Step Brothers and other movie news

I went to see Step Brothers starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. It was crude, obscene, and insulting to anyone with an IQ greater than 2. The plot isn't even worth mentioning, and the humor centers around idiocy and obscenities.
Even Ferrell and Reilly, who worked together so well in Talladega Nights, and who clearly understand comedy, could not save this movie.
Simply put, it's idiotic, insulting, and not nearly as funny as one would expect, considering the actors involved. Don't waste your $10.
Step Brothers gets a 2/10.

I feel compelled to talk about a certain movie that is coming out because I feel that it has the stupidest premise since Sex and the City, the movie. It's called "The House Bunny." The basic plot is that a former playboy whore, I mean bunny, works as a sorority house mother. Eh, I don't really care about that. The part that bothers me is this: She "teaches" them about the opposite sex. Now, the trailer has a little part where one of the "taught" sorority girls says something like "We're better than we ever were." What is that implying?
It's implying that to have worth, you must be "OMG hawt" and not awkward at all around the opposite sex. It's also saying that everyone should fit a certain mold and not deviate from that mold at all.
Attn: Sorority girls- You were fine the way you were. You were good people, smart, intelligent, not vapid, vacuous, or self-absorbed, like a lot of the women I know.
I think the writers knew exactly what they were doing. At any rate, it would be wise not to support a message like that.
Before watching, I give it a 1/10.
