ASSI - Step Brothers starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are two adult men who still live at home with their parents, Mary Steenburgen plays Ferrell's mother, and Richard Jenkins is Reilly's father. When it is revealed that they each have an adult child still living at home is the commonality that seals the romantic deal. The film is a realistic look at how grown adult men who refuse to grow up and take responsibility for themselves exhibit the same behaviours of children who are placed in similar situations. Step Brothers is a comedy that delivers funny scenes throughout the movie, Reilly and Ferrell have the right chemistry for this film, and Jenkins and Steenburgen play the typical parental roles that really works well for this movie; the director, Adam McKay does a creditable job of capturing the tumultuous relationship between Brennen (Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly), and the effect children from previous relationships can have on a current marriage if the parents are disagreeable regarding boundaries. In true fashion to sibling rivalry the brothers hate each other, a situation brings them closer, the husband blames the wife for the conduct of the children, the children blamed themselves for the breakup, and by the end everyone is happy again. As I See It, the movie is out on DVD and worth renting or buying, so when you're looking for a good life check out Step Brothers. I give Step Brothers 3.5 blinks.
