Sisters Movie Review



When sisters Maura Ellis (Amy Poehler) and Kate Ellis (Tina Fey) are hell bent on wrecking their parents plans for selling their childhood home; nothing will stop them, or so they thought.


This film had several well known actors and actresses including Maya Rudolph (Brinda), James Brolin (Bucky Ellis), Dianne Wiest (Deana Ellis), John Cena (Pazuzu), and John Leguizamo (Dave).


“Sisters” is definitely a movie for friends to check out or sisters who want to relive those days together growing up.


Opening weekend “Sisters” brought in $13.9 million.


“Sisters” isn’t the first time Poehler and Fey worked together cohesively and hilariously. They starred together in “Baby Mama” in 2008. Also in 2004 they appeared in “Mean Girls”.


Compared to “Baby Mama” “Sisters” is amusing in its own sense. It has its own humor. Poehler and Fey play two different characters in each movie and bring to life two individual personalities.


The movie was full of laughs. Especially the scene where Maura (Poehler) is completely wasted and basically tells off an officer and gets away with it. I’m not condoning her behavior by any means, but it was just too damn hilarious not to mention. She spells out S-H-I-T, flips the bird and makes a reference about a particular pastry. Let’s just say it was hilarious and I couldn’t hold back the laughter.


I really liked that the movie showed the real side of being sisters, and what it is like when siblings are dead set on destroying their parents plans no matter the circumstances.


After a seriously awesome house party and a few lessons learned, Maura and Kate realized that the house was just a building and that a home is a feeling.


If you like sisterly love and a walk down memory lane, then this movie is the one for you.
