Unremittingly juvenile and irredeemably funny.
Don't watch it on an airplane, don't check it out on cable, don't walk past the bargain basement bin where it's been sold.
There's a good subject for satire here, the extended adolescence of American kids. But satire presupposes maturity, or at least some perspective.
The concept is inherently funny, but the plot grows thin and the laughs grow fewer once the premise is established.
A movie of unrelenting idiocy featuring boorish behaviour, unrealistic character development and ludicrous plotting.
Ferrell, the Hollywood star most notorious for going naked in his movies, shows off only his belly, and that for a teasing second. For most of the rest of the time, you'll be reveling in, or enduring, one more exhibition of grown men playing children.
McKay and co. manage to pull off a strangely heart-warming finale.
Foul-mouthed Ferrell comedy isn't very funny. No kids.
You know you're in trouble when the cleverest parts of your movie are the ironic T-shirts, worn unironically ... (but) a bonus is deserved by the person who dug up the Pablo Cruise shirt.
Step Brothers is a rowdy, rambunctious, fitful, against-the-wall comedy. Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, and director writer Adam McKay heave comedy, like spaghetti, against the wall. About half sticks; the other half makes a real mess.
... surpreendente que, em meio a tanta estupidez, o filme seja realmente engraçado e consiga criar dois personagens tăo carismáticos, chegando a incluir, aqui e ali, momentos que, de uma forma sutil, se revelam tocantes.
It's one joke, already predictable, and it gets old fast.
...flat-out entertaining...
The two-disc unrated Blu-ray version of Step Brothers comes with more extras than you'd ever expect (or ask for).
Only occasionally funny and about three times as long as the material justifies, it's boring and just a little bit embarrassing to sit through.
Both of these basement dwellers should have been sent to their rooms . . . for 98 minutes.
When Step Brothers is funny, it's hilarious. But when it isn't funny, the second hand of your watch sounds peculiarly loud.
