Arguably one of the greatest comedies of all time, “Step Brothers” is bold and unforgettable. There are times when “Step Brothers” doesn’t even resemble a traditional narrative, but instead works on some level of adventurous experimentalism. Incredibly, it was a hit.
Reilly and Ferrell play newly appointed step brothers who fight and reconcile; the whole dynamic playing on the Judd Apatow man-child conceit but actually making them behave like children. It was McKay working on a number of levels and firing on all cylinders, assisted by an incredible cast (also included are Richard Jenkins, Mary Steenburgen, Adam Scott and Kathryn Hahn) and crew (Paul Greengrass’ cinematographer Oliver Wood, shot it). Also, if you’re looking for an extra kick, listen to the Blu-ray’s musical commentary track; it’s one of the greatest tracks ever made and it will probably make you pee a little from laughing so hard.
