फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
So, it started off OK. And I mean just OK. I liked where the characters were going. But then, it got to a situation where BULLYING and ASSAULT was involved. AND allowed by BOTH parents no less. As well as allowed by the family members. It's not acceptable. And not funny.
The acting was decent. Jason Ritter was pretty good. I liked Christine Lahti. Halfway through the movie, they were the stand outs for me.
After the halfway mark, the movie got even worse and made me regret thinking there was hope. Maybe the best thing about the movie was that amazing house they filmed in and the scenery / location.

The plot of the movie sounded like it could have real potential to be a great comedy. Plus there was a reasonable cast. However...the movie quickly degenerated into a dialogue rife with f-bombs and other filth that is getting more irritating with each movie. Like most "comedy/dramas" the comedy is unfortunately only sporadic and tries to go for cheap laughs with vulgarity instead of crisp writing. On top of this, there is absolutely no way that a social worker would ever trust this mess of a family with a precious little child. This is an unfortunate mess of bad writing propped up by high reviews that are definitely unwarranted and cheapen the integrity of IMDB.
A newly blended family of adult children each with their own peculiarities, fears and resentments and locked away in an isolated house in Northern Ontario
what could go wrong? It's a great set up to explore family dynamics, buried emotional scars, forgiveness, isolation and the inherent comedy that exists in all families. If your family isn't laughing at itself half the time you all still have a ton of work to do. That is the message that I took away from this film
The Steps is funny, charming and feels authentic, as if the writer / director Andrew Currie must of lived some iteration or version of this story. It has a kind of idiosyncratic lightness to it, but the comedy is grounded by serious themes and emotions. Andrew Currie has such command of the craft of directing that you kind of become a silent sibling in the corner and let it all unfold in front of you.

I watched The Steps at Cineplex on Friday night. OMG it was so good!!! Jason Ritter plays this New York business dude who was fired, but pretends he's still got a job. Emannuelle Chriqui (from Entourage) is his sister who was a bit like me when I was in my 20s! They head up to northern Ontario to meet their new step mother and step siblings and the sh*t starts to happen. I really loved everything about this movie. It was funny, and charming, and really smart. Part way through I realized there was real emotional depth at work. It crept up on me, and I really started to feel the pain from these characters. It just felt like a lot of the people I grew up with. I went with my guy and he really loved it too. 10 out of 10!!!! So good, check it out. You will love it!!!
I watch a ton of these type of movies looking for that gem that nobody has seen or heard of.
I was hoping for laughs, but nothing in this movie made me even giggle.
It's NOT a bad movie, it's just NOT a comedy, unless you have very low standards to make you laugh.
I didn't regret taking the time to watch it, it's basically a story of two very dysfunctional families coming together as one, at a remote location in Canada.
it's somewhat interesting, it's OK, I'll never recommend to people, but I'm not upset I watched it.
It's different, I can say that, I have never watched a story like this before.
Don't watch this unless you really have some time to burn, as I watch this it has a rating of 8.0, this is obviously a rating based on people involved with the film, there is no way this film is anywhere near an 8....
but like I said, not bad...but I didn't even get near a giggle, it is NOT funny, in my opinion.
It IS however well acted, well written, Well directed, overall well done, I have nothing else bad to say other than it's not a comedy, it's a dramedy, that is somewhat amusing...but nonetheless an interesting, original, somewhat heartwarming story...
