This movie has chemistry and pulls you in from the start. It's a soundtrack that I would love to have. I'm not sure who reads the synopsis of this and then comes out guns-blazing with poor reviews. If you like the actors, you'll like this…

If you go into thinking this is going to be funny because of Wiig and Hader you will not like it. It was quite depressing with very few funny spots.

The ending, according to one critic: 'It’s a resolution that mirrors the random journey of characters merely struggling to exist in a world that remains unfamiliar and daunting'. If there is anything to that, it might offer some basis for…

Well, the farting scene was funny. Maybe the two of them should have ended it so we wouldn't have to watch it.

If you're thinking about watching this movie because you saw Bill Hader play Richie Tozier in IT Chapter 2 (2019) and then went on wikipedia to look up every single movie he's been in to watch them all... then you're gonna like this one.…

Interesting movie, a bit on the down side with main characters considering and attempting suicide. But the scene with Bill Hader dancing to the Starship tune "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" was really amazing. It revealed the emotional…

Eventually I broke down and figured Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig had to make for a decent flick. I was right. Watchable, decent. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe a bit better than that. Interesting moments, fun story, but just slightly…

Total crap! Don't waste your time!

We both enjoyed this one, which surprised me because you'd think since each of the twins is sometimes suicidal, the subject matter is a little bleak. But there are also some very funny bits which lightened the bleakness a little, and I…

I should have read thecomments before taking this movie home. The cover of the dvd seems to indicate a comedy but it is definitely not! Seriously depressed siblings who continually make poor life choices. The comedic parts, well especially…

Depressing, and not in an interesting or entertaining way, just depressing.

I enjoyed this movie, but many people will not. Expect a drama with some funny moments rather than a straightforward comedy. Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader are very believable as estranged twins with a lot of issues. I liked their…

Depressing family with congenital suicidosis. Belly-button gazing galore.

THE SKELETON TWINS exceeded my expectations by a landslide. Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig are perfect together, their bottled-magic chemistry spot-on for siblings who find solace in each other. With such a natural conversational flow, I…

I liked it. A story about a couple of sibling wingnuts, like "skeletons" in the family closet. Not a true comedy, altho it has its' moments, but a rather painful acknowledgement of the dysfunction that exists in a lot of families. In fact,…

Watch this film with an open mind. The movie is not a comedy but does have funny moments. Very well made too. It covers the relationship between twins that have not seen each other for 10 years. You slowly begin to learn more about their…

I'm sorry to see so many people were expecting a comedy with these two actors, though that's understandable. The movie is brilliant! Poignant! AND funny as heck in places! (Their duet of Heart to Heart--wow!) The twins are flawed…

Very disappointing. I watched because I like both Hader and Wiig from SNL. As has been stated, this is not a comedy. It is a story about two psychologically damaged siblings, who make a lot of really bad decisions. I pulled the plug…

If you are expecting great comedy, you'll have to be patient. This is more of a drama, and a very personal and frankly plodding one. But the comedy is there, and Kristen Wiig proves again that she is an exceptional comic actor; actually,…

This film was amazing, but you have to hang around until the dentist scene. The characters finally connect with each other and the audience. I wish all brothers and sisters could bond like these two do.

Didn't make even the 20 minute mark. And I really like Hader and Wiig. Don't bother!!!

A really interesting story of adult relationships of all sorts with characters who are vulnerable, earnest and even loveable. Hader & Wiig are well cast as siblings.

The Skeleton Twins is not a comedy, even though it has some very funny moments. It's a well-acted drama which deals with the issues of guilt, alienation, depression and dysfunctional relationships in a thoughtful and provocative manner.…

This is a dark movie dealing with some serious personal issues that adults can sometimes have; nicely understated were the themes addressed. Known for their comedy, the 2 leads have a couple of funny moments, but for more of that,…

There may be a small audience for this small titled drama with lots of dialogue and the acting was not bad either, but I gave it 40 minutes and kept veering off to do other things as it kept losing my interest.
