Step Brothers (2008) 7/10

Starring : Will Ferrell, John C Reilly, Mary Steenburgen, Richard Jenkins, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn
Director : Adam McKay
Running Time : 106 mins

When Nancy Huff (Steenburgen) and Robert Doback (Jenkins) get married, they find themselves sharing a house with their respective forty year old sons Brennan (Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly). The new brothers despise each other, and become increasingly protective of their parents, until they find common ground in regards to Brennan's younger brother Derek (Scott).

This is one of those gross out movies that can either be a hit or a miss in most peoples books. There are some cringeworthy moments, but on the whole Ferrell and Reilly manage to keep their juvenile and mildly backward characters both likeable and irritating from start to finish.
