Trailer
So my rating may seem extremely harsh, but I really did not enjoy this film. I was definitely ready for a comedy this morning when I went into the cinema, I love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, also directed by Pitch Perfect's Jason Moore. But this film fell completely flat for me. I love the comedy genre and I'm pretty easy to please normally, but I think I laughed two times in this whole movie... Of course everyone has a different sense of humour, so one person may find this film hilarious whereas another might not even crack a smile. If you really want to see this film, then don't be put off by my review because obviously this is just my opinion, you might absolutely love it, but this is what I thought of the movie.
This film is about two sisters who, after finding out that their parents are selling their childhood home, come back to pack up their old bedrooms and throw one last party to re-live their glory days.
If you strip back this film a little, you can tell what it was trying to do, I would say that it has heart. But for me, I just felt nothing for these characters... When things went wrong I wasn't sad for them and normally thats not something that I have a problem with in films.
The kind of comedy in Sisters was too forced for me, I found that the parts that I tended to laugh at were the Amy Poehler scenes. Other than that, I just really did not find this film funny, which is kind of a let down for a comedy. The type of humor portrayed in this movie is not for everyone, and it just wasn't for me. There were random people in this film who I feel like were supposed to be main characters, but I just thought that they didn't need to be there. They were definitely put in for comedic value instead of adding to the story, but because I didn't find them funny they felt unnecessary.
The end of this film had a different vibe to the rest of the movie and I found that this was the part that I enjoyed the most. But it was probably 2 or 3 minutes of a 2 hour film and I found myself wishing that the whole film had the same vibe as this part.
The plot wasn't riveting to me, it felt like lots of random scenes were just stuck together and there were quite a few plot lines which were just left hanging and unresolved.
So I guess this just was not my kind of film, I didn't find it funny and I found it lacking in the way of direction and plot, but if you have plans to see it then I hope you enjoy it more than I did! I can see lots of people liking this film because at the end of the day its a fun film, but just not for me.
I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you again tomorrow for the LAST day of Blogmas 2015...
