I loved it!

I loved it to, I'm just wondering what people expect from a comedy to give it a good rating. This is some of Will Ferrell's best work in my opinon.

Same here! I guess the people that are criticizing this movie have a think for very dry, sarcastic and DARK humor. I like a little of that every now and then, but I think this movie was hilarious! I was laughing out loud. The dark humor movies I'm more smirking, but not laughing hysterically. And the jokes were smart! Idk if people are getting what Mark means when he says he learned it to make fun of boys..the point of it is that he learned it and he's the one that got made fun of. He has issues with masculinity and he acted out a lot because of that. Some of the posters that have tried to label fans of this movie as 'retards' are the retards themselves, because they are insulting others without thoroughly understanding the point of the movie.

Agreed... I don't get it.. I came to IMDB expecting to see a high rating, because I thought this movie was really good...

this movie is effin hilarious. id have to rank this up there around some like it hot and dumb and dumber.

i laugh everytime at every joke everytime i watch it.

reply

I know right. I think people just automatically don't rate comedy films as highly. Its annoying because as much as I love deep, emotional and meaningful films, not all films have to have those things to be good. Comedy films are just about being funny an entertaining and this film is exactly those things, so in my books it couldn't have done better.

reply

So true. i laughed through the whole movie !! , and i must say, normaly i do laugh very rarely while watching a comedy...

reply

Agreed!

reply

With comedies around 6.5 seems good as a lot of funny comedies are at this point. Around 7.0 is very good and any higher is exceptional.

reply

Funny as hell/10

reply

Agree entirely - I gave it an 8. Hilarious

reply

I also gave it an 8. I laughed so many times throughout this movie, which surprised me because I usually can't stand Will Ferrell, but I give many props to him as well as the rest of the cast.

If we wanna hear you talk, I will shove my arm up your ass and work your mouth like a puppet!

reply

I think an 8 is a perfect rating for this.

reply

This crap shouldn't even have more than a 6.

It's garbage.

reply

i think it deserves a higher rating aswelll, i love this movie! Heck, even my brother really liked it and he hates will farrell.

reply

I agree. What's worse is that The Other Guys has a 6.6 while Step Brothers has a 6.7. What?! No way!

reply

It deserves an 8.5 its superb entertainment, very underrated on here, atleast it has 78% on Rotten Tomatoes which is a relief and gives the filmmakers justice

- I think that "Step Brothers" is arguably a better constructed and executed comedy and story. Loved "The Other Guys" as well, but I think that it's trying to make fun of buddy "man-crush" detective / action movies, and doesn't quite get it right - a leaner, tighter story with the right humor would put a sequel or prequel of this over the top and be a huge blockbuster success.

Can't deny all the great actors in this: Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Andy Buckley, Brooke Shields, Rob Riggle (Rob was in "Stepbrothers" and "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby", with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly).

I'm rough on comedies but this movie is hilarious and the comedey flows and is not forced. At worst....8/10. This movie delivered the laughs.

reply

This movie is funny but its a even 7 at best.
