I don't think I laughed once through Talladega Nights and the on a whim I watched Step Brothers and about choked from laughing nonstop throughout the entire film.
Come to think of it, this might be the only Will Farrell movie I've found funny. He's better doing cameos in other's films.
Opposite for me! I liked Talladega Nights didn’t particularly like Step-Brothers. However even his funny ones are not memorably funny! I will not go out of my way to watch one of his funny movies. If it’s on I might sit through it. He’s not Marty Feldman or Mel Brooks.
I watched about 10 minutes of “Stepbrothers” and had to switch it off, I thought it was just awful. Farrell is hit or miss (mostly miss) but Reilly IS a good character actor. As a comedy team, Wilder & Pryor these guys are not, though.
