Step Brothers is a 2008 comedy film starring Will Ferrell and
John C Reilly. The plot of Step Brothers is two middle aged men that still live with
their parents at home, Will Ferrel (Brennen) with him mother, and John C Reilly (Dale) with his father. Their parents meet and
fall in love at the surprise of their very similar lifestyles. Both of the sons are
forced to live together and the conflict between them at the start is very negative, just like in real life (When siblings fight), which relates to the maturity levels of the individuals. Their
parents warn them that they must find jobs within a month or else be
forced out of the house. When Brennan's younger brother Derek (Adam
Scott) comes to visit with his oddly perfect family, he too mocks them
and leads Dale to punch him in the face. Brennan is awed that Dale was
able to stand up to Derek. Meanwhile, Brennan's sister-in-law Alice
(Kathryn Hahn) who is also resentful of Derek, finds Dale's courage a
turn on. Brennan and Dale discover their many shared interests and
develop a strong personal bond.
The attempts at the job are poor from both Brennen and Dale, showing that they are lazy and that they dont care about finding a job, and they
find themselves only disrupupting the relationship of Nancy and Robert
(Parents) which results to a divorce. Once this has happened both sons
get a job and move on with their lives, Brennen goes and works for his
brother Derek, and Dale becomes a chef.
They then meet again at a festival hosted by Brennen as his new job, and
the food is cooked by Dale which links the whole family back together
as they both invite each of their parents making Nancy and Robert force
conversation. The family is then restored through a musical performance
from both Dale and Brennen as the band previously set up were forced to
leave.
The film contains a lot of mixed humour which many different people can
relate and connect to, even the fact that both 40 year old Dale and 39
year old Brennen still live at home with their parents immediately adds a
humourous background and start to the film.
Overall I think that this film is a humourous and very enjoyable film, as sometimes it can relate to things in life, this makes it funnier and more relatible to the viewers.
