Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader Reunite as Siblings in The Skeleton Twins
LatestIn the film, Wiig and Hader play estranged twins who are reunited by near-tragedy after decade apart . Hader’s character is a failed actor and Wiig’s is a dental hygienist who is trying to have a baby with her husband (Luke Wilson), but, at the same time, is not fully content in her relationship and where her future seems to be headed.
Based on the trailer, The Skeleton Twins looks sweet, funny, sad and maybe worth seeing based on the “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” lip sync alone.
