Good 3.0
A moderately funny setup that puts Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in moderately funny situations, but doesn’t go above and beyond other Will Ferrell movies.
-
Very Good 3.5
Will Ferrell, Mary Steenburgen, Richard Jenkins, and John C. Reilly write the definition for dysfunctional family.

Very Good 3.5
A solid comedy with solid acting and a good plot. Some very witty, funny, and at the same time vulgar dialogue is exchanged between the step brothers. You will laugh at it.

Direction Very Good 3.5
-
Play Great 4.0
The funniest exchange being an argument between the brothers about who gets the “fancy sauce.”

Horrid 3.7
Vulgar, inappropriate, and crass references to sex run rampant in this film. There is a shot of someone’s testicles being rubbed on a drum.

Fire at Will!

I guess that surreal would have been a better bet – it’s just that whilst everything that occurs can be seen to be a bit crazy, it’s not beyond the realms of reality for someone to have done what they do! Sounds stupid but I guess that’s why I put that. You definitely should see it, the bunk-bed scene is great but you will be surprised how raunchy and offensive it is too! Great movie. |

Thanks for the endorsement Will. I’ve kinda wanted to see this since seeing the very funny trailer in front of Semi-Pro. In particular, I still get a laugh every time I see the bunk bed scene. My only question about your review: completely Natural? Really? We all know plenty of dudes who are stuck in extended adolescence, but I’m thinking this movie pushes outside the reality envelope. |
