Laurel & Hardy. Abbott & Costello. And, for a short spell, Aykroyd & Belushi.

With apologies to Paula Cole ... where have all the comedy duos gone?

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly try to answer that question themselves with "Step Brothers," their second major pairing. And it's funnier than their first go-around, the amusing "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."

My Washington Times review shares my unexpected love for the film.

The weekend's movie lineup also features "X-Files: I Want to Believe," the TV show's second feature presentation. My colleague Sonny Bunch tackles Scully, Mulder and co. in today's print Times. Looks like something is missing from the conspiracy-laden formula.
