The following Blu-rays and DVDs are being released on Tuesday, March 15: Sisters: Unrated (Blu-ray + DVD + Ultraviolet) Details: 2015, Universal Studios Home Entertainment Rated: Not rated and R, sexual content, language, drug use The lowdown: The chemistry between Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler overcome many of the shortcomings of this low-brow comedy. The movie may be too long, and some plot elements are predictable, but, when the two are on screen, those drawbacks simply evaporate because you are having such a good time watching them interact. Fey and Poehler play Kate and Maura Ellis, middle-aged sisters. In what could be considered a switch in casting, Fey’s Kate is the wild, irresponsible big sister, while Poehler’s Maura is the responsible, levelheaded younger sibling. The movie is a throwback, old-school, raunchy and profane comedy, featuring gross-out, vulgar situations and formulaic party animal antics. Despite some jokes falling flat, “Sisters” is nearly nonstop laughter that makes you hope for more pairings of Fey and Poehler, and perhaps a stronger script that could really take advantage of their comic personalities. The set features the theatrical and extended unrated versions of the film.
