Critics Consensus

Sisters' sharp blend of pathos and vulgarity, along with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's effervescent chemistry, are more than enough to make up for the handful of laughs this coming-of-age comedy leaves on the table.

Whether or not Sisters is the best use of Fey's or Poehler's gifts is beside the point; they're entitled to blow off the same dopey steam that propels the likes of Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner in all those Fockers movies.

Pell's script, inspired in no small way by her own relationship with her own sister, is so smart, so genuine, as crazy as things might get the human saga at the center remains pure and realistically heartfelt no matter what.

Rated: 3.5/4

Is Sisters a good movie? No. No, it is not. Its plot manages to be both jarring (so many twists!) and predictable; its supporting characters are thin; it makes gleeful use of tired stereotypes.

Gets a lot of mileage out of its surefire premise...

Vague Visages

Sisters is a house party film told by and from the perspective of women, and that is precisely why it succeeds.

Deep Focus Review

Sisters is one of those comedies that ends with a series of outtakes over the end credits, and by the looks of it, the talent had more fun shooting the film than we did watching it.

Rated: 2/4

Absolute stupidity.. cringe!!!.. filth. Dumb... I guess these actors needed a mortgage payment... disgusting .. absolutely no plot . Just drugs.. sex.. filth ..dirt .. adult women trashing their parents home .. seriously... Yes this is what little kids need to see today starting puberty... I don't get it.... Well.. pretty scary with the good reviews, but at least there are some people that didn't like it...😝

White trash kind of humor. It's like written for bratty for bratty teenagers. So much cussing, it's disgusting. Tina and Amy act like two unhinged bullies.

A nivel historia y desarrollo es bastante flojita, diría que incluso mala pero a nivel humor y como entretenimiento es excelente. Y creo que eso es lo que importa en una comedia, que te divierta y te haga reír así que cumple su cometido.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Poehler, Fey, and the outstanding ensemble make it enjoyable (especially Bobby Moynihan, who has a truly great character) despite the bland plot.
