Step Brothers is the pièce de résistance of bad movies that are actually brilliant. One has to get by the plot in order to see the comedic gold emanating from this film. Ferrell and John C. Reilly have world class improvisational skills — which are on full display here. Aside from the film’s two main stars, the rest of the cast fit perfectly in their roles. Richard Jenkins — an esteemed actor rooted in drama — was fantastic as the volatile father. The same can be said for mother Mary Steenburgen. Lastly, brother Derek (Adam Scott) couldn’t have been better cast. We’ll never listen to “Por ti Volare” the same ever again.
