Another unashamedly juvenile comedy from the awe-inspiringly busy Judd Apatow production line: Apatow produces, and the director is Adam McKay, who made the very funny Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Will Ferrell and John C Reilly play two 40-year-old guys who live with their respective single parents and have regressed, horribly, to being 13 (a parable, some would say, for the people who make these movies and those who enjoy them). When the boys' long-suffering parents (Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen) happen to meet, fall in love at a medical-technology conference and then get married, Ferrell and Reilly have to share a bedroom as stepbrothers. There are certainly one or two funny, broad moments, especially when the "boys" get it into their heads to convert their beds into bunk beds, and their impersonation of 13-year-olds is scarily accurate. But Reilly has always been more actor than comic, and this goofy comedy is a DVD rental only.
