The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls

Their story, as told by Pooley, also is a touching and quietly meaningful one, built around themes of tolerance, self-acceptance and unconditional love.

Befitting her subjects, director Leanne Pooley maintains a joyful tone throughout.

A documentary that has you falling in love with two of the crazier people you've never met.

The beloved Kiwi duo, who frequently perform as a rotating cast of corny alter egos, can charm even the crankiest viewers, thanks to their soaring, clarion harmonies and cuddly-butch personas.

A conventional portrait of an endearingly unconventional sister act-with roots in music halls and the dairy farm on which they were raised (and became expert yodelers)-The Topp Twins is a piece of hagiography.

An entertaining concert film, but not an incisive character study.

Their '50s-style comedy mugging not only don't come across to Americans, it's hard to believe even New Zealanders would care.
