BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR
The dynamic duo of Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo (Oscar® nominees in 2012 for their BRIDESMAIDS screenplay) wrote and star in this wacky adventure, perhaps the best comedy of the past year. Mumolo and Wiig play besties Barb and Star, native Nebraskans who pack their culottes and head for sunny Vista del Mar, Florida, on their first-ever trip away from their small town. Upon arrival, they both fall for the dreamy Edgar (Jamie Dornan, whose scene-stealing performance includes a memorable beachside love ballad) and uncover a deadly plot involving a swarm of killer mosquitos. Wiig and Mumolo have crafted hilariously memorable characters, with every line of this instant cult classic heightened by their middle-aged, midwestern twang. DIR Josh Greenbaum; SCR/PROD Annie Mumolo, Kristen Wiig; PROD Jessica Elbaum, Will Ferrell, Margot Hand, Adam McKay. U.S., 2021, color, 107 min. RATED PG-13
