I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd ever utter these words about a Will Ferrell vehicle, especially one with Adam McKay as collaborator—besides that Pearl video The Landlord on the internet last year—but here it is. Step Brothers is... Read more at imdb.com
Will Ferrel is one of the most likable comedy figures out there and you can really tell he and John C. Reilly have a great relationship in real life. The comedy in this film is nothing short of side-splitting and it... Read more at imdb.com

I saw an early screening of this flick tonight, and I absolutely loved it. When I first saw the Red Band trailer for Step Brothers, I knew immediately this movie was going to be funny. The trailer made me laugh... Read more at imdb.com

I have to write this review right after watching it. I hadn't been following Will Farrell lately, as I thought Semi-Pro was semi-funny and felt he was losing it. Just rented this today since I really like John C. Reilly (one... Read more at imdb.com

I liked Ferrel & Reilly as the racing team in "Talladega Nights" but this was even better. The physical comedy was outstanding and the acting itself was pitch perfect. Many critics commented on how well they did given what they had... Read more at imdb.com

I will give it this... I went into the movie not expecting much since Farrell's last (semi pro) was semi funny and actually quite bad, and Reilly's last (walk hard) was fair and had some funny spots. but this one was... Read more at imdb.com

Chicago Sun-Times
In "Step Brothers," it sounds dirty and disgusting. Step Brothers" has a premise that might have produced a good time at the movies, but when I left, I felt a little unclean. Mary Steenburgen and Richard Jenkins, two gifted actors, do what they can. ... Full Review

The Cinema Source
It's not just the least of the Ferrell/McKay collaborations; it's the worst movie Ferrell has headlined, period. Brennan and Dale, though both forty, act so childish you'll think they're borderline autistic. ... Full Review

Hartford Courant
As long as Adam McKay is deciding the fate of the comedy universe (or so it seems), he's going to enjoy it. Anchorman" (2004), in which Ferrell played a cheesy '70s news jockey, more than tripled its investment to $84-plus million in ticket sales. ... Full Review

Will and John do their best to sell you their new movie, Step Brothers, in 20 seconds. Will and John talk about how much they enjoyed the R-rating for the film, because it allowed them to cuss. ... Full Review

Sacramento Bee
But "Blades of Glory" and "Semi-Pro" are richly crafted meditations on the soul compared with "Step Brothers," which lacks even an athletic contest to hang its story on. Many punch lines play as end-of-the-day decisions, suggesting the actors were unable to come up with anything more clever than curse words or male-anatomy jokes. ... Full Review
