Reviews & comments
Flicks, Daniel Rutledge
flicksA coming-of-age familial comedy and a somewhat interesting spin on the house party movie, Sisters sees Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in great form together but is nonetheless fairly forgettable. The duo have a contagiously fun onscreen chemistry, clearly enjoying being more crass than we normally see them. They're obviously real-life pals and as they drop dozens of F-bombs, make poo jokes and generally behave badly, they add a lot of heart to what is otherwise only a mildly entertaining film.
Cute, fun and a good little comedy!
For those that appreciate comedic family dynamics and the art form of hosting a killer party! I watched it with my sister and it was hilarious seeing the similarities between us and the sisters. Not to be taken too seriously of course, good for a laugh! I also really liked the cultural elements and nostalgic value, was interesting.
Decent, often hilarious, but needs a trim.
I'm a big Tina & Amy fan, so I was always going to enjoy this film - and it is often highly amusing and entertaining. The film lets itself down when allowing the jokes to continue long after they've played out - a result of a supporting cast packed with SNL alum allowed to ad lib & exaggerate to their hearts content. Fine, but not suited to this...
