It has some good laughs and some generic ones, it's pleasant and diverting. Bobby Moynihan steals some scenes and Leguizamo deserves more work in everything!

There comes a time in every actor's career when they stop trying to produce great material and just give in to the Hollywood formula becoming literal caricatures.

Of course Fey didThere comes a time in every actor's career when they stop trying to produce great material and just give in to the Hollywood formula becoming literal caricatures. I think we're starting to see this in the work of Tina Fey. Of course Fey did not write or direct this movie which explains the utter dreck we see before us. The question then begs: Why? Let's hope this isn't the start of a complete sell out.… Expand

Fey is the wild failure, while Poehler plays the stable do-gooder. When their parents decide to sell their home, the girls travel back to clean out their rooms, but not before one final blowout. The flick is all about the snappy banter that bounces effortlessly between them, thanks to SNL writer Paula Pell, who manages to capture their style with sassy ease. There are some cheap shots and obvious gags, but the witty comments make them amusing. It’s a lot of it’s fun until about half way thru the big bash, when the mayhem stops building and just gets silly. Still, if you like these women and their comic chemistry (plus a healthy helping of enjoyable supporting characters), you won’t be disappointed.… Expand

I love Amy Poehler and I really like Tina Fey and the duo have worked very well together in other projects including hosting the Golden Globes. Sisters is their newest collaboration and this film could have been so much better. Fey andI love Amy Poehler and I really like Tina Fey and the duo have worked very well together in other projects including hosting the Golden Globes. Sisters is their newest collaboration and this film could have been so much better. Fey and Poehler's friendship behind the camera certainly contributed to good chemistry in front of it and they do provide some pretty solid laughs here and there but there are a lot of random jokes that are terrible. I found the supporting cast of characters to be really funny and at some points they were funnier than the two stars. I know I'm not really the target audience but I just didn't laugh as much as I would have liked. The other major issue that I had with this movie is that it is a movie that did all it needed to do in 90 minutes but its two hours. I'm not completely writing Sisters off because it may be considered funny to other people but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.… Expand

This was Tina Fey and Amy Poehler being Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. It was like a mashup of 30 Rock with Parks and Rec, minus the great supporting cast. Unfortunately, its the supporting cast that makes those shows.

Still, there were a handful of funny moments and it was overall fine enough. See it if you like these two, but catching it on TV/the Internet will be fine.… Expand

i heard good things about the movie but it was barely funny overall, with the party scene taking up a big chunk of screen time. i think a better movie if dianne weist was in it more because was pretty funny when she showed up.

The movie reminded me of when kids get together and try to appear macho by cussing and being the most crude. Every crude joke is taken to the extreme. Even the aging parents are not spared.

A movie that's actually better than seeing 3 dumb chipmunks singing throughout the entire movie, but exactly worse than another installment of Star Wars (which is completely botted... don't trust these people).

Sisters has some good laughs, but is ultimately too long and takes too long to get to the laughs.

“Sisters” follows an atrocious first thirty minutes with a watchable final ninety. The humour is hit or miss and the runtime should have been shortened.

A Seth Rogan type movie but with women. Raunchy humor, stupid situations, so you have to be in the mood for this movie or you won't enjoy it. I have to admit, I had some belly buster laughs.

Two sisters decide to throw one last house party before their parents sell their family home. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are making a movie together? Awesome!

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are making a movie together? Awesome! Although, this movie wasn't awesome it was still a pretty fun time. It doesn't work too well as a comedy mainly this is sadly due to the fact that a lot of the funniest parts were in the trailer. But there is still enough substance for you to not feel completely robbed. This is obviously a given but Tiny and Amy's chemistry together was so believable and real that you don't feel like you are watching characters interact and humans instead. The comedic timing was a bit off. There are times where certain scenes were stretched out to such an extent that the punchline/joke just became annoying. There is one running gag that really annoyed me and it involved one of their friends from their childhood thinking he's funny and he kept making these painfully bad jokes. I usually love awkward humor but it just felt a little forced. But is this movie funny? That's the biggest question, will you laugh throughout this movie. Yeah, I had a good time with this movie and was bursting out laughing at times. In the end, Sisters was a good time! Some of the jokes feel flat and when they do, they do really hard. But, I didn't go into this movie thinking it would be the next Birdman. I'm giving this one a 6.5/10.… Expand

Had high hopes for this movie on hearing the premise and that Fey & Poehler were starring. In the end it comes of as being a bit lazy and forced.
