and John C. Reilly make an awesome team, 'best' is always a big claim.
Screening Report: Step Brothers
The first screening report to appear for Step Brothers over at AICN does use the word 'best' and points out that, even though the film's running time is unusually long for a comedy, the laughs come nonstop.
I will say this was probably the best Will Ferrell film I've seen to date. Much better than most of his "sports" themed films (including Semi-Pro, which I also caught early). Ferrell is at his best easily playing off the AMAZING John C. Reilly. You get the feeling halfway in that we may just be seeing the budding of one of the great comedy duo's of all time. I’m talking Matthau and Lemmon good. The movie plays and feels like an Apatow film. Not nearly as cheesy as Talledega, Blades of Glory, or Semi-Pro. This is a situation that could definitlely happen in real life and the film plays that way. There is plenty of vulgar dialouge, including your typical fart, dick, and vomit gags, as well as even a scrotum appearance, which earned massive laughs. I'd put the F bomb count and somewhere in the 150-200 range, so this is definitely looking at a hard R. (YES!!!)
