Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar
It's not every day that Hollywood produces a buddy comedy starring two middle-aged Midwestern women, much alone one as brazenly, breathtakingly ridiculous as "Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar." Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, who collaborated on the Oscar-nominated "Bridesmaids," wrote the script for this film and star as the leads — two long-time, naive, and very square best friends who, after losing their jobs, embark on an adventurous road trip to a tropical resort called Del Mar, which caters to people of a certain age.
This plot, along with the many ridiculous musical numbers and an entire airplane ride spent discussing the theoretically perfect woman named Trish, would be enough for most comedies, but to add to the madness, a supervillain (Wiig again) and her odd group of minions are plotting to destroy Del Mar as revenge for some long-ago childhood slight.
