This is called a very beautiful shot. At the end of 2015, when America is staring at Star Wars , Tina Fey and Amy Poehler come out with Sisters , a delirious joke about two sisters in their forties who are burying their youth in an explosive party.

The result will surprise everyone: after nearly 80 million dollars of receipts, the film climbs to the top of the box office. A new cardboard for this awesome duo of actresses, intractable business women and pioneers of girly humor, who accumulate records. Producing TV series critically acclaimed (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Tina, Parks and Recreation for Amy), best-selling authors sold millions of copies, Tina Frey and Amy Poehler have built a vast media empire unrivaled States -United.

A success story that was first a story of friendship. Born in the early 1970s and raised in the middle class, the two met in 1991 in Chicago improvisation classes, the epicenter of the American comedy. "Tina and Amy were brilliant young girls, with the same sense of distribution, and they never let themselves be impressed by the guys of their troupe, they were confronting them with a crazy audacity , " says Charna Halpern, their theater teacher of the time.

Soon the actresses form a comic duo, experimenting on the boards of stand-up, before being spotted by the mythical Saturday night live , where they will make themselves known thanks to cult sketches, such as their imitations Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton. Their strength is a transgressive humor, with no filter, a sense of sharp caricature that refuses all prohibitions.

"They're never censored, whether it's sex or politics, they dare to joke, and it's hilarious," said Jason Moore, the director of their latest films. On the trash humor scene, once trusted by men, Tina Frey and Amy Poehler allowed the emergence of a new generation of emancipated artists such as Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer. The success of Sisters highlights this fact: in the realm of the "lol" decomplexed and conquering, the two creators always lead the dance of the American comedy.
