Brennan lives with his <a href="/wiki/Divorce" title="Divorce">divorced</a> mother, Nancy, while Dale lives with his <a href="/wiki/Widow" title="Widow">widowed</a> father, Robert. Robert and Nancy meet, fall in love, and marry, forcing Brennan and Dale to live together as <a href="/wiki/Stepsibling" title="Stepsibling">stepbrothers</a>. Brennan and Dale initially despise each other, and after Brennan defies Dale's orders not to touch his <a href="/wiki/Drum_kit" title="Drum kit">drum set</a>, a brawl erupts between them. They are grounded with no television for a week and are ordered to find jobs within a month or be evicted. </p><p>When Brennan's arrogant <a href="/wiki/Class_discrimination" title="Class discrimination">classist</a> younger brother Derek, a successful <a href="/wiki/Helicopter" title="Helicopter">helicopter</a> leasing agent, visits with his family, he openly ridicules Dale and Brennan, and Dale punches him in the face. Brennan is awed that Dale stood up to Derek, while Derek's discontented wife Alice finds Dale's courage arousing and begins a sexual <a href="/wiki/Affair" title="Affair">affair</a> with him. Brennan and Dale bond over their shared tastes and interests, particularly music. Brennan had given up singing after Derek and his friends jeered his performance in a school musical. Robert, meanwhile, schedules several job interviews for Brennan and Dale but they perform poorly. Robert and Nancy reveal that they plan to sell the house with Derek's help, retire, and travel the world on Robert's <a href="/wiki/Sailboat" title="Sailboat">sailboat</a>. They also sign Brennan and Dale up for therapy and open limited bank accounts for them until they find work. Brennan <a href="/wiki/Love_at_first_sight" title="Love at first sight">falls in love at first sight</a> with his therapist, Denise, but it is unrequited and she maintains her professional distance. </p><p>At Derek's birthday party, Dale and Brennan present a pitch video for their <a href="/wiki/Entertainment_company" class="mw-redirect" title="Entertainment company">entertainment company</a>, "Prestige Worldwide", that includes a <a href="/wiki/Music_video" title="Music video">music video</a>, "Boats 'N Hoes", which they filmed on Robert's boat without his permission. The presentation backfires when the video shows the boat crashing, shattering Robert and Nancy's sailing dreams and straining their marriage. On <a href="/wiki/Christmas" title="Christmas">Christmas</a>, Robert and Nancy announce they are divorcing, upsetting Brennan and Dale, who blame each other. Brennan and Dale go their separate ways, live independently, and gradually become functioning adults. </p><p>Brennan gets a job at Derek's helicopter leasing firm and insists on overseeing a prestigious sales event, the <a href="/wiki/Santa_Catalina_Island_(California)" title="Santa Catalina Island (California)">Catalina</a> Wine Mixer. He hires the <a href="/wiki/Catering" title="Catering">catering</a> company that employs Dale and invites Robert and Nancy to attend. The party goes well until the lead singer of the hired <a href="/wiki/Billy_Joel" title="Billy Joel">Billy Joel</a> <a href="/wiki/Cover_band" title="Cover band">cover band</a> loses his temper with a heckler and is hustled away. Derek blames Brennan for the fiasco and fires him. Robert encourages Brennan and Dale to be their eccentric child-at-heart selves again and perform to save the party. The pair take the stage and Brennan sings "<a href="/wiki/Con_te_partir%C3%B2" title="Con te partirò">Por Ti Volaré</a>" while Dale accompanies him on drums. Brennan's moving performance causes Robert and Nancy to rekindle their romance, Brennan and Derek to finally make amends, and for Denise to become infatuated with Brennan. Dale, meanwhile, ends his affair with Alice, much to her dismay. </p><p>Six months later, Robert and Nancy have remarried and moved back to their old house, while Brennan and Dale have turned "Prestige Worldwide" into a successful entertainment company that owns several karaoke bars and restaurants.
