    I enjoyed this movie. It’s not my favourite movie ever, occasionally it made me feel icky. However it was quite funny at times, and the plot was unique. I did like it. The ending was good and wholesome, mostly. I was certainly hoping the parents were going to get back together!

    3/10 I think there was more cuss words in this movie than I’ve heard in my entire life. Not my type of movie. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the part where they threw the dad down the stairs. 10/10 moment

    My best friend showed me this movie because he thought it was the best comedy he’d ever seen, but I wouldn’t say that. What I will say is that this movie does a great job at being funny and although it’s stupid, it’s a funny comedy. And Ferrell and Reilly are awesome. 8.3/10

Step Brothers has comic fuel to burn, some of it unashamedly non sequitur and stupid-brilliant, but it still feels like a post-Talladega flameout.

In Step Brothers, the language is simply showing off by talking dirty. It serves no comic function, and just sort of sits there in the air, making me cringe.
