Step Brothers (2008)



7/10


They are back at it again! Will Ferrell and John C Reilly are back in a new comedy, that will not disappoint any of their fans. As usual they look like they are just having fun making a wacky movie together again. A bunch of dick, gay and fart jokes in this one, and it goes without saying, these 2 guys do their best to show us just how cool they are not!

The Plot:

Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) is a thirty-nine-year-old who has never left home and lives with his divorced mother, Nancy Huff (Mary Steenburgen). Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) is a forty-year-old who also has never left home and lives with his widower father, Dr. Robert Doback (Richard Jenkins). Both of them are unemployed and have been living off the goodness of their parents their whole lives. Nancy meets Robert; they fall in love, marry, and move into Robert's home. The two sons are forced to live together in the same room as step brothers. Brennan and Dale initially hate each other, but find out that they are not too different. They are like 12-year-olds trapped in adult bodies who haven't grown up and live in their own little worlds. They become best friends, and then their parents decide to kick them out, because they are getting a divorce. They set up job interviews, but to no avail. Their lives are about to change, and they must grow up.

Old School (2003)


9/10

Mitch, Frank and Beanie are disillusioned with their personal lives begining when Mitch's nymphomanic girlfriend, Heidi, cheats on him, then former party animal Frank gets married, but unwilling to get go of his wild life, and Beanie is a family man seeking to reclaim his wild and crazy youth. Beanie suggests that they form their own fraternity in Mitch's new house on a college campus to re-live their glory days by bringing together a variety of misfit college students, losers, middle-aged and elderly retirees as their new friends and later try to avoid being evicted by the new Dean of Students, Pritchard, whom still holds a personal grudge against all three of them.

I totally loved “Old School” with a mix of wacky comedy, awesome cameos and some great moments delivered with such comedic timing, from masters of this vein of film.

You know if Will Farrell is in it is going to be a silly, offside, but very funny film. Vaughn is a also a solid bet in these kinds of films, but it was Luke Wilson that took the show for me, with one of the best displays of dry humour in god knows how long.
Old School is a fun film, and has an appeal that spans the generation gaps, so if you want to just have a great laugh this is one of the films to see!
