Part of SNL Cinematic Universe
Brennan Huff, a sporadically employed 39-year-old who lives with his mother, Nancy. Dale Doback, a terminally unemployed 40-year-old who lives with his father, Robert. When Robert and Nancy marry and move in together, Brennan and Dale are forced to live with each other as stepbrothers. 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. Co-written by Ferrell, Reilly and former SNL writer-turned-director Adam McKay, STEP BROTHERS is the crown jewel and third film in a lengthy run of successful Ferrell/McKay collaborations.
