Whether or not Sisters is the best use of Fey's or Poehler's gifts is beside the point; they're entitled to blow off the same dopey steam that propels the likes of Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner in all those Fockers movies.

Pell's script, inspired in no small way by her own relationship with her own sister, is so smart, so genuine, as crazy as things might get the human saga at the center remains pure and realistically heartfelt no matter what.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 16, 2016

Is Sisters a good movie? No. No, it is not. Its plot manages to be both jarring (so many twists!) and predictable; its supporting characters are thin; it makes gleeful use of tired stereotypes.

'Sisters' is a Fey & Poehler picture, a comedy vehicle designed to showcase the skills and personalities of its stars, and for the most part, it succeeds.

This movie would have been better with a heavier focus on just these two rather than bringing in their SNL entourage

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 24, 2016

Even when Paula Pell's screenplay falters, the likeability of the central pairing is more than enough to carry the picture.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 23, 2016

One of the most disappointing films I've seen in a while.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 9, 2016

It's a bit like Animal House for girls, but not as freewheeling.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2016

This hectic and sentimental comedy, though built on a firm foundation of familiar experience and stifled pain, is a sad waste of sparkling talent.

Neither performer has quite generated the same sparks in cinema. After its weak opening 20 minutes, however, Sisters reverses that pattern.

| Dec 23, 2015

As has so often been the case when it comes to Fey's movie choices, an opportunity has been lost.

| Dec 21, 2015

It's with no small reluctance I report Sisters is a depressing, overlong, repetitive slapstick disaster in which two of the most appealing stars around wallow in the muck AND the mire, figuratively and literally.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 18, 2015

Unfortunately, Sisters just isn't worthy of all the talent involved.

| Dec 17, 2015

You feel that there is a good and maybe even a meaningful comedy here. But it never gets its act together.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 17, 2015

BFFs Amy Poehler and Tina Fey clearly had a whale of a good time making this movie. Watching it is another story, and not a good one.

| Original Score: C | Dec 17, 2015

Although the humor doesn't always go down smoothly, watching two masters work is worth the hangover.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 17, 2015

Fey and Poehler are the only reason to go to this party.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 17, 2015

Think of it as a chance for two people who have been at the top of their game for more than a decade to celebrate their good fortune with a bit of a victory lap. And then another lap.

| Dec 17, 2015

"Sisters" is a reminder that we generally love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for everything except their movies.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 17, 2015

The movie settles for being a party comedy and little else.
