Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: It boils down to this: ‘Sisters’ is a Fey & Poehler picture, a comedy vehicle designed to showcase the skills and personalities of its stars, and for the most part, it succeeds. Everything else is just gravy.
- Nicholas Bell @ Ioncinema
- [New – 1/28/16] | Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This alleged comedy has exactly three laughs, and they aren’t supplied by the stars but by Jon Cena, John Leguizamo and a music box. “Sisters” feels like “Project X” for grownups who should know better.
- Blake Crane @ Film Racket
- Excerpt: Despite all the fat that could’ve been trimmed, Sisters remains enjoyable thanks to the chemistry between Fey and Poehler and their dynamic performances.
- Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: The party is standard post-”Hangover” stuff, but it keeps “Sisters” from turning into the high angst indie drama it frequently threatens to become, thank God. A few lengthy soliloquies and a plink-plunky piano score could have taken it there in a heartbeat. Best when it allows itself to be just a little mean-spirited, “Sisters” is unremarkable, and won’t lose a thing on Redbox, but at least it’s entertaining.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: It’s a movie that constantly tries to outdo its previous gag, and that process becomes more tiring than anything else.
- Kenji Fujishima @ Slant Magazine
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘Sisters’ hysterically documents the Ellis siblings’ monster house party that encourages bored parents and professionals to party like it’s 1989.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: While Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are always terrific together, this saucy comedy is silly and snarky, straining to earn its raunchy R-rating.
- Courtney Howard @ FreshFiction.tv
- Excerpt: Unlike Fey and Poehler’s original cinematic outing, this latest romp is outrageously funny when it embraces raunchcom over serious heart.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: The just-right mix of wistfulness, snark, and painful personal growth makes this nonstop hilarious, with humor that gets women in a way movies rarely do.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Just as foul-mouthed and filthy as their male counterparts, Fey and Poehler are hysterical as sisters not quite ready to let go of their past. Sisters is just as effective as any frat boy comedy and transcends most of them.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: It’s a proven fact that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make everything better, even in a passable house-party comedy like “Sisters.”
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: A smartly written, expertly performed comedy that offers laughs, big and small, from start to finish.
- Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: Talk about a trainwreck.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: The girls-just-want-to-have-fun philosophy behind this gross-out misfire proves no more appealing than the numerous examples of crass frat-boy rowdiness that have filled the screen over the past decade.
