Another Fey/Poehler Disappointment
Unknown - wrote on 12/23/2015
'Sisters' is the textbook definition of a mediocre comedy. It takes a standard approach to it's story and characters. We know exactly where every single scene is headed. I could predict the entire movie right from the initial introductions. The only thing that keeps interest is Fey and Poehler's immense compatibility. This relationship being propelled by their comedic talents could lead to some solid comedy. Sadly, there are no good situations to set them up for hits. With few actual jokes present, everyone is left to fill in the gaps with obvious ad-libed lines. This process is on-going through the whole movie. Even the wacky shenanigans during the (elongated) party feel restrained. It's all so tame that the R-rating is not justified. I had barely enough chuckles to consider …
