Here's my review for...

STEP BROTHERS

I remember the first time I saw the preview for Step Brothers and I was excited.  Excited but a little worried as well.  I was worried that the chemistry between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly wouldn't be the same as it was in Talladega Nights.   And I have to say that the chemistry wasn't the same, IT WAS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   This could be Will Ferrell's funniest movie up to date.  I know, that's a lot to say given Anchorman but this movie is just funny!!!!!!!!!!!  It's about two grown men who become stepbrothers when their parents meet each other at a convention and fall in love with one another.  The next thing you know they are moving in together and that's when it gets taken up a notch.  Everyone who was in this movie was perfect for their rolls.  The boys piss off their parents so much that they are forced to try and get jobs, and that doesn't work, but does want to make you pee your pants as well.  I was afraid that when things started to go wrong the movie was going to take a serious twist and kill all the momentum of the movie, and it didn't!!!!!!! It only added to the movie thanks to the Catalina Wine Mixer.  That is a line from the movie that you won't get until you see this fantastic movie.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Will Ferrell plays a drum set with his nut sack!!!!!!!!!!
