everything you have heard about this movie is true.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

'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.

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.

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.
