Goofs:

Factual errors: At the beginning of the film it is revealed that Brennan is 39 years of age. Later, during a bedroom scene with Dale and Nancy, it’s revealed that when Brennan was 17 his brother, Derek, won a talent show by lip-synching, "Ice Ice Baby." Based on Brennan's current age that would date the talent show as taking place in 1986; "Ice Ice Baby" wasn't released till 1990.

The Impression That I Get

Fantastic Movie

Saw this movie at a Sneak Preview and needless to say, this is movie is hilarious. There are big laughs left and right, non stop! and thank GOD it was rated R, it wouldn't have been nearly as good! It was well written by Ferrell and Adam McKay. The dud that was Semi-Pro put a kink in Will's career in my mind with his whole typical type-casting character he gets in scripts and the way he writes and lets be honest, it was getting old, but Step Brothers put out more than what i needed to get back on the bandwagon of his movies. The spotlight is equally shared between Ferrell and Riley throughout and it really makes you feel like being 12 again and living off of your parents, but watching 40 yr old men doing it is way funnier than any 12 year old can make their childhood seem!! A MUST SEE FOR ANY FERRELL OR RILEY FAN!! We all now can have faith put back into Will Ferrell!
