Review of Sisters (2015) by Benthebrownie — 20 Dec 2015

Two sisters decide to throw one last house party before their parents sell their family home. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are making a movie together? Awesome! Although, this movie wasn't awesome it was still a pretty fun time.

It doesn't work too well as a comedy mainly this is sadly due to the fact that a lot of the funniest parts were in the trailer. But there is still enough substance for you to not feel completely robbed.

This is obviously a given but Tiny and Amy's chemistry together was so believable and real that you don't feel like you are watching characters interact and humans instead. The comedic timing was a bit off.

There are times where certain scenes were stretched out to such an extent that the punchline/joke just became annoying. There is one running gag that really annoyed me and it involved one of their friends from their childhood thinking he's funny and he kept making these painfully bad jokes.

I usually love awkward humor but it just felt a little forced. But is this movie funny? That's the biggest question, will you laugh throughout this movie. Yeah, I had a good time with this movie and was bursting out laughing at times.

In the end, Sisters was a good time! Some of the jokes feel flat and when they do, they do really hard. But, I didn't go into this movie thinking it would be the next Birdman. I'm giving this one a 6.

5/10.
