Review – Step Brothers

In exchange for early parole, I let evil prison psychologists pin my eyelids open and force me to watch this movie. Okay, what really happened was Jigsaw imprisoned me in his basement and let me choose between watching this movie and sawing my own foot off (in retrospect I should have gone with the foot option). Okay, what really happened was I started out too lazy to change the channel, and by the time I figured out just how bad this was going to be its awfulness completely paralyzed me. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly reunite to play two adults still living at home. When one’s mom marries the other’s dad, the whole bunch moves in together. At first the pair inflicts repulsive boy-man high jinks on each other, but then they unite and turn on the rest of the world when their parents force them to get jobs and move out. A quick example of the typical humor level: Ferrell’s character rubs his testicles (a prop that allegedly cost $20,000 to produce) on Reilly’s cherished drum set to piss him off. Wish I’d skipped it
