Elle (Aly Michalka) and Joy (AJ Michalka) are sisters singing duo. The movie is narrated by their stillborn middle sister Emily (Saoirse Ronan). It's their last week on Weepah Way. Their mother Lynn (Mimi Rogers) is divorced from their cheating father John (Gil Bellows). The sisters suffer from OCD. Elle is the flighty one and she's throwing a party before they set off on a concert tour. Joy still admires their father and invited him to the party. They spend their day visiting friends and sneaking into their old home to swim. Then Joy tells Elle about a scare.

This movie seems like a bunch of improvised scenes. This is hit and miss. There is incredible skills needed to do improvised dialog. The girls can really talk fast but comedy does require some timing. They almost do it sometimes but they're going too fast. Jon Heder is pretty funny in his one scene. I do like the real-life Michalka sisters who play an alternate version of themselves. They always bring good energy to their performances. This is a valiant attempt at something a little more impressive. Writer/director Stephen Ringer brings a breezy Californian feel but it ends up too rambling to maintain the tension all the way through.

I loved Aly and Aj since I was young so that's why I watched this movie. I think it's a nice little indie movie to watch on a lazy rainy day. It's a calming movie. The first time I watched it I didn't care too much for it but I watched it again and it grew on me a bit. I admire their honesty and sexual maturity from what we are used to seeing from them so if that means swearing and sexual scenes it works. It was a very vulnerable semi autobiographical movie they did that touched on family, friendships and relationships. I had a bit trouble understanding what they were saying in some scenes because it was hard to hear. I loved the song "Boy" that they played in the movie they are actually real musicians. The crying at the ending was so real and really hit me and never fails to show me how talented they are.

Cavernous sequences of trite dialogue build to Tarantinoesque levels of tension, repeatedly failing to pay off... (It didn't take long before I started praying that Kurt Russel would come shredding across the vineyard in his hotrod and mow these two idiots down).

Is that seriously a '7.7' up there? (maybe I'm going blind)

This is a movie about girls, by girls, for girls, archetyping girls, so girls who aren't quite sure what it means to be girls can finally just be girls.

The epitome of narrowing construct - feminism's worst nightmare.

Unimpressive at its best; bordering on nauseating at its worst.

Turned it off only couple minutes in because I guess they like swearing a lot very very disappointed

If I could, I would give this movie more stars. I found it to be a really wonderful and touching as well as a hilariously real movie. Indie films always have a top place in my heart and this was just one I fell in love with. From laughing to crying, this film is definitely a must see.

I've always been an Aly & AJ fan and am happy to see them in another film together. I love their sisterly chemistry on and off screen and they're amazingly talented. Their sibling relationship in the movie was adorable and witty and comical. Their performance of their song in the movie was also incredibly beautiful. I don't think there was anything I disliked. Might not be a movie for everyone, but it was definitely one of my favorites!

Chose the film on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised. Acting was good, filming good and premise very good. Especially the idea for the narrator. A snap shot into Americana via Laurel Canyon.

Having a sister, these scenes are so spot on. It's the way most sisters who are close in age talk and joke with each other, so the movie and the characters felt very real. I wasn't sure what to expect but this movie exceeded my expectations. There is no complicated story line, it's quite simple, and often times those are the best ones because it allows you to think and find out how you can relate to it. Lots of f-bombs and profanity but i like that, because it's *real* and how sisters/friends talk. Watching a movie about 20 something year olds and there is no curse words is just weird and unrealistic. Aly and AJ are so charming to watch and their chemistry is obviously incredible.

I came upon this movie on the internet while I was searching for my old neighborhood; I was intrigued by the title (street in Laurel Canyon) so I thought I'd give it a try. It was sweet and sad, real and very well written and acted. If you're looking for a great indie film, something different and/or if you've lived in L.A. during your formative years, I hope you'll watch this film and enjoy it as much as I did! Wow- 12 stars!

Watching Aly & AJ grow up before my very eyes and they constantly leave me shook and this movie is just another example of that. Easily the best movie of 2016, no other movie could ever. Saved the movie industry. My weave has been snatched. Still recovering from it. I could watch this movie on repeat and never get tired of it. Thinking of watching it right now as we speak, that's how good it is. There aren't enough ratings to rate this movie. I'd give it 1000 stars if I could. If you love yourself, watch this movie. Share it with your friends. Share it with strangers. Gift it to the entire world. Everyone will thank you for it later. Trust me. 10/10, would recommend.
