best movie i've ever seen.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

By a distance the crudest and most pointless film I've seen to have come out of modern Hollywood(I've avoided others that I reckon must be equally bad).I bet this went down well with people under 30 but from my over 60 point of view it I blushed for all the people caught in a cinema watching this thinking they were seeing something funny and warm.The weird sisters were trapped in a perpetual teenage world view and their parents deserved better.Is there anyone so chained to the childhood home that they would act this way?Every scene was written by someone with a tin ear for humour.If in doubt make it sexual or toilet .The phallus on the wall is somehow a suitable symbol for this crass film.The two actresses involved ,somehow highly rated,should go and wash their mouths out with soap and water,then use their talents for better ends.I've heard a lot about how great they are but in scene after scene their reputations were diminished.God awful.

Maura Ellis (Amy Poehler) is the younger and more stable of the two sisters. She is overly helpful to a fault. No seriously, It is a fault. Kate (Tina Fey) the younger sister can't hold a job and is a bad influence for her daughter (Madison Davenport) who is more adult than her. When their parents sell their home the film turns into a high school reunion film with the sisters taking on opposite roles for the night...that is a high school reunion plus hot Asian chicks which are in vogue right now.I admit I had many laugh out loud moments in a comedy that also had a lot of misses. The crude humor made me think this was a teen sex comedy for middle aged women. Not as good as "Bridesmaids" but if you liked that film, you should smile at this one.Guide: Plenty of swearing. No nudity. Samantha Bee in a sex scene, sort of.

Sisters has pretty much everything going for it except that one thing that you really need to make a good comedy - being funny. It's not that I expected much from the movie - mindless fun was all I was after. I did get the mindless, just not the fun. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are about as funny as they come, and it's obvious that they have a great chemistry. Supporting cast are stellar comedic talents too. Except, I couldn't get one decent laugh during the movie. Gigs were off, writing was pretty bad, plot was meandering and the 'characters' were just vehicles for the stars to do what they thought would be funny. It's kind of sad, really - this team can do much better!

Dismayed to learn that their parents have decided to sell their childhood home without asking them, two sisters approaching middle age decide to throw one last party while their parents are away in this energetic comedy starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. As anyone who has watched them host the Golden Globes will know, Fey and Poehler have excellent chemistry together and they admirably make for convincing siblings here despite hardly looking alike. Outside of this undeniable talent, the film unfortunately has little going in its favour with gross-out gags and loud physical humour frequently favoured over wit and charm. The script has its heart in the right place, touching on heartfelt issues such as the inability to return to the carefree days of one's youth, however, the wild shenanigans quickly take over any messages that the film has to offer. The key question to ask oneself before watching the film is how funny it sounds to have grown women acting like teenagers half their age. There is some amusement value for sure and a twist in the final 45 minutes adds some zest as Fey's character futilely tries to stop the party, but as a film clocking in at around the two-hour mark, the material quickly wears thin with the twist coming too late in the piece. And yet, throughout thick and thin, Fey and Poehler give it their all, both having their fair share of heartfelt moments amidst the chaos. Fans of James Brolin and Dianne Wiest might also be interested in their brief turns as the sisters' parents, but of the supporting cast, it is surprisingly WWE star John Cena who steals the show.
