Step Brothers

Comedy

Directed by Adam McKay

Brennan Huff and Dale Doback might be grown men. But that doesn't stop them from living at home and turning into jealous, competitive stepbrothers when their single parents marry. Brennan's constant competition with Dale strains his mom's marriage to Dale's dad, leaving everyone to wonder whether they'll ever see eye to eye. From TMDB

    name a side character in a film that stole the show Kathryn Hahn as Will Ferrell's sister-in-law in STEP BROTHERS. Like all the best character actors, Hahn steals anything she's in--that's basically her gig. Tomorrow's KH's birthday, so an early Happy Birthday to her!

    One of my favorite comedies is the movie Step Brothers. Thanks to this day in 1989, "Cops" debuted, and 19 years later we got this great line, "Why are you so sweaty?" " I was watching Cops." Name a comedy you ADORE, that is not Dumb and Dumber 🫣

    Stupid movies, think Will Farrell and movies like Anchorman and Step Brothers. I thought I was top shit in high school and college, that I was so much smarter than the average person and that my tastes were above the general public. Turns out I was just a douche. Now I know that humans are not binary, that you can like two things for two different reasons. I can enjoy something serious like _The Brutalist_ or _The Whale_, and then I can also enjoy something silly like _Eurovision Song…

    Step Brothers: I love Ferrell and Reilly but this film wouldn't be the masterpiece it is without Jenkins and Steenbergen. A ridiculous script/improv that nonetheless gets it right practically every time. Hahn steamrolls in when required with such terrifying energy. God I love it so muc.
