Sisters is a comedy directed by Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect). The films stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as well as a who’s who of their comedy friends and SNL compatriots including Ike Barinholtz, John Cena, Maya Rudolph, James Brolin, Dianne Wiest, Samantha Bee, Rachel Dratch, John Leguizamo, Kate McKinnon, and Chris Parnell.

Two disconnected siblings are summoned home to clean out their childhood bedroom before their parents sell the family house. Looking to recapture their glory days, they throw one final high-school-style party for their classmates, which turns into the cathartic rager that a bunch of ground-down adults really need.

Fey was involved in the production well before taking on the role of Kate. “I’d been planning to produce this screenplay Paula wrote for a long time, not knowing if I would be in it at all. Once the script started taking shape, I said I’d love to play Kate because I never get to play characters like her: a wild child who’s trying to get on the straight and narrow. It’s like playing someone who was the world’s greatest ice skater…but is now in a wheelchair. Once I was into the role of Kate, we thought it would be fun to have Amy play the sister who’s more dutiful. Over the course of the film, Maura starts to cut loose. You get to see her finally go wild, which is, of course, what you want to see Amy do and what she’s so great at.”

Sisters is rated 14A.
