Trivia:

In Dale's bedroom there is a sign for Hugalo's Pizza, the same pizza place that Will Ferrell worked for in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006).

Goofs:

Factual errors: We learn at the beginning that Brennan is 39. Later, during a bedroom scene with Dale and Nancy, we learn that Brennan was 17 when his brother, Derek, won a talent show by lip-synching "Ice Ice Baby." That means the talent show was in 1986. "Ice Ice Baby" was released in 1990.

Quotes:

Brennan Huff: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but I will kick you repeatedly in the balls!

Dumb laughs, random moments

super random funny moments in this movie. The greater good of humanity shines through, and no matter what age ,you can still get your act together.

however for those who condone absolute stupidity, don't watch this movie. it's hilarious to a certain point, at which point there is no possible way a 40 year old acts the way the step brothers do.

my friend was laughing the whole way through...its not as funny as some of the movies out there...such as the 40 -year old virgin. Okay, how can you compare the two movies? There is no easy answer to that. Except that the two main characters of this movie are the same age as the guy in 40-year old virgin. Some of the funniest quotes in this movie...and some of the random things that happen (in a completely insane world)...man you just got to love yourself at times in this movie.

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT!!!
