My brother in law has a gigantic home theater, with two big speakers in the front. There are also a whole bunch of speakers around the room, but they are smaller. It sounds great. Now my father has a similar setup, but he only has 2 speakers, and one in the back, and I don't notice a sound difference. Is it really necessary to have so many speakers?

Given the right specs, physical size and room size a stereo set of speakers can do anything 5.1 can do. You'd have to have a perfect situation where a sound effect works flawlessly to have this disposition though. When you hear cymbals crashing from slightly behind you to the left, as intended by the mixer, then you'll believe it. You can phase speakers to emulate sound coming from any direction 360 degrees around you. You can't do more than what our limitations, 2 input sources, can handle. More speakers just means you don't have to use giant speakers and a room that's the right size for them.
