When Brennan's mother and Dale's father marry and move in together, it turns the overgrown boys' world upside down. Their insane rivalry and narcissism pull the new family apart, forcing them to work together to reunite their parents.

You only needed one look at the poster for Step Brothers to know exactly what this film would be like.

Despite some obvious flaws, 'Step Brothers' remains a hugely enjoyable, well-constructed slice of lowbrow Saturday night entertainment, leaving Ferrell's position as the reigning king of US comedy secure for a while longer.

Don't watch it on an airplane, don't check it out on cable, don't walk past the bargain basement bin where it's been sold.

On its own terms, Step Brothers is hilarious. But it's a shame that the filmmakers didn't have more faith in the audience. Why resort to gross-out tactics when your premise is strong enough to allow for a more sophisticated approach?

Brideshead Revisited, it turns out, deserves a revisit.

Foul-mouthed Ferrell comedy isn't very funny. No kids.

You know you're in trouble when the cleverest parts of your movie are the ironic T-shirts, worn unironically ... (but) a bonus is deserved by the person who dug up the Pablo Cruise shirt.

McKay and co. manage to pull off a strangely heart-warming finale.

Step Brothers is unashamedly dumb, unoriginal and downright offensively childish. But aren't these the very same reasons why people like these movies?

Step Brothers is a rowdy, rambunctious, fitful, against-the-wall comedy. Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, and director writer Adam McKay heave comedy, like spaghetti, against the wall. About half sticks; the other half makes a real mess.

Unremittingly juvenile and irredeemably funny.

There's a good subject for satire here, the extended adolescence of American kids. But satire presupposes maturity, or at least some perspective.
