alexgaddis Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 This is easily the worst movie I have seen in the last ten years. Painfully unfunny... ...and I LIKE Will Ferrell wow...what a piece of garbage that was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Wow. Strange you should post this today. I just saw this for the first time on Saturday and while it had its moments I am pretty much in agreement with you on this one. When he tea bagged the drums and the part at the very end when they beat up the kids were the funniest parts for me. The rest was a ton of swings and misses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Agent Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The first 1/2 of the movie had a lot of promise. But I thought it went flat pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Ryan Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Worst movie Ive ever seen is Semi Pro This ranks as one of the top 5 worst. I also Like Will Ferrell. Talladega Nights was genius. Everything else is a failed attempt to match that success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I didn't so much as chuckle. That said, I didn't see the last 20 minutes or so. Luckily the film cut out at the theatre, and rather than waiting to walk the plank we just up and left. Sad film. And I'm sorry, but Talladege Nights really isn't that funny either. Anchorman on the other hand is pure genius. Why can't every comedy just be like Grandma's Boy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Although not a good movie, Semi Pro gave me a few laughs... this one however didn't give me so much as a chuckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilly Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Watched this over the weekend. It started off great, then just fizzled to an unremarkable ending. I did laugh in parts, but not enough. The fight scene at the very end was pretty good. I think that it was a great idea----step brothers at age 40 living with their parents, and Ferrall and Reily play really well off each other. To me, however, the constant foul language was what brought it down. Just systematic of lazy writing, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I thought it was genius. agreed - thought it was effing hilarious and the funniest movie I have seen since probably Superbad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just watched it the other night. Pretty crappy. I chuckled here and there but pretty over the top stupid. My wife was not impressed at all. I give her credit for sitting through the whole thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is a failed attempt to match that success. I think he was already cashing it in by then. Mind you, it was, indeed, much better than Semi-Pro and I haven't seen stepbrothers. Like Jack Black, I think he's way better at stealing the show than he is at being cast as the lead. Old School and Zoolander are great examples.

Avernus Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Probably the best of the Ferrell movies imo... I like him in lesser roles rather than being the star or even the co-star.... I liked him in Wedding Crashers, Old School, Zoolander, Blades of Glory and Step Brothers better than Anchorman... Anchorman had some hilarious parts....but others were more silly than hilarious and this occurs less in Step Brothers even though this one wasn't great either imo... his roles in other movies were better because he pops in and out and throws a change of pace in the comedy....he's a middle-relief pitcher, not a closer...

It's as if the writers get lazy when he's the go-to. They just keep going back to the well too many times and don't bother to put much of a script together. Though maybe he's a closer, not a starter?

wildcat2334 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Really amazes me alot of you all didn't like Stepbrothers......... me and buddies here are quoting the chit out of it- and everyone I hang out with loved it for the most part..........and it is a MUST HAVE IMO...... I mean, anyone who grew up with brothers, fighting, mixing it up and being just a dumbass kid - it is on point. Different strokes I guess, b/c I loved Old School, Blades was funny and so was Anchorman - I thought Talladega was average at best.

MikesVikes Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) We just watched this again the other night. It's not his best stuff by any means. Ferrell couldn't end the show any better than to rehash his old blades of glory tune? The step Dad with the potty mouth was just plain stupid. There were a few parts I like though.
