Will Ferrell has made the same film again.
Nothing funny happens, apart from one or two sentences in which Will says 'OH SUCK A HORSE DICK' and you laugh, because it is funny, but not original.
Step Brothers is about John C Reilly and Will Ferrell become step brothers, and hating each other and then liking each other, and then hating each other, and then liking each other, and repeat. It creates some more 'man-child' set pieces for Will Ferrell to swear or fart in, some of which are funny. There are some slapstick moments that also made me laugh, but they are few and far between. There are several pop-culture references that are used in clever ways (mostly in a rap sequence) and are funny.
Will Ferrell and John Reillys partnership is good, but not funny enough to hold a movie. Talladega Nights really isn't very good at all. Will Ferrell needs a support cast to make you realise that he isn't the funniest one in the film, like Steve Carrell in Anchorman, and Napoleon Dynamite in Blades of Glory.
One particular sequence of scenes in which Will Ferrell is seeing a therapist, in which he talks about being a man-child. Surely if he can write about it in a film, he can move away from it. I've mentioned Stranger Than Fiction in the past, and it was good to see Will Ferrell outside of his usual peers, but he still played an imbecile.
In short, I giggled, and lol'd a few times, but it's still on the 'meh' list.
