Last night I went to Marion to see "Step Brothers" with my friend Mirjana. I knew going in it wasn't going to be the best movie, but thought it would have a few laugh out loud moments.
It did, and was actually funnier than I thought it would be. Like Forcey pointed out in his review, Will Ferrell tries a lot of pretty crazy stuff comedically, and some of it works, and some falls flat. It's all pretty far fetched, throughout the film the two main characters seem to go from being reasonably self-aware to borderline retarded at different times. The movie had some great stuff in it though, my favourite parts were the a cappella family singalong to "Sweet Child O Mine", and the scenes where Ferrell and Reilly went to job interviews together.
Perhaps the funniest thing to happen though was we got to see a couple of kids get kicked out of the cinema by an usher for being under 15. I'd never seen it happen before but it was strangely enjoyable, like watching underage kids get busted for trying to buy alcohol or cigarettes. Some of their friends who must have shown ID to prove they were 15 were allowed to stay, in the spirit of true friendship they did exactly that, remaining for the movie while their younger friends presumably waited outside.
