I would go as far as to stay any film starring either of them is likely to be comedy gold.

Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, Semi Pro, Blades of Glory, Walk the Line and of course, Talledega Nights, all showcase what fantatic comic actors these two are, and Step brothers is no exception to the rule.

Ferrell plays 39-year-old adolescent Brennan Huff, who still lives with his mother (Mary Steenbergen).

But when she gets married and makes Brennan move in with her new husband, he is not prepared to accept his new equally adolescent stepbrother Dale Doback (Reilly).

The film follows the duo's struggle as they attempt to get on with each other, and even try for jobs together, with predictably hilarious results.

This is a film where the leading pair can do what they do best - act like children.

And they clearly revell in being paid to do what comes naturally to them.

The Reilly and Ferrell combination is a winning one, and it's possible to see that without them the film just wouldn't work.

But it does - and it offers a stream of laugh out loud jokes, and childish humour, with a dash of smut to keep you entertained.

It's not a film with a powerful storyline, nor does it have a deep meaning - but it does exactly what it says on the tin.

It is a light-hearted, silly film that will make you laugh and entertain you throughout without making you think too hard.

The perfect antidote to forgetting about today's economic climate.
