Will Ferrell (Semi-Pro) and John C. Reilly (Walk Hard) are comedy gold together. If you’ve seen Talladega Nights:The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, then you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, then you should probably quit reading them, go see it, then continue reading this review for their newest movie Step-Brothers. This movie was much funnier than I expected, and I really enjoyed it.

Brennan (Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly) are two 40 year old men still living with their parents. When their parents meet at a conference the two fall in love and decide to get married, making their sons step-brothers. Although they have similar lifestyle and are forced to share a room, the boys hate each other. When they begin working together against Brennan’s younger, more successful brother they finally realize they have much in common and quickly become best friends. As their friendship progresses, their parents marriage grows apart leading to the ultimate decision of divorce. But what will happen to Brennan and Dale? Well, they must go out into the big world on their own and see if they can finally grow up and become men.

Whether these two are best friends or enemies they are hilarious to watch. Some people may think Ferrell is just up to his old schtick, which I can see what they mean, but I love it. He was in his element with this movie, and it was much better than some of his other roles as of late. It’s hard to not watch Reilly in a movie and not think afterwards that he has another great performance in his pocket – even if the movie surrounding him is terrible, luckily that’s not the case in this instance.

Not only are Ferrell and Reilly reteamed for Step-Brothers, but so are Ferrell and director/writer Adam McKay (Anchorman). They’re reteamed before (on FunnyorDie.com – you may have heard of the Pearl skits, if not go watch them now!) but not on the big screen. McKay has a great way of shooting comedic scenes and shows them with wonderful timing.

Step-Brothers is a great way to pass the night. It’s a little more graphic for a comedy and is rated R for a reason, but that didn’t bother me. I’d give the movie a B+ and can’t wait to buy it on DVD.
