A Movie Review

So I've been following the Battlestar Galactica series by plot description on Wikipedia (because a: Downloading copies is illegal and really hard to work out as Google doesn't give very good links, b: its illegal and I wouldn't steal a handbag from a lady or her car or shoptlift a car and put a handbag it and frame a midget for the crime..... Sorry got a bit distracted)

Anyway, as you may know I am a fan of the Funny or Die website. The guys behind this cavalcade of hilarity made a movie called Step Brothers and I just watched it.
Funny ass sh*t.

Multiple ninja stars *************************************x10

Its got Wookie masks, helicopter's, men enjoying the wholesome companionship of Steven Segal movies. The fact that the majority of the dialogue was improvised is clear. But it is also the the fact that they are both 40 year old men living like adolescents that plays so very well.

(Imagine I'm sitting in a wood panelled room, I'm wearing a tweed jacket and I've just finished knocking the ash out of pipe.)

Me; I know a fair number of men like those two. Guys who have lost their way and who have become a Peter Pan, if you will.

You(played by someone else); Is there anyone in particular your referring too?

Me; You see, having an imagination is important. But an adult will use their creativity in different, more constructive ways than a Man Child.

You; Oh man, I don't like the tone of your voice. It sounds very judgemental. You better not be about to bad mouth Neil Gaiman or fu*king Vampires and Shi*t.

Me; Oh I'm going there, my friend.

You; You're not my friend!!

[scene ends]

Not sure where I was going with that.
So in conclusion, watch Step Brothers, there are valuable lessons for us all in this movie.
