Sisters

Whether or not Sisters is the best use of Fey's or Poehler's gifts is beside the point; they're entitled to blow off the same dopey steam that propels the likes of Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner in all those Fockers movies.

Pell's script, inspired in no small way by her own relationship with her own sister, is so smart, so genuine, as crazy as things might get the human saga at the center remains pure and realistically heartfelt no matter what.

Is Sisters a good movie? No. No, it is not. Its plot manages to be both jarring (so many twists!) and predictable; its supporting characters are thin; it makes gleeful use of tired stereotypes.

'Sisters' is a Fey & Poehler picture, a comedy vehicle designed to showcase the skills and personalities of its stars, and for the most part, it succeeds.

This movie would have been better with a heavier focus on just these two rather than bringing in their SNL entourage

Even when Paula Pell's screenplay falters, the likeability of the central pairing is more than enough to carry the picture.

Gets a lot of mileage out of its surefire premise...

Sisters is a house party film told by and from the perspective of women, and that is precisely why it succeeds.

Sisters is one of those comedies that ends with a series of outtakes over the end credits, and by the looks of it, the talent had more fun shooting the film than we did watching it.

It's a simple comedic premise squeezed for giggles by a likeable cast.
