Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader are garnering critical acclaim for their performances in this weekend’s Roadside Attractions release, “The Skeleton Twins.”

The former “Saturday Night Live” co-stars play a set of twins trying to settle their differences, as well as their own personal problems, after a decade apart. Ty Burrell, Luke Wilson and Boyd Holbrook also have roles in co-writer and director Craig Johnson’s comedic drama, which is currently sitting pretty on Rotten Tomatoes with an 86 percent approval rating from a total of 37 critics.

TheWrap‘s chief film critic Alonso Duralde was an early fan of Wiig and Hader’s chemistry when “The Skeleton Twins” premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.
