rogerdarlington This is such a refreshingly different film - character-driven and somehow managing to be tragic and and painful and funny, all at the same time. Co-written and directed by Craig Johnson, it stars two excellent actors as the eponymous siblings: Kristen Wiig ("Bridesmaids") and Bill Hader ("Trainwreck") as Maggie and Milo, both of whom have been mixed up since children and, following a breach of ten years, resume their relationship following suicide attempts. A particularly memorable scene is when the twins mime together to "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship.

rkhen Others here have done a good job of covering this unusually-casted, surprisingly-strong movie, but for those in a hurry, here's my list of reactions: 1. Bill Hader joins Will Forte ("Nebraska") on the list of latter-day SNLers who have a real talent for sensitive, believable drama. That all by itself is worth the price of admission.2. The chemistry between Hader and Wiig is a spectacle all by itself. And kudos to the writers for scripting a remarkably realistic sibling relationship.3. Luke Wilson's role as husband/brother-in-law avoids the usual smear of white-bread, sports-bar types as dumb or annoying. Though his character is secondary, a case could be made that he's the hero of this movie. 4. Daring, divergent depiction of a teacher/student romantic relationship, probably closer to real life than the after school special clichés we're usually handed. Without endorsing their behaviour, script and actors make the characters human and fallible, rather than evil and/or abused. 5. This Duplass Brothers film has a very similar atmosphere to their "Safety Not Guaranteed". (That's a good thing.) Finally: 6. Unusual, believable ending, open-ended enough to keep us wondering, promising enough for comfort. Conclusion: see it. Bill Hader, and the Hader/Wiig dynamic, are must-love.

MovieHoliks SNL alums Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig star as twins who both cheat death coincidentally on the same day, which ends up bringing their lives closer together. I saw the title of this movie, and the stars, and just made the assumption this was some sorta wacky twins comedy- which there have been a few of in recent years-?? But this is more of a straight up serious drama. Both our stars are really good in this, and the starting out with the cheating death part really gives the movie that extra edge to get the ball rolling, which reveals more about their childhoods as the film goes on. I will admit- the movie was slow at times, but overall I'd give this a recommend, if for anything, to check out the performances of our two stars. Luke Wilson and Ty Burrell co-star.

rfrankie12 I was pleasantly surprised By this movie. The plot wasn't insanely original, yet it felt original. The best aspect was the acting performances. Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader were phenomenal leads. I knew Wiig could most likely handle the material from her work in films like Bridesmaids, but she was really she was great and Hader blew me away. I've seen them many times on SNL but they totally embodied these characters. Luke Wilson also nailed his performance. Its a dark dramedy, but it's great if you're in that kind of mood. It does have moments of lightness. The "Nothing's Gonna Stop us Now" scene was sweet and hysterical. All around touching and entertaining film. It's worth checking out.
