Tina Fey and Amy Poehler continue their comic winning streak with “Sisters,” a gross-out comedy motored by girl power that’s funnier than hell. Raunchier, too.
Fey plays Kate, a single mom whose life is all about chaos. Poehler is
her recently divorced sibling Maura, who’s all about control. They have
one thing in common: Neither is content.
They reunite when their parents (the sly and dry Dianne Wiest and James
Brolin) announce they’re selling the family home in Florida.
Cleaning up their girlhood room and reading passages from their old
diaries — Kate’s entries are about doing guys, Maura’s are about doing
good deeds — they decide to throw one last giant blow-out and to switch
roles. Kate will stay sober. Maura will cut loose with James (Ike
Barinholtz), a hunky Mr. Fix-It who lives nearby.
