I like stupid comedies. I liked Night at the Roxbury. I liked Anchorman. I liked that movie with the basketball, but this was *beep* *beep* I laughed like twice. *beep* Will Ferrel and IMDb users whose deceiving votes encouraged me to rent this garbage.

I don't think ANCHORMAN is a stupid comedy at all.
Anyway, STEP BROTHERS grew on me, I didn't like it at first either. Give it another chance.
I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean.

shareMovieEd3290...you need more funny in your life, because this movie is hilarious.

it mad eme a bit angry too...but because of the premise. I have an uncle who is already 50 something who STILL lives with my grandmother and acts a bit like these 2...puts his name on his juice in the fridge, hoardes cupcakes in his closet, doesn't help with ANYTHING around the house, surprisingly, he works, making minimum wage as some kind of errand boy (at 50 mind you), wants to date a super model but doesn't realize he's a fat, balding 5'6", broke, 50 year old man still living with his mother (God bless my grandma)...
So this hit a nerve in that regard, the beginning is particularly frustrating when they act super childish, but as the movie progresses, it got much funnier. Didn't care too much for the overly exaggerated sleep walking scene...I SO would've dropped those muthaf___ in their sleep (LOL)!

Oh...please...in Europe most families live together most of their lives. Americans need to get real. It can be a benefit to a family if all intentions are good.
And Jorgito2001...someday you may be grateful that your uncle is there with your grandmother. Will you be able to be there for her at a moments notice if she needs you? What if there's an emergency and you are too far away to get to her. Thank goodness her 'son' is there if she needs him. When people get older they are vulnerable to criminals and other outsiders looking to take advantage...and most family members just try to ship their elderly off to a nursing home as soon as possible. Your grandmother may be enjoying the fact that she can still live in her home and feel safe because someone is always around.

^^MarthaJonesSmith, excellent response... very intelligent and thoughtful...thank you...
I do agree with the original poster...I like a funny movie, but this was so coarse and dehumanizing...really repellent...
If you think I'm being a dick so be it, but your grandmother is actually his enabler. I had an uncle who moved in with his mother when he was 50 something, broke, after another failed marriage. He was the "favorite" of my grandparents.
shareLet me state up front, I am a brutal movie critic. Bottom line, the majority of movies suck. Anchorman didn't do anything for me, although I will concede when I saw it I wasn't a Ferrell fan and he's grown on me so I should probably give it another look. That said, sometimes you just gotta accept a ridiculous premise/plot and just go with it. If the jokes that are written are funny and delivered by funny people, eff it just laugh and take the stupidity at face value. James Bond movies are preposterous from start to finish, but it's OK to just enjoy the ride and the smartass dialogue.
Given the choice between this and some over-loud, stuffed with CGI effects POS, I'll take this anyday. Low impact movie watching.

i thought Anchorman was a better movie...i guess i find sexism and office humor more relatable than adult children living at home.

I liked this better than Anchorman. We all have different tastes. Calm down.
