It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

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.

(Flash Review)At what lengths would you, as an adult, stoop to keep your childhood home more than just a memory? Poehler and Fey play adults with parents looking to move and downsize out of their family house. Poehler and Fey are not having any of it when asked to clean out their childhood bedrooms that haven't been touched since they moved out. Now back in town and remembering old friends, many of which now have children, they decide to throw an old school house party as a break from reality. How wild will it get? How much damage will be done? Will the parents still be able to sell or will they still decide to? Overall, this had better humor than most modern comedies these days of the same flavor. With ample crass and lewd moments, there are some actual smart gags and their overall tone is more light-hearted than dark. Unsurprisingly, the core story started to weaken toward the end as they had to deal with the actual plot. If you like the duo of Poehler and Fey, you'll enjoy this.

I went to see this movie right after we saw Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (admittedly, we snuck into this one). This movie wasn't a good experience, but it wasn't as bad as an experience as Why Him was.Tina Fey and Amy Poehler seem to have some talent with them. I never really seen anything that they're in, but they had okay performances here. But for a comedy, it wasn't very funny. I don't recall laughing. At all. But yet, the whole theater was. I'm sorry, but I just don't find Tina Fey cussing up a storm funny. I guess that scene where she rolls around on the floor like a child was kinda funny, but I remember it being kind of forced.There's nothing much to say about this one. I didn't really like this one. The only thing I did like about it was John Cena.

Who's funnier than Tina and Amy together? Not really anyone, that's who. These two being in Sisters together proves it.Synopsis: Sisters Kate and Maura Ellis are summoned home to clean out their childhood bedroom before their parents sell the family house, much to their dismay. Looking to recapture their glory days, they throw one final high-school-style party for their classmates, which turns into the cathartic rager that a bunch a ground-down adults really need. Starring: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler Director: Jason MooreSo, I have heard a lot of people compare this movie to Step- Brothers. First of all, people need to stop doing that. They judge movies in the wrong light if they compare. Secondly, Step-Brothers was a horrible movie (yet something else people need to stop saying in that Step-Brothers is a funny movie). As it is, Step-Brothers doesn't compare to this movie.There was little to nothing wrong with this movie. The only thing that I had a problem with was the fact that a mom didn't have tabs on her own daughter. I am a parent myself, and I wouldn't let my kids go away for a few months without knowing exactly what is going on. That's just me though.Just have to put this one out there. Cena was hilarious for the little time he was in the movie. And it wasn't even Cena. Most of the supporting cast, including James Brolin and Diane Wiest, had some of the funniest parts in the movie.Some people look at movies and wonder why they had been made. I have done that on more than one occasion. With this movie, I did not do that. I wonder why this movie was made sooner. The funniest part about it is that there is supposed to be comedy throughout the movie. The movie did have a bit of comedy, but it was the story that drove the movie.Final Thoughts: Watch this movie. That's the best thing I can say, just watch the movie. You'll thank me for it later.Rating: 8 out of 10
