Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, who last teamed in the box-office
smash Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, now star in Step
Brothers, directed by Adam McKay (Talladega Nights). In Step Brothers,
Ferrell plays Brennan Huff, a sporadically employed
thirty-nine-year-old who lives with his mother, Nancy (Mary
Steenburgen). Reilly plays Dale Doback, a terminally unemployed
forty-year-old who lives with his father, Robert (Richard Jenkins).
When Robert and Nancy marry and move in together, Brennan and Dale are
forced to live with each other as step brothers. As their narcissism
and downright aggressive laziness threaten to tear the family apart,
these two middle-aged, immature, overgrown boys will orchestrate an
insane, elaborate plan to bring their parents back together. To pull it
off, they must form an unlikely bond that maybe, just maybe, will
finally get them out of the house. The screenplay is by Will Ferrell
& Adam McKay from a story by Will Ferrell & Adam McKay &
John C. Reilly. Jimmy Miller and Judd Apatow produce. -
