Sisters

It's one of this year's best holiday movies. The comedy duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are back and hits another grand slam.
Sisters is about two sisters dealing with personal issues and learning that their parents are selling their childhood home. This doesn't go well for them, so they devise an idea to throw one last party with their high school friends and enemies. In the film's beginning, Fey and Poehler play entirely opposite characters. Maura (Poehler) is a caring and wise little sister to Kate (Fey), whose life is a bit of a mess with a child. But as the film progresses, we see them as we usually see them, and that's not bad.


Besides Fey and Poehler, there are many great supporting characters, from the parents (played by Dianne Wiest and James Brolin) to Maya Rudolph, Ike Barinholtz, Rachel Dratch, and Samantha Bee. But the best were John Cena and Bobby Moynihan, who had the best scenes in the film.

Cena plays Pazuzu, a drug dealer from which Kate and Marua buy to make the party enjoyable. In one scene, he shows what he has in his vast drug box. The names of everything he has are hilarious. Moynihan, who plays Alex, the annoying high school comic, goes from "Oh my god, I know that guy in high school" to one crazy comic after getting into Maura's drugs. The performance was unbelievable, along with Cena.

Sisters have the feeling of not only connecting and looking back at your high school years but also that you can't always look back to the past to see the future. This was evident when Kate and Maura had to deal with the selling of their parents' home. The film was hilarious and so well written. Paula Pell wrote a great story, and Fey and Poehler knocked it out of the ballpark. I laughed (very, very hard), teared up some, and laughed even more. This is definitely the holiday film to see this Christmas.

Overall, I give this film a 9.5/10.

Sisters is available in theaters now.
