    There is too much funny here for a movie (even though it continues into the closing credits). Step Brothers should be a TV show. show more

    Kirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood Reporter

    The only thing that can explain middle-aged men acting like 6-year-olds is mental retardation, and there's nothing funny about that. The idea of middle-aged actors playing adolescents isn't much funnier. Put it this way: Such an idea does not make for an inexhaustible source of comedy. show more

    Steven ReaPhiladelphia Inquirer

    While Ferrell and Reilly are great together, hatching harebrained schemes that have no basis in reality, part of the unexpected treat of Step Brothers is watching Jenkins and Steenburgen sink to such blithely immature levels of rude and crude comedy. show more
