One of the funniest movies of recent years…, 29 August 2008
8/10
Author: gregmovies from United States

So far, Step Brothers is the best comedy of the year. Ferrell and John C. Reilly are my two favorite comic actors (although Reilly is even better in his dramatic roles, such as Officer Jim in 'Magnolia") and both shine here. The jokes and antics are non-stop and very few fall flat. The films 'R' rating really allows Ferrell and McKay to take their jokes all the way, and in my view, makes the movie funnier than McKay, Ferrell, and O'Reilly's earlier effort "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby".

I give "Step Brothers" 8/10, one of my favorite comedies. If you liked this movie, try "Talladega Nights", "Anchorman", and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story".
