ah, the beauty of low expectations.
(and a worrrrrying start that eventually bubbles into something with real comic momentum).
for your consideration:
Bobby Moynihan (Best Supporting Actor)
IT'S STEVIA!
i liked how we knew / tracked everyone at the party. and i laughed when the thing got stuck up that guy's but. and when Dianne Wiest said a dirty non-word. laughter is good. it makes me happy.
kate mckinnon's character with her whopping 2 lines and background dancing was maybe the best thing about this whole movie
Welcome to Kathy's Korner! Where my mom watches a movie and talks to me about it. She just watched Sisters
Mom: Okay so, what was I thinking, I took my 15 year old daughter to see this movie. Hysterical raunchy, definitely a great movie to see. Did i tell ya? I have a lot of sisters, we made it a sisters and cousins day to see this movie. Total raunch. It was hysterical. We laughed hysterical. But I couldn't concentrate that much because my Deliceful phone kept ringing, I booked 9 appointments, you know I have a head lice appointment company. But what I did see was hysterical. Tina Fey and what's her name...
Me: Amy Poehler.
Mom: Oh okay,…
Your reaction to this film will probably lean heavily on whether your reaction to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is more on the "vague, teeth-gritted tolerance" end of the scale, or deep "I wanna crawl under their skins simultaneously so I can be both of them at the same time and also be besties with both of them at the same time" devotion. This is a funny, lively, palling-around kind of comedy, very much like a Judd Apatow "bros grow up" comedy, with the genders reversed and no one playing the "disapproving adult" role that's always so annoying in Apatow films. But it's very much the Fey and Poehler show, and it's about their comedy partnership and friendship in outsized fictionalized form. I'm into it.
"your profile picture is a picture of a lowfat chicken casserole"
"yeah... it is..."
rachel dratch is funnier than everyone else in this movie combined
It just isn't a Tina Fey movie without that signature white girl hip hop dancing. NEVER gets old.
Funny! Willing to forgive the clunky sentiment and that it's like half an hour heavy for the part where Dianne Wiest says "cuntingly".
Placing the young-adult-centric party comedy, with its booze, sex, and parents-are-away driven mayhem, in the world of forty-somethings is pretty smart; and Jason Moore's "Sisters" exploits this concept and its rich, comic ironies for the full enjoyment of the film's audience. That audience may not recognize the robust wit of that key narrative conceit until after the credits have rolled, but "Sisters" provides full-bodied comedy entertainment even up to that point. A role reversal comedy fueled by its stars, the film is a clever, foul-mouthed, unhinged charmer.
Starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as two sisters who return to their childhood home after their parents sell it, "Sisters" follows the siblings as they attempt to throw one last house party…
Yo this was actually super funny!! But my god the anxiety I got when people started messing up the house............ my worst nightmare

Knowing that I’m writing a Blu-ray review about the Tina Fey – Amy Poehler vehicle Sisters (out tomorrow), you’re probably thinking I’m talking about how guys get all the gross-out movies and isn’t it about time the girls got some, and didn’t Bridesmaids and Trainwreck already prove that women can be just as lewd and crude and funny as men.
Yeah but let’s get more specific than that.
Will Ferrell has been mining underdeveloped man-child characters forever now, while Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen added more fuel to the bromance genre, and now every broad comedy has a blissed-out dude who refuses to act his age or a buttoned-up do-gooder who does nothing but act his age.
Sisters has…
