The funniest thing about Step Brothers isn’t in the movie itself, but its advertising one-sheet, which is a perfect parody of those ridiculous glamour shots people get at shopping mall portrait studios. In matching argyle sweater vests, with their hair gently teased and their faces buffed smooth by either make-up or Photoshop (or both), stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, who playing the feuding, then best-buddy, then feuding again step-siblings of the title, smile vacantly in a perfectly ridiculous, utterly unnatural pose. Unfortunately, there is nothing so immediately funny in the movie, which is a crass, loud, and generally mean-spirited comedy that feels like it was hatched over a late-night get-together with only minor polishing once the hangovers had worn off the next morning.
