I have an idea for a movie comedy. A writer-director has a couple of huge hits and so all the Hollywood studio hacks descend on him adoringly. "Give us your ideas," they tell him, "Anything at all! We'll make a...

ok well I happen to love the movie Step Brothers and I think the review for it on here is CRAP. Its funny actually hilarious and Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are GREAT!
Another movie with male genitalia. How so very tiresome. The double standard bias towards men continues !!! Where is the equality ??
ya it was actually a very good movie, very funny i might say.
Thanks for posting and I am always glad when someone sees more in a movie than I do. But it would be much more helpful and persuasive if you could tell us why you liked it or what it was in the review you disagreed with. And a reminder, movie_lover of the rules for comments on this site -- respect and courtesy at all times. Insults are not arguments and I am sure you don't want readers to think that only rude people are fans of this movie.
Nell,
I respect and trust your reviews. You seem to know what you are talking about. When critiquing, you make very valid points and one can tell that they are well-thought-out.
I am glad for this review, particularly. My fiance is a Will Ferrell fan and is determined to see every one of his movies. I, however, believe that Ferrell's career is rapidly spiraling downward, and the majority of his movies are very unfunny. It would be nice if he could make more movies like Stranger Than Fiction. Now THAT was a funny movie! And intelligent funny, not dumb funny. Not to mention a great story AND a great cast.
Ferrell could take a lot of hints from Jim Carrey, IMO, who started out in the same position. Thankfully, Carrey outgrew his Ace Ventura phase.
Thanks so much, Rebekah! "Stranger than Fiction" is one of my favorite films of the past 10 years. Ferrell was terrific and I loved Dustin Hoffman! I think people as successful as Ferrell are under a lot of pressure to repeat themselves; after all a lot of money is at stake and it seems like a sure bet. But your analogy to Carrey is a good one -- and for a cautionary tale, Ferrell should try to avoid what has happened to Eddie Murphy.
I really appreciate your post and if your boyfriend sees the movie, let me know what he thinks!
"Kocked Up"? Typo...or Freudian slip?
;) Very funny! Probably both. Thanks for the correction! Remember, ten corrections and you get a copy of my book!
Nell.
I noticed in your review you did include that there is graphic nudity. However, in the main reviews I have been seeing as well as at the top of your review ,where it says rated "R," it does not mention nudity. Is there a reason for that ? Thanks
Thanks, Tim. I can put more detail in the review than in the shorthand summaries on top so it is always advisable to read both.
Thank you for that surprisingly funny post! I was on the fence as to whether or not to see it, but since I was so entertained by your review, I'll let that alone suffice:)
We decided to stream this one on netflix last night out of boredom. Worst. Movie. Ever. - we only made it through about 15 minutes before we declared it unwatchable (and we sat all the way through The Love Guru, so that's telling). Another case of my having a "why, oh why, didn't I check with Nell first" moment.
I feel your pain, Monkie! I had to watch the whole thing! Thanks for your comment, which gave me a bigger laugh than anything in the movie.
