The Skeleton Twins (2014)

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

'The Skeleton Twins' certainly sounds ominous and depressing from the title and the fact that both siblings, Milo (Hader) & Maggie (Wiig) try to commit suicide within the first 10min of the film - but it's actually not too bleak and has a lot of funny moments throughout.There's definitely some heavy issues the twins discuss/contemplate - cheating, death of a parent, unsupportive other parent, job/money issues - but once they reconnect, they bounce off each other in a very enjoyable-to-watch way, particularly the miming of the Starship song. Quite a few witty remarks throughout and it's not too long at less than 100min.Wilson is good as the too-caring/energetic husband of Maggie's and Burrell is OK as the forbidden ex-boyfriend of Milo's, but it really is the two leads that carry the film and make you invest in them and their decisions. The ending is ultimately uplifting and appropriate.

Lovely movie!How come I hardly heard of this movie? It is now 2017 and I just now 'discovered' this film. It is a beautiful movie with real, honest heartfelt characters. Hilarious funny at times, emotionally funny many more times and emotionally serious in between. But it never gets too heavy. The humour makes we can dive into some heavy topics without us all going really down with it. You start to feel for all the characters: beautiful, honest three dimensional people. Some reviewer was nagging about too heavy symbolism. It is not too heavy. It is present but you can ignore it totally if you want. A beautiful, well crafted, well acted, well directed, well edited and with some nice cool music. Loved the scene were the two main characters playback 'Nothing's gonna stop us now' by Starship. We all have been young, we all have secrets, we all become adults we all live our lives amidst relationships. This movie tells this story with lots of love, emotional intelligence and integrity. And lots of humour. A movie you can re-watch every so time. Goes into my favourite list.

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.

Well done to the Saturday Night Livers Kirsten Wigg and Bill Hader, they were brilliant. I say it was hard for both to actually be serious because they have been in so much comedy shows and movie's.I found it sad that the twins were apart for 10 long years and Maggie's marriage fell apart. I was so gutted for her. Also the fact she accidentally forgot about the fish and they were left for dead, it was even more heartbreaking! I suggest people who love fish, don't watch this movie!I felt so sorry for Bill Hader's character for not having luck to find true love. He was better off without that married man because really, he didn't want to get involved with him ever again.At least, the twins have each other and who knows what will be around the corner for them!
