"Sisters" The Tina Fey Amy Poehler Movie We've All Been Waiting For!

Can it really reach THE standard?

"Sisters" The Tina Fey Amy Poehler Movie We've All Been Waiting For!

As "Sisters," the all new Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler movie that has everyone on the edge of their seats waiting and talking about the preemptive success the movie will get. Even though it doesn't come out until December of 2015.

The movie has Tina Fey and Amy Poehler playing as sisters who come back to their parents old house to find out they sold it and need to clear out their belongings. It's a final attempt at their childhood goal to throw a party as the houses final sendoff. Centered around the two most iconic women in comedy, Poehler and Fey have a very high standard to live up to. But, is all this hype around their new movie too much?

Fey and Poehler have been in several entertainment spots together but have consistently played rivals or opposite characters. Sarah Palin vs Hillary Clinton on SNL, Angie and Kate from "Baby Mama," and countless skits on "SNL." They have played a team hosting the Golden Globes for 3 years in a row together, and as Weekend Update cohosts for "SNL."


But for them to play siblings in a movie, release the trailer in January for the movie to come out in December seems like a bit of overkill. No offense to Universal but if you have a movie with these two in it the movie will sell itself. People keep calling this movie "the new "Step-Brothers," the more the movie builds in praise the more afraid I am for a giant let down.


The trailer highlights certain parts of the movie that seem promising and showcases instances that Fey and Poehler show their awkward comedic sides. Even Maya Rudolph and John Cena come in for a cameo. While the cast list shows a promising and interesting film, it is very important that the writing be just as crucial to the success to this movie. There is a lot of high expectations for this film, and it seems like it should be the best of the year, comedically speaking, but you can't always bank on the most popular actors if the writing isn't good (which we are all praying it will be!!)

The man who directed this movie is the same as Pitch Perfect, and Fey is on the production team, and when Tina Fey has a contributing hand in a movie, you know it's going to be funny and filled with sexual humor, childhood nostalgia, and classic Fey and Poehler humor. The performance seems genuine from the trailer, but there's no guarantee that it will deliver as we all hope it does.

Maybe it's just me, but movies that get this much hype just haven't lived up to the standard. As much as I love the Fey and Poehler dynamic duo, there's a strange feeling that this movie won't live up to the expectations we have. But I'm sure that everyone has their own expectations for this film, lets hope they live up to some of those standards.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up.
