A sophisticated London professional discovers that you can't pick your family when the uncouth sister she never knew interrupts her life in an attempt to locate their long-lost father, whom the former had always assumed to be dead. Catherine St. John-Burke (Isabelle Defaut) lives alone in London's Chelsea district. She's obsessed with status, but her recent affair with a married man reveals that she's still not entirely comfortable with her own lot in life. Then there's Shirley Zachary (Emily
Corcoran), an uneducated Kiwi woman who never gives a second thought to issues of status and style. When Catherine returns home one day to find Shirley drinking beer in her living room, her first instinct is to scream for help. According to Shirley, the two polar opposites are half-sisters, and their father is still very much alive. Not only that, but in the wake of their mothers' recent deaths, he's currently attempting to make claims on both of their properties. Unconvinced, Catherine takes Shirley to get a DNA test and discovers that her half-sister is telling the truth. But how can Catherine and Shirley ever hope to find their father Jack (Nicholas Bell) when the elusive scammer is hiding out from the mob? Setting out on the trail of a mysterious figure named "Sir Crawford," the girls begin to suspect that they're on the right track and do everything in their power to get rightful ownership of their inheritance. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Equal part a tale of two vacuum cleaners and love child lunacy as in discovering a Sis from another Miss, this is gleefully cutting gender wars satire, taking outrageous pot shots at assorted male skullduggery and some preposterous female tendencies too.

It may trade with startling unoriginality in the comedy of embarrassment and plays on national stereotypes, but at least it doesn't take itself seriously - although, you suspect, it probably couldn't if it tried.
Sisterhood is one of those labours of love you feel bad knocking - you can smell the blood, sweat and tears Corcoran and Co. put into it. But it's hard to recommend as anything other than a post-pub curiosity.
