About this movie

Brennan Huff is a sporadically employed thirty-nine-year-old who lives with his mother, Nancy. Dale Doback is a terminally unemployed forty-year-old who lives with his father, Robert. When Robert and Nancy marry and move in together, Brennan and Dale are forced to live with each other as step brothers. As their narcissism and downright aggressive laziness threaten to tear the family apart, these two middle-aged, immature, overgrown boys will orchestrate an insane, elaborate plan to bring their parents back together. To pull it off, they must form an unlikely bond that maybe, just maybe, will finally get them out of the house. © 2008 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. and Beverly Blvd LLC. All Rights Reserved.

this film is ok but some part are confusing like why they both have curly hair to make it funnier they should have made will ferrell have a buzz cut because it would show opposites but as they start to get along then his hair becomes more curlier matching his step brothers. Then comes the worst part why did they eat white dog poo i mean come on there were little kids and i think that brennan and dale could have taken them being fully grown men themselves and that there was wearing ties they could have strangled them but the writers obviously didnt think of that.

Truly one of the worst films I've had the misfortune to get 1/3rd of the way through before turning it off. Utter garbage, Will Ferrell is a shadow of his usual self in this uninspired, lazy, badly conceived and written dross.

Will Ferrel in my opinion is the funniest human being alive and after Tallagda Nights I was praying for this but... The joke seems to have run out about half way through.
