With Saturday Night Live stars scattered throughout, dynamic comedy duo Amy Poehler and Tina Fey appeared in the box office yet again with their new movie Sisters, which ranked #3 during its opening weekend. While it had potential to be an unforgettable comedy, the crude and vulgar humor was tired, played out, and expected from the two.

The movie followed the lives of two sisters who, in the midst of their parents selling their childhood home, decide to go back and throw one last party. The backstory was poorly framed and nothing unexpected.

Littered with both ex and current SNL cast members Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Kate McKinnon, Bobby Moynihan, and Chris Parnell, the promising comedy still managed to fall flat. It was reminiscent of everything Fey and Poehler have ever done before: raunchy, but predictable.

While there were parts of the movie that were definitely hilarious, it became monotonous in between the big jokes and smaller laughs were rare. In some instances, listening to the laughs of the other people in the theater was more entertaining than the movie itself.

“I think that Tina [Fey] and I are chosen sisters,” Poehler said in an interview with Popsugar. But while their on screen chemistry certainly wasn’t lacking, their acting couldn’t save the sinking ship that was the screenwriting. With such a talented and revered cast, I couldn’t help but feel like something could have been done better.

“She has a very toned joke-writing muscle,” Tina Fey said of screenwriter Paula Pell in an interview with NPR. While this was apparent in some cases, it was more than masked in others. The effort was there, it just didn’t play out to its full potential.

It was a good movie to watch for those who had nothing better to do, but certainly nothing to go out of the way to see.
