Step Brothers

This was one of the least funny things I have ever seen. But how can you go wrong with Will Ferrel? That's what I thought, too. The first fifteen minutes were full of promise, but the rest of the film quickly dissipated into awkward improv, very reminiscent of one of those Varsidy Nordic shows where sketch after sketch is painfully unfunny (sorry, crew). The premise of this crap is that two 60-something people meet, fall in love, marry, and realize they both have 40-year-old loser sons living at home. Not necessarily in that order. At first, of course, the two guys (Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly) despise each other, but slowly, they realize they are basically the same person, which inevitably leads to a close friendship. Then a bunch of stupid shit happens, their parents divorce, and they decide to "grow up" in order to get their parents back together. I suggest "The Parent Trap" as a fantastic (and sane) alternative.
