BY MAGGIE SCOTT

Movie review: Step Brothers
BY MAGGIE SCOTT
Packed with good-natured vulgarity and juvenile stupidity, the new comedy Step Brothers is like some perverted “Leave It to Beaver” episode.
This free-wheeling parody of blended families has a field day with the fallout from two rational professional adults. They are struggling to make amends for so grossly enabling their grown, free-loading male children who take an instant dislike to one another after Dale’s widowed dad (Richard Jenkins) and Brennan’s divorced mom (Mary Steenburgen) fall in love and tie the knot.
Stuck somewhere in the eight-year-old range of emotional development, the new step-siblings launch a scurrilous, no-holds-barred struggle for dominance. No insult is too low, no prank too disgusting, no argument too nonsensical.
