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.
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.
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!
