If this movie is not starring Shi Xiaofang and Aunt Wei, I’m afraid it will have several levels of depression.
And it is with such a pair of comedians that a good hand is played.
Before discussing this novel family drama, we can take a look at the four core actors in the film:
Bill Harder from the famous longevity comedy show "Saturday Night Live SNL", with amazing comedy talent. The imitating ability is even better, the performance desire is full, and the power is full. In fact, SNL has been continuously making stars. The famous Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and the rookie third cousin Andy Samberg, and Jason Sudekis of "Bad Boss" and "Fake Family", Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers in the talk show circle are good examples. And Bill Harder, who has just left the group, does not currently have a good representative film, if the two "Gourmets from Heaven" are excluded. So the film's personal meaning to him must be more important.
Look at the blamed aunt Christine Wig. Also from SNL, compared with the intellect of Tina Fei and Amy Poller, blame the aunt's indiscreet nerve knife is unique. The first two have their own independent TV comedies, and they have been involved in the film circle very early. And it is the 11-year-old "Bridesmaids" that really made the blame for the auntie. The image of the young woman with the problem of older age is almost captured. This time in "Crash Brothers and Brothers", it is basically an upgraded version of the same type.
Luke Wilson plays the role of aunt's husband. He and my brother are both good friends of Vis Anderson, but the image of this man is more in line with the old good man model in the traditional concept. From the performance of the work, he is good at light comedy, and the lower limit is higher than that of his brother. This film It's quite a hit; Tablier is from "Modern Family" and won two Emmy Awards for best male match. In this film, starred in a controversial role, although not very brilliant, but it can be considered as a completion of the task.
The selection of so many actors with rich experience in comedy plays an important role in neutralizing the depressive atmosphere of the film. The fierce chemical reaction is the inevitable result of many years of cooperation and understanding, and it is undoubtedly full of charm.
Trivia: The position of the heroine has also considered the star's wife Anna Faris... I can’t imagine how the happy and natural eldest sister Anna can be so cold...

The scripts of SNL's big stars, the directors Craig Johnson and Mark Hyman, have considerable potential. Although the photography is exquisite but lacks highlights, and the editing is lackluster, in general, the director has completed the task above the standard. . But as mentioned earlier, the biggest advantage of "Crash Sisters and Brothers" lies in its performance.
The depressed mood of this film runs from beginning to end, starting with suicide and ending with suicide. What is even more suspenseful is that it starts with love and ends with love. We’ve seen this way too many times. Scarred people stumble and stumble in a life full of obstacles, and what each movie shows is just another scene, another group of people, It's just another messy life. But what is commendable is that under the extremely excellent performance and control, the film has demonstrated impressive theatrical expressiveness. It can be seen that the structure of the film is actually a bit loose, but this provides a good improvisation space for the two leading actors, and they are also the leaders. These insights have made the relationship between the characters go farther without knowing it, and have also established a deeper bond. To be honest, it is difficult to make the audience smile in the deepest pain in the same movie, while at the same time, it still maintains a considerable degree of entertainment and even close to life credibility. "Crash Sisters and Brothers" did it, but without the perfect interpretation of the two leading actors, the difficulty of achieving this goal will definitely increase significantly.
In short, it is a wonderful balance between comedy and drama.
Fun and sadness coexist, intelligence and beauty are intertwined.
And what this balance brings is the sense of life itself.
Life is based on each person's own life, but also on the lives of people. Yes, life is difficult, facing myself and others countless times, facing unbearable pain and mistakes.
But live up to this time of life, and live hard, and the world becomes better because of this.
Undoubtedly, the problems involved in this film are quite heavy: the suicide plot of the two generations, the breakdown of the parent-child relationship, the infidelity outside marriage, homosexuality, and even child sex. But under the ingenious handling, these tortures of life seem to be so precious. Indeed, these problems are painful. But it is these pains that define who we are and how we should go.
And this also makes us realize that a painful life can also be an interesting life.
Yes, if there is a movie about suicide that can be defined as funny, then this movie has been successful.
