I liked it.

Sibling Rivalry is one of those typical late 80´s early 90´s movie that came along. Some people saw it in the theater and some people rented it but never came a cult hit or a box-office smash and has now been forgotten.

This does not mean that this movie is bad or movies of this sort are bad. On the contorary these films are actually quite entertaining and help you to get into good mood and this film falls into that category.

It is short, funny, exciting and has some great acting. Jamie Gertz and Kirstie Alley are great as the sisters and the supporting actors and actresses to a good job.

One of the things that bothers me is that they don´t show the cover that was used on the tape where I live where you see Kirstie Alley covering up her face with a blanket or a sheet. It is one of the all time greatest movie posters I have seen.

Trivia
This was a surprising hit in Italy, where it was released under the slightly more intriguing title of "Brief Fling with a Corpse."

Quotes
Marjorie Turner: It wasn't sex. It was good!

Alternate versions
In a scene only shown on cable, right before Harry tells Marjorie he thinks his brother didn't commit suicide, Nick shows up at the Turners' house and he and Marjorie talk about how guilty they feel, although it was neither person's fault. Then Marjorie explains that she doesn't want to leave her husband because she is afraid of being alone.
