My blog reviews movies as political, historical or social commentary with intentional disregard for their artistic or cinematic value. One foe of American political scientists and economists is that they ignore movies as sources to inform them on changes in American culture, view exoticism as a hallmark of "foreigness" and, at the same time, impart American values and judgment to foreign movies.

Sisters.
The movie is late about 20 years. In 2015, divorced medical nurse (Amy Poehler) is not a middle class living in a nice suburbia of Atlanta. A real estate agent (Maya Rudolf) is an office drone, not an accomplished career woman with a Mercedes. Hollywood (see my reviews of Yellow and Gone Girl) still has a strange idea of the lives of ordinary Americans.
