We watched Step Brothers last week. I enjoyed it more than I expected. I had been expecting to like it and all. While Will Ferrell is hit and miss (heavy on the miss), John C. Riley and Judd Apatow were enough to give me reason to anticipate enjoying it. But I didn't expect it to be as fun as it was.
Don't get me wrong, it's an absolutely idiotic movie with nothing that I would describe as a redeeming value. But that doesn't mean it wasn't funny. A couple of grown men acting like children but with a whole lot of swearing. Win win. And in a surprise twist, the funniest scene was actually one of the scenes in the extended version reel. 99% of the time I watch extended versions of movies like this and think, "And that's why editors earn a living." But the scene in the extended version where Rob Riggle's character tells Ferrell's about the f*cking Catlina Wine Mixer had us rolling. And stands as the funniest thing Rob Riggle's ever done.
