Step Brothers (sic)

Like Lynne Truss and many other members of the grammar police, the movie "Two Weeks Notice" created an uproar with its missing apostrophe. And I suspect that the widespread release of the Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly comedy "Step Brothers" will soon create an uproar of its own. How sad is it that a major production company can't be error-free in a movie title? I haven't seen the movie, but I am aware of its plot. (Read more on Wikipedia.) I am unaware of how this horrible injustice could have been anything other than a mistake. But I wonder how everyone involved in this movie's production could stand to look so ignorant. At any rate, I am sure Ms. Truss is losing some sleep over this one.
