Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
Eccentric Celestia (Eve Plumb), Whimsellica (Lisa Ferber), and Ladybug (Lisa Hammer), THE SISTERS PLOTZ, sail obliviously and eccentrically through the reading of their father's will, freeloading hippies, scheming maids, and a plot to turn their house into a carousel. With the help of their butler, their equally eccentric uncle, and a psychic gypsy, can the sisters keep their home and find happiness?
Is It Any Good?
Strictly for fans of the web TV series who enjoy big slabs of ham slathered with cheese and lots of corn on the side. The Sisters Plotz tries for good-humored fun but plays like random webisodes strung together on a whim and a shoestring budget. If watching hammy actors purposely overworking sophomoric jokes and singing slightly off-key is your kind of humor, you'll find it in spades here. But even for the right fan in the right mood, the segments drag on too long, or are too repetitive, to sustain genuine laughs. The frequent drinking and mild sexuality make it appropriate for teens and up.
