      Audience Member http://www.cbattery.net/acer-aspire-5552g.html Acer Aspire 5552G Battery Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member There are some parts where you might get a bit disturbed, depends who you are, but I didn't. This movie also has some witchcraft in it and vampires. I just got bored of sitting on my butt watching it, so I didn't get to watch the end of it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish Emily Corcoran well - it's devilishly hard to get a low-budget NZ film made and released. But if you do get one released, it pays to steer clear of the relentless cliches, feeble plot development and flat jokes that comprise Sisterhood. It's a real pity, because you want them to succeed: this isn't a bad idea and the cast seem to be a resourceful bunch. A real missed opportunity. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Mike M It might have been nice, at this moment in time, to see a female corrective to the testosterone-heavy likes of "Step Brothers" and its ilk, but "Sisterhood" is all hoary stereotypes - New Zealand is represented by rugby and sheep, the UK by thugs and randy grannies - and no set-up is considered too low or broad. Our Kiwi heroine walks in on an admirer rehearsing his marriage proposal in a barn - and she thinks he's proposing to a cow! Then when he goes to propose for real - he kneels in a cowpat! As "Harry and Paul"'s Greek interpreter of televisual affairs might put it: it is from this that the comedy arises. Given that production on the film was halted after one of the investors was revealed to be a fraudster, Corcoran and Wellings-Thomas have done well to finish their film and land it a theatrical release, but it sits hopelessly exposed on the big screen, and no-one should have to pay to see it. In fact, I think I'd rather have seen what the conman went and spent *his* money on. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/08 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Wally Hammond Time Out It may trade with startling unoriginality in the comedy of embarrassment and plays on national stereotypes, but at least it doesn't take itself seriously - although, you suspect, it probably couldn't if it tried. Rated: 1/6 Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Anna Smith Film4 Sisterhood is one of those labours of love you feel bad knocking - you can smell the blood, sweat and tears Corcoran and Co. put into it. But it's hard to recommend as anything other than a post-pub curiosity. Rated: 1/5 Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Prairie Miller NewsBlaze Equal part a tale of two vacuum cleaners and love child lunacy as in discovering a Sis from another Miss, this is gleefully cutting gender wars satire, taking outrageous pot shots at assorted male skullduggery and some preposterous female tendencies too.
