"STEP BROTHERS"
Show QUICK TAKE:Comedy: Two grown men, who still live at home with their single parents, must contend with living in the same house and sharing the same bedroom when their parents get married. PLOT:Despite being 39-years-old, Brennan Huff (WILL FERRELL) still lives at home with his mom, Nancy (MARY STEENBURGEN), unlike his boastful and charismatic brother, Derek (ADAM SCOTT), who's V.P. of a helicopter leasing company and has two seemingly perfect kids with his wife Alice (KATHRYN HAHN). Dale Doback (JOHN C. REILLY) is 40-years-old and similarly still lives with his doctor dad Robert (RICHARD JENKINS). When Nancy and Robert meet at a medical convention and instantly fall in love, that leads to their wedding and her moving into his house. Of course, that means Brennan moves in as well, much to the chagrin of Dale who isn't happy to have a new stepbrother. The two immediately clash and act like bratty children, especially when they're forced to share the same bedroom, quickly get on Robert's nerves, while Nancy initially tries to take a more tolerant view of the new arrangement. Dale and Brennan find a common foe, however, in Derek who isn't above belittling both of them. From that point on, and as Brennan becomes enamored with his therapist, Denise (ANDREA SAVAGE), and Dale has unhappily married Alice coming on to him, the two men must contend with the various changes in their lives that stem from their new familial arrangement.

OUR WORD TO PARENTS:The following is a brief summary of the content found in this R-rated comedy. Profanity consists of at least 59 "f" words, while many other expletives and colorful phrases are also uttered. Sexually related humor, song lyrics and dialogue (some of that being explicit) are present. A married woman forces herself on a man-child character to have sex (with movement and sounds) while the beginning of another sexual encounter is seen, as are some unrelated, pornographic images (female nudity) in magazines and a man's scrotum is briefly seen in close-up. Comedy-based violence includes several fights, while slapstick style material is also present as is briefly seen violent footage from a Steven Seagal movie. Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes (all intended as comedy), while all sorts of behavior might be enticing for some kids to imitate. Various characters drink, while drug use is admitted and other drug-related material is present. Crude humor (verbal and visual) occurs, while comedy-based tense family material is also present.

ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE Reviewed July 17, 2008 / Posted July 25, 2008 Other new and recent reviews include: Privacy Statement and Terms of Use and Disclaimer All Rights Reserved, Is Step Brothers appropriate for 11 year olds?Lots of sexual scene heaps of language and mature scene and themes and possibl drunk scene violence is included so do not let kids watch this film I wanted my kids to see it so I whatched it first and no no no not for kids.
What age is appropriate to watch Step Brothers?I am a very protective parent of my two children (ages 14 and 16). I let my 14 year old watch this movie on his 13th birthday because he is a very mature kid. If your kid shows maturity, then I think that this is an appropriate movie for 13 and up. If he does not show vast amounts of maturity, wait until he is 14.
How many times is the F word used in Step Brothers?"Step Brothers" gets pretty raunchy and lives up to its R-rating. The F-word is uttered about forty-four times so people distressed by profanity are forewarned.
