Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Pete Hammond (936) for Hollywood.com (1,014) on 30 Sep 2008

A sometimes amusing, occasionally hilarious summer laugh fest…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Jason Di Rosso (253) for MovieTime, ABC Radio National (314) on 18 Sep 2008

Like toothpaste from a tube, every last laugh is squeezed from this absurd premise, where both men pushing forty act like they're 14…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Pauline Adamek (25) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 18 Sep 2008

Thanks to their ability to convincingly portray adults who have never emotionally advanced beyond their pre-adolescent years, Ferrell and Reilly…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 18 Sep 2008

One thing spoils the mood: for all the joy that Ferrell and Reilly take in brawling or whimpering like two-year-olds, immaturity is still seen…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 18 Sep 2008

Between occasional guffaws and more frequent hand-over-mouth, oh-my-God moments, I started to think about where American comedy has come from…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 14 Sep 2008

Reilly is a good foil for Ferrell, but too many of their scenes together have the effect of improv night at the comedy club…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Sun Staff (1) for The Sun (UK) (932) on 28 Aug 2008

Most of all, it is great to see Ferrell beating his addiction to sports comedies, following Semi-Pro, Blades Of Glory and Talladega Nights…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 28 Aug 2008

Sporadically funny, and ridiculous enough to keep some fans happy ... but even a solid cast can't sustain one joke this long…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Charlotte O'sullivan (637) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 28 Aug 2008

Dude, the film so totally happens to be great…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Larushka Ivan-Zadeh (441) for Metro (UK) (700) on 28 Aug 2008

Funny as it is watching balding middle-aged men clowning like eight-year-olds - particularly when it involves Ferrell man-crying - it soon…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 28 Aug 2008

For a while their stupid rivalry, insults and petulant displays of outrage are funny, but like the talented child who won't be quiet for a…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By David Edwards (979) for Daily Mirror (UK) (1,133) on 28 Aug 2008

A middling movie that provides just enough laughs to keep you watching, the whole thing feels two or three rewrites short of completion…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Matt Mueller (72) for Total Film (3,532) on 28 Aug 2008

You'll laugh a ton, but you might also feel that you can have too much of a good thing…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Elliott Noble (448) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 28 Aug 2008

Yet as Ferrell and Reilly babble, yell, and clobber themselves silly in the (fruitless) pursuit of laughs over 97 excruciating minutes, anyone…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 28 Aug 2008

Adam McKay's movie hits inspiration often enough to overcome its pedestrian plot, and the sight of Ferrell bawling like a baby somehow gets…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By James Christopher (268) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 28 Aug 2008

Digestible if you can stomach the crude nostalgia. A disaster if you expect art and crafts…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Richard Luck (100) for Film4 (1,522) on 28 Aug 2008

You'll have seen a lot of this before but that won't be a problem for lovers of 'big' comedy and die-hard Ferrell fans…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Tom Huddlestone (75) for Time Out (7,510) on 28 Aug 2008

Despite some obvious flaws, 'Step Brothers' remains a hugely enjoyable, well-constructed slice of lowbrow Saturday night entertainment, leaving…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (Uk) (87) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 28 Aug 2008

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

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 27 Aug 2008

Enjoyable comedy that wrings maximum laughs from its one-joke premise, thanks to terrific comic performances from Ferrell and Reilly…
