Critics Consensus

Quiz Lady's perfectly matched leads help Jessica Yu's occasionally uneven comedy overcome its periodic wobbles and land on the right side of hilarious and heartfelt.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It was really sweet but slight. A nice, pleasant diversion.

Sydney Morning Herald

There’s a smart casting twist to this modestly enjoyable comedy about a pair of mismatched sisters thrown back together.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

This slapstick light entertainment works because of the zingers in the script and the fine performances of all of the well-cast actors.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Review Geek

A sweet, but not too cloying, story about the bonds of sisterhood and the importance of having someone believe in you–especially if that someone is Sandra Oh.

I didn’t expect to be moved by a silly movie like this one, but sometimes pure talent wins out.

It's a good rule of thumb to watch Sandra Oh in everything.

Not very substantial and seemed like it was trying to be funnier than it was. Awkwafina was good.

Annie e Jenny são irmãs, mas bem diferentes. Enquanto Annie deseja levar uma vida sossegada, sem chamar a atenção de ninguém, Jennie é totalmente expansiva e se joga nas coisas que faz. Tudo começa a mudar, quando a mãe das duas foge do asilo que estava e deixa uma dívida de jogo de 80 mil dólares. Para resolver a questão, a única solução que encontram é participar do programa de televisão que Annie é fã. O filme, ao mesmo tempo, que é uma série de clichês, ele também aposta em algo inusitado. O primeiro ponto é a dupla de atrizes Sandra Oh e Awkafina que interpretam personagens bem diferentes do que estamos acostumadas a vê-las. Outro ponto interessante é termos um Will Ferrell, em uma interpretação bem mais contida. O elenco em geral é muito bom e garantem a diversão do filme. Mas o problema seja que a é uma comédia que joga em um esquema já batido e conhecido do público. Mas Oh e Awkafina garantem o bom humor do filme.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
