Movies that feel likeStep Brothers (2008)

Brennan Huff and Dale Doback might be grown men. But that doesn't stop them from living at home and turning into jealous, competitive stepbrothers when their single parents marry. Brennan's constant competition with Dale strains his mom's marriage to Dale's dad, leaving everyone to wonder whether they'll ever see eye to eye.

If you loved Step Brothers, the closest films we have are Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013), The Big Short (2015) and Adrift in Tokyo (2007). All three share Step Brothers' witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Chef (2014).
