how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 40 comments (39 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 6 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 6 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βThere is too much funny here for a movie (even though it continues into the closing credits). Step Brothers should be a TV show.β
Kyle Smith, New York Post Β· 88
βNot to wax too serious here (since this is, after all, a movie in which two nearly middle-aged men beat each other over the heads with blunt instruments on their front lawn), but ticking away just beneath Step Brothers' freely associative surface is a fairly astute commentary on how we define such abstract concepts as "growing up" and "making something of yourself."β
Scott Foundas, Village Voice Β· 80
βSo childish it seems to arrive in diapers, and that's not bad; it's good.β
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post Β· 80
βStep Brothers is a Judd Apatow production and it's the closest that the Apatow factory has come to spitting out a dumb-and-dumber high-concept comedy.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 75
βWhile Ferrell and Reilly are great together, hatching harebrained schemes that have no basis in reality, part of the unexpected treat of Step Brothers is watching Jenkins and Steenburgen sink to such blithely immature levels of rude and crude comedy.β
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer Β· 75
Scores from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, read 28 Aug 2026. Quotes belong to their publications and link to the full reviews.
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

βClick here for a video version of this review: https://youtu.be/SjZ6BGnAVl8 Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly - two guys that will give you a really good belly laugh. Combine their powers and youβre guaranteed a good time. So it is with _Step Brothers_ their 2008 collaboration. _Two aimless middle-aged losers still living at home are forced against their will to become roommates when their parents marry._ Taking the slacker stereotype and turning it up to 11 thereβs a good time to be hadβ
