"Hateship, Loveship" (2014), her next theatrically released production, was based on the 2001 short story "Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage" by Alice Munro. In it, she played a woman who must move to a new town to begin work as a housekeeper for an elderly man who needs help keeping house. Critics asserted that Wiig's "vibrant performance is almost worth the price of admission—and it has to be, because "Hateship Loveship" doesn't have much else going for it", as part of a mixed overall response. In 2014, she also reprised her role in "How to Train Your Dragon 2", and starred with Bill Hader in Craig Johnson's dramedy "The Skeleton Twins", as estranged twins reuniting with the possibility of mending their relationship. "The Skeleton Twins" was an arthouse success, with the "Globe and Mail" remarking: "Johnson's unfussy direction serves as a fine showcase for the two "SNL" veterans to demonstrate how their comic shorthand plays equally well in a slightly darker register".
