Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie is hilarious. You can't go wrong with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler together. The jokes just keep on coming. The only annoying person in the movie was Bobby Moynihans character. Other than that be prepared to LOL from beginning to end. Like when Rachel Dratch says Have you all seen the guys at this party?? They all look like they're slowly being poisoned.

The Saturday Night Live (SNL) alumni are back...well, three of them at least. If you like the sketches from that iconic show which has provided the movie world with comedic actors ranging from Steve Martin to Eddie Murphy, you should enjoy this raunchy, smutty and crude comedy. It's definitely not for everyone's tastes with jokes likely to offend conservative viewers. Just like comedy skits from these types of TV shows, some of the jokes succeed resulting in uproarious laughter while others produce a mere snigger or nothing at all. At close to two hours, the movie tends to overstay its welcome and could have benefited from a 15-20 minute edit to eliminate the jokes that didn't work. The titular sisters are Maura (Amy Poehler) and Kate (Tina Fey). Both Ellis women are experiencing setbacks in their lives. Maura is coming off a divorce while Kate simply refuses to grow up even though she is the mother of a teenage daughter (Madison Davenport). They don't need any more complications but another one arises when the Ellis' parents (James Brolin and Dianne Weist) Skype Maura to inform her that they intend to sell the family home. Maura's job is to entice Kate to return home and together, they must clean out their bedroom which has remain untouched since they moved out of home. When they discover that their home has already been sold and their parents are now staying in a retirement home, they plan a farewell party at their family home before they must vacate the premises. There's nothing subtle about this comedy here, mainly vulgarity of the highest order. Since this viewer doesn't mind adult comedies, there wasn't anything offensive although it's easy to see why many people wouldn't like this movie. Dirty jokes aside, the story does have something to say about the family unit but luckily doesn't preach to its audience. Sisters occasionally feels like an extended sketch comedy show, albeit raunchy in nature. Jason Moore is the director and his only other directing credit is Pitch Perfect, which is tame compared to the humour in Sisters. Paula Pell is the writer who has mainly written gags for SNL so this is probably the main reason why it feels like sketch comedy at times. It might frustrate some viewers to see some overacting from several cast members to extend the life of a particular joke but that can sometimes be representative of comedy sketches. When the jokes do fire, the overstated gestures, expressions and voices actually help. Maya Rudolph is one of the actresses who fits in this category of overacting at times but when she pulls it off, she is absolutely hilarious. She plays Brinda, the childhood enemy of the Ellis girls who hasn't been invited to their party but gatecrashes it anyway. Another larger than life character is Alex (Bobby Moynihan), the nerd who runs rampant when he takes some drugs supplied by drug dealer, Pazuzu (John Cena). Watch out for Greta Lee who plays Hae- Won, the Korean beauty consultant who steals some of the laughs from her more illustrious co-stars. Poehler, Fey and Rudolph are the ex-cast members of SNL and they seem to be having a riotous time, with their antics pleasing viewers who enjoy this type of comedy. Don't take it seriously, open your mind and go along for the ride, you're bound to experience more than a few laughs and even more so if you're a fan of gutter humour

I had heard this was not a good movie but I purchased it anyway. We watched it and it was funny and had several actors and actresses that I knew. It had a good ending.

A nice comedy with some funny moments. Nothing to spectacular, but worth watching every once in a while. Especially, if one needs to a laugh or two.

The movie is hilarious but sometimes they are trying too hard. If you are into women comedians this movie is right for you.

Funny entertaining movie great add to my collection

I enjoyed this movie, Tina Fey is always funny in my humble opinion. This is worth a watch if you are a fan of hers.

This movie is hilarious and a definite must see. It’s funny. It’s cute. And it’s just an all around good watch. Love Tina fey and any poehler

Great price on some movies, others were way out of line. This will be nice 'something ward's for my sister. Then a movie night!

This movie is freakin hilarious. Definitely have to be ok with some raunchy stuff though. But it’s Amy and Tina. It’s always like that

Hey for $4 it is great :) thanks cheap movie bin! You brought a smile to my face.

If you're looking for a night with friends and laughter this movie is a good choice.

Sisters brings together a large cast of current and former SNL cast members for a surprisingly sharp comedy that finds success in its lead actresses undeniable chemistry making this coming of age story more memorable than what its simple premise would lead to believe, Many guest appearances (Bobby Moynihan, Maya Rudolph, and Kate McKinnon) adds to stellar cast and fun cameos from the likes of John Cena help to add pep into what is largely a character driven story. The laughs are witty and vulgar and driven home by "Sisters" leads and while the added attempt to place family togetherness and morality may seem a bit unnecessary, ( with some of the antics and ending being a bit of a stretch in terms of believably) it does not detract from the overall experience. The Blue ray itself is full of extra features and the included dvd and digital copy give you everything you could want. Fans of Fey and Poehler definitely should watch as well as anyone looking for a biting and raunchy good time.

I am expanding my personal online movie collection, and this was on sale and included a digital copy. It's a funny movie!

This movie was pretty good considering we got it as a Black Friday deal.

Got this on the recommendation of a friend, I'm sure it will be good.

This movie makes me laugh every time I watch it. Never get tired of it. If you want to laugh, this is your movie

I was really happy to find this DVD at such a good price. Really fun, love both Fey and Pohler.

This is a HILARIOUS movie!! I guffawed more than once! A great choice for anyone who loves to laugh!
