The movie had several hilarious moments. I'm laughing just thinking about some of them right now. On the other hand, I felt the plot wasn't that strong, because I had a hard time believing the scenario of the first half of the movie. However, I'm not upset, because I have lower expectations for plot when watching comedy movies. Also, the interaction between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly creates the comedy, not the reason why they're interacting. I guess at some point I treated the movie as a bunch of related comedy skits.
It's getting late, so I'll finish up by saying that I like Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) better than Step Brothers, which also starred both Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Between the two plots, the plot for Talladega Nights was more coherent than the plot for Step Brothers.

Watching the movie today, I didn't have any complaints about it. In particular, I didn't have any complaints about the plot. Overall, I enjoyed it.
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 98% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.
Instant Comments:
2: 39 and 40 year-old sons.
2: Hahahaha. Laid-off vs. fired. Salmon.
2: Hahaha. Hahahaha. He's giving his dad a hypothetical and his dad shouts "Shut the fuck up!"
2: Hahahaha. Will Ferrell begins tearing up.
2: He mentions beer, but they were drinking non-alcoholic drinks at dinner.
2: Smile. "And I have to admit, for a little while, I sort of joined in as well."
2: Smile. The nutsack.
2: Smile. The near accident.
2: His story is so rehearsed he can't remember how to continue after being interrupted.
2: Haha. He punches him.
2: Hah. "I want to roll you up and shove you up my vagina."
2: Hahaha. That kissing is hilarious.
2: Smile. Brennan told Dale to open his eyes after he had already unshealthed the sword - which is arguably the cool part.
2: "Exactly the same."
2: Haha. "Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus."
2: Starts spilling Good Will Hunting.
2: She mounts him and then she goes pee in a urinal.
2: $80,000 doesn't seem like a lot relative to whatever he probably makes.
2: Coordinated sleepwalking.
2: He keeps his mixtape on him.
2: Hahaha. "Boats and hoes."
2: Haha. Haha. Their awkward hug.
2: Haha. Hahaha. "It's okay that mine's not movie quality."
Credits:
1: A little after some credits roll, it cuts to them beating up the school kids. Then credits resume. Then at the end of the credits, they're shown getting up from bed and sleepwalking.
2: Passport.
