The 2015 comedy Sisters, starring real-life besties Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, has resurfaced as one of Netflix US’s Top 10 most-watched titles this May. It’s a welcome revival for the chaotic, wine-soaked, nostalgia-heavy ride that the film delivers. And if you’ve ever thrown a house party—especially in your thirties with something to prove—you’ll see yourself in Sisters more than you’d like to admit.
What’s even more delightful? This isn’t Tina Fey’s only moment in the Netflix spotlight. Her 2025 series The Four Seasons is also trending, proving the comedy queen’s reign is far from over.
Now, let’s pop the trunk, get into the ‘Ellis Island’ of bedroom nicknames, and count down 10 party moments from Sistersthat nailed the utter chaos of being a host.
1. The “Let’s Just Invite a Few People” Lie
Kate and Maura start with modest intentions, but one invite leads to another… then another… until it’s an open house for all of Orlando. Classic party delusion.
2. When You Clean the House for 5 Hours and It’s Wrecked in 15 Minutes
Maura has a whole labeling system for cleaning supplies and furniture zones. None of it matters once the crowd shows up with tequila and zero respect.
3. That One Friend Who Brings an Entire Crew
You know the one. They ask if they can bring “a friend” and show up with 12. In Sisters, this includes the newly liberated divorced crowd—louder, looser, and much drunker than expected.
4. When Someone Finds Your Childhood Diary and Reads It Out Loud
There’s always that moment when nostalgia turns into public humiliation. In this case? A guest finds Kate’s old diary—complete with graphic illustrations—and gives the whole room a performance.
5. The Basement Becomes a Nightclub, Unintentionally
Every house party has a surprise “main floor” that wasn’t supposed to be used. In Sisters, the basement transforms into a club complete with lights, beats, and someone inevitably falling into a stack of boxes.
6. That One Guest Who Takes ‘Make Yourself at Home’ Way Too Seriously
From clogging toilets to eating mystery fridge food, Sisters nails this through Bobby Moynihan’s character—who treats the house like a frat house, despite being, well, 40.
7. The “Cool Aunt” Trying Too Hard to Reclaim Her Youth
Kate (Fey) isn’t just throwing a party—she’s proving she’s still got it. That means crop tops, bad decisions, and hooking up with a handyman on a pile of plush toys.
8. When Your Parents Come Home Early
An eternal fear, even as an adult. The Ellis parents (Dianne Wiest and James Brolin) return to their now-destroyed home, looking like every parent ever who said, “We trust you.”
9. Trying to Contain One Disaster While Ten Others Unfold
Whether it’s Maura’s elaborate attempt to stop people from dancing on the table, or the ceiling caving in above them—this movie gets the multitasking madness of being host and damage control.
10. The Morning After: Crippling Regret and a Broken Backyard Fountain
Every great party ends with a tragic sunrise cleanup. The sisters surveying the wreckage—shoes in trees, walls missing paint—is basically every host’s nightmare made cinematic.
Sisters is loud, messy, and sometimes painfully honest—and that’s what makes it timeless. If you’ve ever hosted a party with Pinterest dreams and chaotic results, you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even take notes.
With Sisters storming back into Netflix’s Top 10 and The Four Seasons joining it, May 2025 officially belongs to Tina Fey.
