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. Dec 28, 2021 Full Review Heather Hogan 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. Mar 6, 2021 Full Review Sara Stewart 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 Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Michael Carvelli Loud and Clear Reviews Told with an endless amount of charm and nonsensical silliness, Barb & Star couldn’t have been released at a better time of the year, and will be a fun and entertaining at-home watch. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 11, 2025 Full Review Tania Hussain popculture. Unapologetically sweet and candied with breezy comedic swings that land flawlessly, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar is a bright and spirited, absurdist adventure that will have you finding your shimmer during this fun, laughable getaway. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film Depending on personal opinions and expectations of comedy, you may either find this to be a fantastically extravagant film or find it to be too over the top.

NASHVILLE I It's so bad and unfunny, it doesn't feel like a real movie at all. Some parts are fun, but the "jokes" are God awful. To be honest, they're so bad it's like they're not even jokes...it's insane dialogue that I think the writers thought were jokes, but it's just cringey. The first scene doesnt go with the movie at all. I thought Hulu made a mistake when this bomb plot kicked in...and then you realize that's going to be half of the whole movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Nunya B I've never been compelled to create an account and write a review of any movie until now. This is horrendous. Excruciating. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Chaza C 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Anna P Truly original. Such an amazing cast. It's nice to see Jaime Dornan be silly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Audience Member A hilarious hidden gem! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Georgan G Terrific silly comedy with both female leads not the only great characters. Hard to find great comedies, so love it. Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are brillant writers and hiliarious. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
