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 of course two sisters that are not only dealing with some personal issues but learns that their parents are selling their childhood home and it doesn't go well for them. And they come up with an idea to throw one last party with their high school friends and enemies as well.
Both Fey and Poehler play complete opposite characters in the beginning of the film. Maura (Poehler) a caring and wise little sister to Kate (Fey), who's 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 a bad thing at all.
Besides Fey and Poehler, there are so many great supporting characters from the parents (played by Dianne Wiest and James Brolin) to Maya Rudoplh, Ike Barinholtz, Rachel Dratch and Samantha Bee. But I think the best were both John Cena and Bobby Moynihan who had the best scenes in the film.
Cena plays Pazuzu, a drug dealer that Kate and Marua buy from to make the party interesting. In one scene as he was showing what he had in his huge drug box. The names of everything he had was 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 drug. Performance was unbelievable along with Cena.
Sisters has that feel of not only connecting and looking back at your high school years but that you can't always go back to the past to look into the future. And I think that's what it showed when Kate and Maura had to deal with the selling of their parent's home.
The film was hilarious and so well written. Paula Pell written a great story and Fey and Poehler knocked it off at of the ballpark. I laughed (very, very hard), teared up some and laughed even more. This is defiantly the holiday film to see this Christmas.
Overall, I give this film a 9.5/10.
Sisters is available in theaters now.
