Weepah Way for Now

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 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.

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.

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