==Plot== |
|||
Brennan Huff ([[Will Ferrell]]) is a sporadically unemployed thirty-nine-year-old who lives with his divorcee mother, Nancy ([[Mary Steenburgen]]). Dale Doback ([[John C. Reilly]]) is a terminally [[Unemployment|unemployed]] forty-year-old who lives with his widower father, Robert ([[Richard Jenkins]]). When Robert and Nancy get married and move in together, Brennan and Dale are forced to live with each other as step brothers. They immediately don't like each other. Dale warns Brennan not to touch his [[Drum kit|drum set]]. Later, Brennan plays on the drum set. Dale enters the room and notices a chip on one of his drumsticks and confronts Brennan about it. Brennan denies this and a fight breaks out between the two after Brennan vows and makes good on his promise to "put my [[scrotum|nutsack]] on your drumset". The fight ends as Dale and Brennan strike each other at the same time with a bat and a golf club. The parents declare that the irresponsible men should find jobs or else they're out of the house. Later on, Brennan's successful but mean younger brother Derek ([[Adam Scott (actor)|Adam Scott]]) comes to visit with his family. As Brennan and Dale hide in Dale's tree house, Derek comes to mock Brennan and Dale. Angered by Derek, Dale [[Punch (strike)|punches]] Derek in the face. Brennan is in awe that Dale did something to Derek that he always wanted to do. After this occurred, Derek's long-suffering wife Alice ([[Kathryn Hahn]]) finds it arousing that Dale punched Derek, becoming [[Infatuation|infatuated]] with him. Both men eventually realize that they have a lot in common, and become best friends. |
|||
They take [[job interview]]s at which they perform quite poorly. Walking home, Brennan and Dale decide to start their own company called "Prestige Worldwide" and encounter kids from a local school that beat up Dale on a regular basis. The kids beat up Dale and Brennan and force them to lick white dog poop. At home, the parents reveal that Derek is selling the house. Dale and Brennan sabotage Derek's plans by dressing as bad neighbors (a [[Ku Klux Klan|Klansman]] and a [[Nazi]]) and pretending Brennan had died in front of the buyers. Soon they create a [[music video]] to promote their singing talents being shot on Robert's boat and show it to the parents, Derek, and others at Derek's birthday party. The video reveals that the boat was crashed into rocks and Robert punishes them. |
|||
During [[Christmas]] time, the boys sleepwalk and attack Robert after he wakes them up. Angered by this, Robert forces himself to [[divorce]] Nancy and put all the blame on them. Dale and Brennan blame each other for the divorce and go back to hating each other. They go their separate ways as they both get apartments. Brennan starts working for Derek and Dale becomes a [[caterer]]. At a sales party for helicopters, the Catalina Wine Mixer (arranged by Brennan), the family meets again just as the band quits due to a [[heckler]]. Robert realizes that the boys are miserable and tells them to be themselves again and go for their dream. Brennan and Dale go on stage as Prestige Worldwide and with Brennan's singing of the song [[Por Ti Volare]], the parents and Derek have a change of character. Robert and Nancy fall in love again after realizing why they fell in love in the first place, Dale breaks off his relationship with Alice after she fantasizes him as a centaur and herself as a woman in the woods, and Derek regains the love for his brother after bringing up a memory of them when they were little and Brennan helped him fly a kite for the first time. Since this, Dale and Brennan have become a successful [[karaoke]] duo. Brennan is now in a relationship with his therapist Denise ([[Andrea Savage]]). Derek and his children are now nicer and more respectful and Derek is in the process of learning to become less of an egotistical jerk. Robert and Nancy get married again and move back into the house with a new [[tree house]] made from the destroyed boat just for Dale and Brennan although Derek and his kids also go to enjoy it, and in the tree house are Hustler magazines, crossbows, pirate hats (which when Brennan wears one makes his girlfriend aroused) , and Chewbacca masks. |
|||
During the end credits, Brennan and Dale arrive in a [[helicopter]] and exact their revenge on the kids by beating them up by using karate moves. Following the credits, Brennan and Dale have another joint sleepwalking incident where they bump into one another and head out a door. |
