Ever since he left his starring role on Saturday Nigh Live for superstardom in film, Will Ferrell’s many characters have
been criticized as all being pretty much the same thing. They’re overgrown children, unable to
cope with the world. Step Brothers’ strength is admitting
this and turning it around into the premise for the film. Other than childishness, there is pretty much no other aspect to his character,
Brennan Huff, or John C. Reilly’s Dale Doback, to the
point where they’re literally beaten up on a schoolyard by bullies. It’s no longer about being an overgrown child
as a racecar driver or news anchor; instead, it’s back to the
basics and better because of it.
