Jason Moore directed this Comedy. Watch Preview. Cast: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Ike Barinholtz, John Leguizamo, Dianne Wiest, John Cena, James Brolin. Rated R for crude sexual content and language throughout, and for drug use. Running time is one hour and fifty-eight minutes.
Two disconnected sisters (Fey and Poehler) are summoned home to clean out their childhood bedroom before their parents (Weist and Brolin) sell the family house. They decide to throw a party for their old school classmates before the new owners move in.
There are a lot of laughs in this, even for older adults. But this film was clearly made with a young audience (18-35) in mind, because the totally unnecessary volume of profanity is detracting for those of us who don't find massive amounts of it humorous in and of itself. Fey and Poehler are first rate comedians who are fun to watch. The rest of the basically SNL cast pale in comparison. It was interesting to see Weist and Brolin as a married couple since they're playing the same roles on the TV series Life In Pieces, which is actually funnier, at least for adults, than is this film. I watched this with a basically younger audience and they clearly liked it more than I did, as did my wife. My guess is everyone will find something to laugh about, which is fine as long as you don't mind wading through a lot of crudeness along the way.
There are outtakes that occur during the credits. Screen size is unimportant. Theatres/Times.
