Movie review - "Sisters" (2015) ****

Gen X women do Project X and the result is one of the funniest comedies in a long time, full of laugh out loud moments. We're going through a golden age of raunchy comedy at the moment with this, Bridesmaids, Trainwreck, etc. The plot is very simple but effective, touching on basic emotions like family, fear of aging, second chances, worries about parenting and so on.

Tina Fey is very effective cast against type as a sort of rock chick. Amy Poehler is fantastic and they have terrific chemistry, the match of Hope and Crosby. Like in a lot of the best comedies, the support cast is extremely strong, down to the smallest roles.
