Awesome retarded comedy about 30 something living at home stepbrothers., 12 November 2008
8/10
Author: dilbertsuperman from Baghdad

This comedy team nails it a lot harder than they did in Taladega Nights with this one, there's a ton of laughs and only a few slow points. If your parents were divorced you will appreciate this more. If you have ever had to live under your parents roof as an adult, that also helps. I loved the job interview scene, that was epic. There's so many great scenes in this movie, a couple of crappy filler moments, but then back on track to funny time again.

PLOT: a full grown man Brennan (Will Ferrel) that lives with his mom moves into the house of another full grown man Dale (John C Riley) ( that lives with his dad and the mom and dad are married. But both of these men are not far from children mentally and neither is very keen on the other. Let the games begin!!!

These two are the perfect character foils for each others excessive retardation. I love it.

This is not highbrow humor by any means. Enjoy drunk. ;-)
