Goofs:
Factual errors: In the Wine Mixer scene when Dale is first playing drum rolls, it sounds like he is playing them with drum sticks, but it is showed he is playing them with yarn mallets. In real life performing a drum roll with mallets would not sound the same as performing it with drum sticks, and would be a lot more difficult. more

Ferrell and Reilly Stepped It Up For "Step Brothers", 26 July 2008
8/10
Author: weeezmcgeeez-1 from United States

It's safe to say that the hilarity and stupidity of Ferrell and Reilly's characters in this movie was pretty close to perfect. You might think they're creepy and just too pathetic, but it's a given that's what they were going for. You'll be close to crying when it's all said and done feeling as though you laughed through the whole thing. This movie was certainly a great way for Will Ferrell to step back from his non-stop drunk and over the top characters, and to finally play opposite someone as funny as he is. And in a Rated-R film, no less.

Brennan Huff's (Ferrel) brother in the film played the successful and insulting jerk to Ferrel's and Reilly's character. His role could've been a little less obvious with his cruel characteristics and not so sudden and constant with his remarks. Other than that, however, there really wasn't any other flaws in the characters or story that would make anybody leave the theater or quick watching.

The outrageous dialog between the Step Brothers was comedy at its finest. If it wasn't a joke, but simple dialog, it would still get plenty of laughs, all because of the delivery. Director, Adam McKay couldn't have done better with this film. It is a must-see, no question.
