This weekend, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler open in a new comedy called Sisters directed by Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect, Avenue Q).
If that’s not reason enough, here are 12 reasons we’re going to see that instead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
1. We got tickets!
2. Tina and Amy are hilarious together. Remember Baby Mama?
3. In Sisters, Tina gets to plays the broke-down slut, ummhmm.
4. Amy explores her repressed side.
5. The movie takes place in the sisters’ Florida childhood home. When parents Dianne Wiest and James Brolin decide to sell, Tina and Amy go nuts and want revenge.
6. There’s a huge party.
7. There are tequila shots, dancing and an anal insertion.
8. SNL buddy Bobby Moynihan does one or more of those things.
9. Sisters passes the Bechdel test, which asks whether a work of fiction features at least two women who talk to each other about something besides a man. Plus, there’s this guy.
10. And Olivia Newton-John references.
11. Amy and Tina host SNL this weekend.
SNL writer Paula Pell wrote the movie now starring her longtime friends.
12. And the final reason we’re going to see Sisters this weekend instead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Why not both? 😛
Glücklich
@Garrett Kam:
Yep. Steer clear of anything that’s been hyped to death like the damned Star Wars BS. Not my thing at all.

I don’t even care if the movie ends up being mediocre. I would watch Tina and Amy read the phone book.
Matt Sirvent
I’m gunna see both
Sean Brennan
That is my plan as well! Sisters tonight!

notes, “seeing this before the Force Awakens is lame, just like the dribble oozing out of Leon Talley’s fat ass.”

I’m seeing both. First world problem solved.

I can’t see anything homosexual male-friendly about Sisters. I don’t consider Tina or Amy to be homosexual male-friendly. The movie just looks like a cheap cousin of Sex and the City.
These women need to do something a bit more interesting than showing their cleavage to draw attention to themselves. It’s been done before, sisters – you’re boring.

See both!

@Brian: Nobody really cares what your delusional self thinks. Not everyone is stuck in a 1950s time warp, smeds.

Here we go with gay men supporting Tina Fey yet again when she constantly stereotypes us and is A-OK with Tracy Morgan’s homophobia… making her own much more obvious.

What has Tina Fey ever done for male homosexual rights? Name me one thing. I can’t think of even one thing, frankly.
Women like Tina do NOT deserve the praise of the gay male community if they’re not prepared to support us on issues like anti-discrimination legislation. And when I say support, I don’t mean tweets.

@Brian: The Force certainly won’t be with their movie this weekend.
