It seems that today’s subject is going to be the first in
what I hope is a short-lived trend of older actors doing teenaged things for
the year, what with Dirty Grandpa coming to screens in a little while. I’ve
gone at length how much I really don’t
like the school of comedy that says just being offensive or violent or awkward
doesn’t automatically make a film funny; well, the same applies for mid-life
crises. Probably the only time I’ve seen a piece of media make adults acting
like teens funny was during an episode of Buffy; that was over fifteen years
ago. As a result, despite my affinity for Tina Fey, even that appreciation wasn’t
enough to make this film look good going by the trailer. Bear in mind that I
was willing to give the weaksauce This Is Where I Leave You a chance because
of Fey’s involvement; that’s how bad this looks from the off-set. Well, given
only one way to find out if my pessimism once again pays off. This is Sisters.
