Movie Review: Step Brothers

Until I was carded buying the ticket (I am 20, not 17, and still getting carded, pretty crazy) I had no idea that "Step Brothers" was rated "R." I was reminded of it's over 17 rating when I witnessed Will Ferrell rubbing his manly parts all over John C. Reilly's drum set.


Besides the part when step brothers Brennan Huff (Ferrell) and Dale Doback (Reilly) create terrible and dangerous homemade bunk beds, the movie does not have as many belly busting laughs as the duo's last movie "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby." There are many awkward moments where you don't know whether to be grossed out or laugh. Also, their sister in-law who decides to push herself on Reilly's character was just plain strange.

My advice would be to watch the "Can We Build A Bunk Bed?" clip here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92794521&ps=bb1 and then pop in the "Talladega Nights" DVD.
