    Not a knee slapper but fun to watch

    If you like Kirstie Ally you will enjoy this movie. You wont go away any smarter than you were before, but that isn't what I watch movies for. It is about a repressed wife (Kirstie) of a doctor who is more married to his family than to her. Her irrepressible sister (Jamie Gurtz) convinces her that she should have an affair to spice up her life. When she follows that advice it sets off a chain of events that, if you have any sense of humor at all, will bring on the chuckles. I would recommend this picture to anyone wanting to fill in an hour and a half with some light and uncomplicated entertainment. 6/10 would be about right for the genre.

    Just plain fun!

    I watched this because I really like Kirstie Alley, not thinking it'd be too good. But the laughs kept coming. Just when you think things couldn't get more awkward another silly scenario comes along. Like the TV show Three's Company, but actually funny. Not a bad hour and a half, I give it 7 out of 10.

    A really fantastic comedy with so many laugh out moments!

    Regardless of the negative comments about this film I think Sibling Rivalry is a brilliant comedy. The all-star cast were fantastic and hilarious in their roles and boy was it really funny and entertaining throughout. This is a really great movie that will keep you laughing although there are some serious drama in between this is an enjoyable film. Scott Bakula is the only reason I watched this film in the first place and I thought he was just brilliant. Scott plays Harry who's from a family of doctors with Carrie Fisher as Iris she plays his sister and Harry's brother is played by Sam Elliot as Charles. Kirsty Alley is beautiful and fantastic as Marjorie she's just married to Harry and happy for a while until she grows bored and frustrated that they never make love. Unhappy and unsatisfied she meets a man in a shopping store this soon leads them both to a hotel room where she spends the night with him. After that what happens is through funny consequences and it's completely funny. The whole cast do a brilliant and are all great fun to watch. I'd give this film a try if your just looking for laughs because I certainly enjoyed this film very much.

    poorly delivers what the back seems to offer

    This movie is the worst thing one could waste their time on. I have to disagree with the people who call this film 'good entertainment' and 'funny' for my friend and I do not feel quite the same way. We too 'ran into the movie by coincidence' but we were walking around or local video store looking for a random movie rather than shopping the bargain bins at the local K-Mart. We took the movie home and watched it, but did not happen to find 'a great little funny movie.' In fact, if the video hadn't been property of the video store, my friend and I would have taken the tape out back and burned it in effigy right at the credits started to roll. This movie was that bad.

    Black Comedy gem.......

    Enjoyable on several levels, "Sibling Rivalry" is the type of black comedy that can withstand the test of time. In other words the lively script will never seem dated. The cast is uniformly excellent, and the dark subject (adultery caused death cover-up) is terrific material for this type of comedy. Bill Pullman absolutely steals the movie with a character similar to the one he played in "Ruthless People" If you enjoy dark comedy then this is a must see. Carl Reiner has come through with another winner that is perhaps under the radar, but deserves to be seen. It will definitely hold up to multiple viewings, which is only one sign of "Sibling Rivalry"'s excellence. - MERK

      Marjorie Turner: It wasn't sex. It was good!

    • Alternate versions
      In a scene only shown on cable, right before Harry tells Marjorie he thinks his brother didn't commit suicide, Nick shows up at the Turners' house and he and Marjorie talk about how guilty they feel, although it was neither person's fault. Then Marjorie explains that she doesn't want to leave her husband because she is afraid of being alone.
