I can't believe this movie is under comedy, at no point through this movie did I laugh. It was dull, boring and soooo dragged out. My husband wanted us to turn it off half an hour into the movie but I said no thinking it would pick up, so I waited and I waited and then I waited some more...nothing happened, this movie is a drama and not a good one. I love movies with Sean in them but I have to give this a big big thumb's down. I think the people who have given this a good review most have been either watching the wrong movie or high when watching it. Don't wait 90 mins of your life! You have been warned .................................................................

Many people saying this movie is "uninspired" or "boring" do not understand the type this type of comedy. The reason the characters do not have energy is because they are not supposed to! It is the type of comedy that pokes fun at real life situations. It is meant to bring out the comedy in day to day life. I felt like this was really obvious, but I guess not.It is great to see a movie that is funny, and does not have to use obscene material to accomplish this. Many comedies now days think if they fill it with curse words, and nudity it makes it funny. I appreciate a comedy that can be funny without having to do this. If you find Seinfeld funny, I would highly recommend this movie.

As a fan of both Sean William Scott and John C. Reilly, I started this film with excitement. The film started what appeared to be a comedy with the usual plot and suspects... then it decided to take another direction.This was a mistake.They've really wasted the talent of the leads here. Scott is pretty good but Reilly's character is dull and boring and the film takes on those characteristics as well. Instead of another 'step-brother's' feud we end up with a forgettable film that has some laughs, but ultimately fizzles into a meaningless, near-humorless mess, void of both plot and personality. Looking back I think I laughed hard once... but 24 hours later I can't even remember the scene.... if that says anything.Could be destined for the worst of 2009 list..Extremely disappointed and amazed at ANY rating higher than 5... and that would be generous.27/100 1.5/5stars 3/10You MIGHT like it if you liked:Career Opportunities, Joe Vs. The Volcano, Outsourced, Election, and Cyrus.

I saw this movie last night. I expect more from Sean William Scott's comedies. This isn't one of his best. Not a bad movie with a few laughs, but i think i only need to see it once. The storyline is different to any other movie i have seen. The movie almost gets out of first gear, but not quite. Its definitely not as funny as some of his other movies such as American Pie and Welcome to the Jungle. I have been use to hilariously great movies from SWS, i hope this backwards step isn't going to be an ongoing feature of his films. Next on my hit list to see is Balls Out. I am not sure what to expect now. The Promotion is good viewing, but not vital viewing.
