Step Brothers

Everyone knows that all the funny bits of movies are always shown in the trailers. but the good thing about Step Brothers was that there was so much funny shit in there that the movie completely took me by surprise.
After hearing that Tropic thunder was the bomb (which i thought was subsequently a bit overrated) i went into SB with no expectations. me and night hawk were talking about it before hand and both agreed that ignoring any hype would be the best way to go about it.

will ferrell plays the part of brennan, a part that he was pretty much made for. if i had heard the plot for this movie, i would have cast will ferrell in a heartbeat. and john c reilly was equally as hilarious as dale. having not seen Dewey cox story with john c reilly in it, i didnt know what his comic talents were but he is in the same mould as ferrell.
after both having recent movies that were supposedly not up to thier usual genius (semi pro and dewey cox) it was good to see two kings of comedy return to thier thrown.
there were countless lines that, living with tom and cal, i know im gunna be hearing a lot of in the next few weeks. me and thomas even got inspiration for our code names on this blog off SB when at the start they are introduced:
"hey... im brennan..."
"hey... im dale... you can call me Dragon..."
"well you can call me night hawk..."
There was also some area where other comedies have not gone before, like when they both go to the local primary school and beat up a bunch of 12 year old kids.
at stages it got a bit crude like when you get to see extensive coverage of brennan(ferrell) rubbing his ballsack on dales drumkit, but this was still funny.

But in the end, the seesaw-ing relationship between dale and brennan, the ridiculously good looking mother of a 40 year old, and the insane younger brother with his cheating erotica wife, all make for a good viewing.
