Sing Sister Sing: Apartment living was never this stressful

Is it worth your time?

If you like old-school slapstick and don't mind when the plot is basically just a thin excuse for two people to get annoyed at each other, sure. It’s a short watch. If you need a heavy, complex story, you’re gonna be bored within five minutes. 🙄

Patsy Kelly and Thelma Todd have this weird, sharp energy together. You can tell they’re trying to make the most of a script that feels like it was scribbled on a napkin. The premise is simple: move in, fight over space, realize your roommate is a sleepwalker.

The bathroom scene is… well, it’s a tight fit. Watching them try to navigate a space meant for one person is genuinely funny because they look so cramped. It reminded me a bit of the frantic pacing in 45 Minutes from Hollywood where everyone is just kind of bumping into the furniture.

The sleepwalking thing

The whole sleepwalking plot point arrives pretty late in the game. It’s weirdly handled. One minute they’re bickering about dresses, and then suddenly someone is wandering around the house like a ghost. It’s not meant to be scary, obviously, but it adds this odd, jerky rhythm to the end of the film.

There’s a moment where Thelma just… starts walking. And Patsy just stares. The way the camera stays on them feels like it’s waiting for a punchline that doesn’t quite land right. It’s awkward, but I kind of liked it.

• Patsy’s face when she realizes there is literally no room for her shoes.
• The sound design is basically just doors slamming and people yelling.
• Why are there so many rugs for people to trip over?

It’s not a masterpiece. It’s just a snapshot of two people trying to be funny in a small apartment. Sometimes, that’s enough. It’s not trying to be The Shadow of a Doubt, so don't go in expecting anything high-stakes or deep. Just expect some shouting and a lot of confused faces. 🏠
