‘Step Brothers’ is immature and that’s OK

‘Step Brothers’ is exactly what you’d expect from a Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly comedy. It’s not as gut-busting as ‘Talladega Nights’ but funny enough for a summer flick. Expect plenty of crude jokes and immature antics. Calvin Wilson reviewed the film and gave it a “B.”

Here’s the bottom line, though. Watch the video that I’ve attached and multiply it by 120 minutes. If you think it’s funny, go see the film. If not, consider a couple of popular films that opened last weekend.

‘Mamma Mia’ has an interesting plot, beautiful scenery, and a great ABBA soundtrack. It’s a good date flick, but I just couldn’t get past the corny singing.

As secret agent 007, Pierce Brosnan showed little mercy to his adversaries. The same can be said of the way he sings ‘S.O.S.’ He ruthlessly butchers the song. We’re not laughing with you, Pierce. We’re laughing at you.

And then there’s ‘The Dark Knight,’ which will make more than any other movie this year. Heath Ledger’s acting is every bit as good as you’ve heard, although not as noteworthy as his performance in ‘Brokeback Mountain.’

For action and comic book fans, the movie gets the adrenaline flowing. I was underwhelmed considering the incredible hype and thought it was long, confusing and disturbing.

But almost every film critic is raving about the movie. There were lines at Ronnie’s on Tuesday night to get in to see Batman so I’m probably in the minority on this one.
