Kristen Wiig and Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumolo reteam in this screwy comedy about two Nebraskan friends who pack their best culottes and hit a Florida resort for midlife singles.
After setting a new gold standard for the female buddy comedy with the 2011 smash
Bridesmaids, Kristen Wiig and co-writer Annie Mumolo reunite on both sides of the camera to riff on a model popularized in the 1980s and 90s.
Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar is so indebted to fluffy pleasures like
Outrageous Fortune and
Romy and Michele s High School Reunion that you almost expect a Touchstone Pictures logo to pop up. An unapologetically delirious frolic in which lifelong friendship is tested by romance, adventure and the mass-extermination plan of an archvillain, this disarming escape to turquoise waters and a seafood buffet will be just what many folks need right now.

This month hails a new era of content on Disney+. The new ‘Star’ hub will launch on the platform on
February 23 (that’s today!), providing a space for Disney’s more mature content.
Star is set to bring nearly 450 new movies and 155 TV series to the platform, basically doubling the size of the existing content library. To compensate for this, the price of Disney+ is also going up (details on that, here). There is a workaround if you want to hold onto cheaper prices for a while, however.
