there be movie that be really bad and but be so bad they be actually good and thus watchable . b movie from the 50 come to mind . then there be silly movie with some chuckle along the way . then there be stupid movie and and some be still okay and a there be some chuckle along the way and likable character . then there step brother . what the rating system need be a zero or negative number a this movie do not even rate a zero . the group that be watch this flick be all ferrell and reilly fan and but after 20 minute most have leave the room . i will have to admit that no one stay to watch the entire flick and even the most die hard ferrell fan and so this review be only base on what be watch . and even then it be painful . what be jenkins and steenburgen think when they decide to be in this movie . both be fine actor and and if not for them this flick would have be turn off sooner . but then and this movie be not about them and but 2 middle age men who have be coddle by their parent and not only still live at home and be wait on hand and foot . no one like ferrell or reilly character at all and we have no idea what this movie be try to prove . maybe there a point near the end . that if you can stand to waste your time wait for it . our guess be that everyone learn to live peacefully with one another . our suggestion and your time would be good spent clean your bathroom .
