Tina Fey and Amy Poehler team up again, for this 'siblings buddy flick'. The two plays sisters, that decide to throw one last big party; before their parents sell their childhood home. The film was directed by Jason Moore (who also directed 'PITCH PERFECT') and it was written by Paula Pell (a veteran 'SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE' writer). The movie costars Ike Barinholtz, Maya Rudolph, Bobby Moynihan, John Cena, John Leguizamo, Greta Lee, Madison Davenport, James Brolin and Dianne Wiest. I think the film is funny enough, to keep most viewers entertained.
Fey plays Kate Ellis; a self employed stylist, who's living with her friend, due to financial struggles. Kate's teenage daughter, Haley (Davenport), wants nothing to do with her mother; and is living elsewhere. Kate's sister, Maura (Poehler), is a divorced nurse. When Maura is informed that her parents (Brolin and Wiest) are selling their house, that her and Kate grew up in, the two sisters rush home to Orlando, to help clean out their things (and try to talk their parents out of selling their old home). The sisters decide to throw one last big party, with all their old high school friends, instead.
If you like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, you'll probably enjoy this movie. I'm a fan of theirs' but I'm not a huge fan (I like Fey more). The two can definitely be very naturalistic, in a pretty funny way; and they have great chemistry together. That talent really shows here. The film itself is a little hit-and-miss though, and it's too long (at almost two hours); but there's definitely a decent amount of laughs, to make it mostly worthwhile.
