Roger Ebert Step Brothers

Years later, director Adam McKay revealed that he actually Ebert’s scathing review. McKay argued that Ebert had unintentionally captured the exact feeling the filmmakers wanted to evoke: the frustration of a society dealing with the "infantilization" of American men. According to Decider , McKay felt Ebert wrote the review from the perspective of Richard Jenkins' character, making the critique a meta-tribute to the film’s underlying themes.

And so, we return to the cataline. That stupid, impossible, beautiful drawing of a car with a bed in the back. In the world of adult logic, it is worthless. In the world of Roger Ebert’s balcony, it is a masterpiece of imagination. It goes nowhere. It makes no money. It solves no problems. And for that reason, it is perfect. Step Brothers is the cataline of cinema. And Roger Ebert, bless him, was the only critic willing to take it for a drive. roger ebert step brothers
