Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
Two disconnected sisters are summoned to clean out their childhood bedrooms before their parents sell their family home.
Sisters (2015) is a broad comedy vehicle for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler that leans heavily on familiar party-gone-wrong and nostalgia tropes. The plot is formulaic and predictable, following well-worn beats of adult siblings reconnecting through chaos. Fey and Poehler's chemistry and comedic timing elevate the acting above the material, but the supporting cast is underutilized. Cinematography is functional and unremarkable, typical of studio comedies. The film offers little in terms of novelty, recycling the one-last-party premise without adding a distinctive voice or fresh perspective. The ending wraps up too neatly and sentimentally, undercutting the anarchic energy of the middle act.
