I thought that it is supposed to be a comedy..., 6 November 2008
1/10
Author: Aadyii from United Kingdom

I like both actors and most of their movies, but Step Brothers was a 1 hour and 45 minutes of boredom and mixed feelings.

I seriously thought that this movies is a comedy but after a 10 or 20 minutes I realised that I did not have any laugh so far, not even a single smile on my face... The movie bet on two points that might make people laugh. One of them is situational comedy but many times so absurd it is not funny at all. More like pathetic or awkward. The other point is Will Ferrell and John Reilly cursing on each other. There was no intelligent humour whatsoever and my first laugh came like 10 minutes before the end.

I expected much much more and so this movie is a big disappointment. I hope that these two actors will forget this movie and try to work on something more enjoyable.
