Kristen Wiig and her Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumolo lead this comedy they wrote, playing two besties who leave their small town for the first time to go on vacation.

Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar / Reviews
Little White Lies
It's so winningly ebullient and weird that it can pull in anybody with its cheery Midwestern looniness and make them into an instant convert.

The Guardian
It's a film obviously acutely aware of its own deranged silliness, unashamedly transplanting kids movie plotting to a film aimed at adults...

Film School Rejects
Come for Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo delivering laughs and a story about friendship, but stay for Jamie Dornan singing a sad love song to the seagulls.

Barb and Star commits to its deep silliness so sweetly and completely that you can't help falling a little bit in love with them too.

Comedy being what it is, your mileage may vary, but for me the pure candy-colored exuberant silliness of Barb and Star didn't just make me laugh. It provided solace, too.
