Step Brothers
Step Brothers, a comedy directed and written by Adam McKay, is set for release on July 25, 2008. The movie stars Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Adam Scott, Mary Steenburgen, Kathryn Hahn.
The film tells a story where a woman with a sporadically employed thirty-nine-year-old son gets married to a man living with his unemployed forty-year-old son. Accordingly, the guys — Brennan Huff and Dale Doback — become stepbrothers. Being forced to live together, neither can tolerate the other. As a result, the new family faces the threat of divorce and in order to avoid this, the stepbrothers decide to leave the house.
Film School Rejects reviews the script of the film.
It is a script that has everything necessary to become another enjoyable flick — we have two custom-fit leads whose characters are familiar, but still hilarious; we have a premise that is absolutely ridiculous — two competitive step brothers, both struggling to adjust to the adult worlds they should have been living in for 20 odd years already; and we have plenty of memorable one liners. It was a script that had me looking like a mildly retarded kid, sitting in a coffee shop bursting out into laughter every 5 minutes for no apparent reason. There is a reason, folks — and it lies in the film Step Brothers. And if you haven’t seen the first publicity shot that was released last week, go see it here and you will know what I mean.
There aren’t many posts about the trailer however, but according to Kevin Lehane post the movie seems to be really funny.
“Will Ferrel movies are so surreal I find them hilarious. This looks like another laugh out loud oddity.”
