7.5/10
One reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes said "if we're going to have one more dumb man-child comedy, at least this one has Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in it". That's a pretty good line. Sisters is very much in the Stepbrothers/Ferrell et al. style, but it's better than simply "Stepbrothers for chicks" (granted I didn't think much of Stepbrothers). The movie is probably as raunchy as anything the "Frat Pack" have put out, and it has the old "let's put off being adults as long as possible" trope that those movies (and Bridesmaids, and any other Apatow-produced comedy in general seems to have these days) use at their core.
The chemistry between Fey and Poehler doesn't need to be stated. Poehler plays pretty much the same character she always seems to play, the slightly naïve and awkward but more mature one, but at least Fey gets to try on being more of a brassy shitshow, to more interesting results.
There are some good laughs, but at 2h07m, it definitely starts to wear out its welcome, and that's not helped by the "everybody gets a happy ending" ending that feels very rote and contrived. But it was funny, and that's all I was looking for.
