Amy Poehler and Tina Fey tear up the dance floor in the first trailer for Universal Pictures December 18 comedy “Sisters.”

The “Saturday Night Live” alums appear as siblings returning to their family home only to find their parents have sold it out from under them. A trip down memory lane while packing up their childhood mementos sparks the brilliant idea to throw the epic house party they never had.

“Pitch Perfect” director Jason Moore helms “Sisters” with a screenplay by “SNL’s” Paula Pell. Maya Rudolph, John Cena, Dianne Wiest and James Brolin are among the stars who will appear.
