Mara Reinstein

Us Weekly

From Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, the Oscar-nominated actresses and screenwriters who brought us Bridesmaids a decade ago, comes a goofy vibe-of-a-movie centering on two middle-aged culottes-lovin' gal pals.

Autostraddle

It's like spending 90 minutes inside a fever dream a Kristin Wiig '80s sketch character might have if she got high inside some kind of Mars Cheese Castle/Dylan's Candy Bar co-op. And I loved it.

Book & Film Globe

Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is, like its name, highly silly. And silly is a mood that movies lately totally underuse.

Rated: 4/5

A silly entertaining movie that alternates between really bad to very clever jokes, gags, and production values. A great Saturday night movie that is perfect from the comfort of your couch.

It's nice to have THIS buddy comedy. Bizarre and unique. If you don't like hyperbole, this is not your kind of humour.
