Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader play two suicidal siblings and breath comedy into a movie that is otherwise very depressing. It is a refreshingly dark turn from the Bridesmaids-era Wiig. The former SNL cast mates are at their best when they are alone on screen, seemingly improvising. They feed off of each other, and sometimes they are on the verge of breaking--acceptable on SNL but usually not elsewhere, though it undeniably works with these two. The most fun scene is a straight-forward lip syncing scene to Starship's "Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now." It's simple, but Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig make it hilarious. It is best when SNL alumni team up to make comedy...could Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader be the next Amy and Tina?
