Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Unremittingly juvenile and irredeemably funny.

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?

fresh:
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.

Brideshead Revisited, it turns out, deserves a revisit.
