A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Emma Simmonds

Awkwafina and Sandra Oh prove a match made in comedy heaven in this sweet romp from director Jessica Yu. Anxious accountant Anne (Awkwafina) is reunited with her scatty older sister Jenny (Oh) after their gambling addict mother absconds from a nursing home. When Jenny sneakily films Anne excelling at answering questions that come up on her favourite TV quiz show, the video goes viral and Anne is offered the chance to appear on the show alongside her quizmaster idol (a genial Will Ferrell). The film is sharply scripted by Jen D'Angelo, who deftly balances the heart and humour of the story, and fleshes out the sisters' relationship well. The two leads are enjoyably cast against type, and there are spirited supporting turns from Tony Hale, Holland Taylor and Jason Schwartzman. A scene where Anne trips out after being drugged by Jenny is a hilarious highlight, and watching the pair repair their bond is a blast from start to finish.
