Step Brothers
Everybody has a little kid in them, but normally maintains their maturity; as for John C. Riley and Will Ferrell, the little kid threw maturity out the door. The 2008 crude summer comedy, Produced and Written by Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, and John C. Riley was a hit. Their antics of never employed forty-year-old men acting as immature thirteen-year-olds could not have been portrayed better by Brennan (Will Ferrell) and Dale (John C. Riley). Step Brothers also looked at the struggles of single parenthood as well as step children adapting to one another.
Brennan and Dale live with their widowed parents, who everyday went off to work while their sons watched television, played video games, and ate frozen pizza. Then their parents get married and the two single families must come and live together as one. They even dress like children, wearing goofy graphic t-shirts that appear to be from the 1970’s. It appears that Dale and Brennan were babied and never punished their whole lives, and that is the specific reason why they are both at home all day doing something a twelve-year-old would be doing. The movie shows that when single parents, or even married parents, are not strict and are as lax as can be, their children (no matter how old) will take over the household and the parents.
Soon after the two step brothers meet, the vulgar and territorial competitive spirits overtake their bodies; for instance Brennan tried to bury Dale alive and Dale would not allow Brennan to even look or touch his drum set. This is very similar, although not as intense as other sibling rivalries compare; they are begging for parental attention. After a front-yard fight with unheard of weapons such as bicycles and golf clubs before simultaneously knocking each other unconscious and reconcile their differences when discussing favorite things.
Director Adam McKay hilariously captures the childish activities Dale and Brennan do such as playing with night vision goggles, doing “karate” in the garage, building less than safe bunk beds, and getting into fights with elementary age children at a playground. But later in the movie he captures Dale and Brennan having to grow up when their parents decide to divorce and let them out to fend for their own good. This shows how hard it is for children in divorced families to deal with the events that have happened or are happening. When this happens, they move out, become completely serious adults, and get jobs; Dale as a caterer, and Brennan works at his younger brother’s Real Estate firm.
In the end they come together and realize that they can still have adult lives and are serious men, but at the same time they can make room for few childish activities. Hopefully lax parents who watched this movie will have their eyes opened and will be more strict with their children. This movie shows probably the most extreme (in some ways) ways how children can grow up and not be able to handle responsibility, get jobs, or move out of their parents basements.Can somebody please edit my paper for english class?
I think you did a good job. I see nothing wrong. I say this movie and it was one of the funniest I had ever seen. LOVED IT.
