Featured review
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
