Film Review - Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar
February 11, 2021
The comedy world was rocked in 2011 with the release of “Bridesmaids,” which delivered a major hit for screenwriters Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig. The mid-budget film managed to become a major pop culture event, but Mumolo and Wiig didn’t cash in on this success. In fact, they waited a decade before attempting another comedy. While “Bridesmaids” was wacky, it attempted to retain some heart. “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” is a straight-up farce, with writers creating a starring vehicle for themselves, portraying wacky, culotte-wearing characters experiencing the trip of a lifetime while stumbling across the end of Florida. While the cartoony ways of the feature result in a few dud scenes, “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” is good fun with some big laughs, especially when director Josh Greenbaum gets away from the bizarre plot and focuses on his leading ladies, who seem like they’re having the time of their lives with this picture.
