Sisters (2015)

Genre: Comedy

Directed by: Jason Moore

Starring: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler

Running time: 118 minutes

Maura and Kate, the Ellis sisters, travel back to their parents’ home in Orlando to find out that it has been sold and that their folks have moved into a condo. Before the sale goes through, they have to clean out their childhood bedroom, which has remained untouched. After spending a night together in this home where they grew up, the women decide to throw one last party and to invite everyone from their younger days.

It is plain to see that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are very good friends. Every time they are on screen together, their chemistry is so very clear. They work so well off each other that you can believe they are actually sisters, though they look nothing alike. They are as solid as it gets in the comedy genre, as they have fine-tuned their game over the years. They have also found a good supporting cast to assist them here.

Sisters is an extremely funny comedy filled with a multitude of moments that made me laugh out loud. Crazy situations upon crazy situations, catfights with spankings, physical humor, many SNL alumns; all the ingredients are there to entertain. The film also carries a nice little message about the true meaning of home. The dosage of comedy and seriousness is just right, never going overboard on either side. Overall, this is a film that I would recommend to anybody who seeks entertainment in the comedy genre.
