Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

netflow So very disappointed that these two would even put their names on this movie.

gemimah-henderson I laughed a lot and would recommend for a blah evening when you just want to veg out and have a few laughs

alindsayxo I was putting this movie off because I really like the actresses, but was afraid that movie wouldn't be good. I actually really liked it, had some laughs, and just really liked their dynamic.

sol- Dismayed to learn that their parents have decided to sell their childhood home without asking them, two sisters approaching middle age decide to throw one last party while their parents are away in this energetic comedy starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. As anyone who has watched them host the Golden Globes will know, Fey and Poehler have excellent chemistry together and they admirably make for convincing siblings here despite hardly looking alike. Outside of this undeniable talent, the film unfortunately has little going in its favour with gross-out gags and loud physical humour frequently favoured over wit and charm. The script has its heart in the right place, touching on heartfelt issues such as the inability to return to the carefree days of one's youth, however, the wild shenanigans quickly take over any messages that the film has to offer. The key question to ask oneself before watching the film is how funny it sounds to have grown women acting like teenagers half their age. There is some amusement value for sure and a twist in the final 45 minutes adds some zest as Fey's character futilely tries to stop the party, but as a film clocking in at around the two-hour mark, the material quickly wears thin with the twist coming too late in the piece. And yet, throughout thick and thin, Fey and Poehler give it their all, both having their fair share of heartfelt moments amidst the chaos. Fans of James Brolin and Dianne Wiest might also be interested in their brief turns as the sisters' parents, but of the supporting cast, it is surprisingly WWE star John Cena who steals the show.
