3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar’: 1. I didn’t want it to end. 2. Part _Austin Powers_. Part _Romy and Michele_. Pure sunshine. 3. It was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous — but somehow, some way, it worked so well. Loads of humor and heart. The perfect tonic after the past year. It makes me miss going to the movies even more. Bonus Thought: I cannot WAIT to go on vacation again.

Serotonin levels are going through the roof. Completely wacky and out there but it’s something the world really needs right now and somehow it just.. works? It keeps you invested throughout despite the crazy story it’s got going on. This would’ve been amazing to see at the cinema but I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait another goodness knows how long to finally see it. Finally, 3 words. Jamie. Dornan. Seagulls. This scene alone is worth the rental price. Do it if only to see that part, you won’t regret it

A really nice movie where you don’t need to think and there is no mention of covid

It's a great movie if you give it a chance, don't be a moron, it's a great movie.

“I don't really know more than what I've already said. And some of what I said I'm not even sure I actually know.” I’m still so sad this never got a theatrical run. Barb and Star is my go-to ‘feel good and laugh’ film and seeing it with an audience would’ve been amazing given how much I’ve laughed watching it on my own. It keeps holding up for me through every rewatch. The humour is ridiculous and weird but grounded by the incredible heart in the friendship between Barb and Star. Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo keep the emotional truth between their characters so consistent and so wholeheartedly commit to the charmingly bizarre tangents that I trust them every moment of this film and am rewarded with hilarity and heart. I love Jamie Doornam flexing muscles we don’t often get to see him use and he fits seamlessly in Wiig and Mumolo’s world. And all the smaller roles add to the fun and and colour with Reyn Doi as a special shout-out. Barb and Star is a litmus test film for me now. If someone lets themselves get taken on this journey and appreciates the combination of silliness, love, and friendship, it’s a good sign we’ll get along.
