Featured reviews
Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is a gleefully absurd comedy that's really fun even if the jokes don't always land. Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are terrific with perfect chemistry. Jamie Dornan is excellent and Damon Wayans Jr. is consistently really funny. Josh Greenbaum's direction is really good, it's well filmed and extremely well paced. The soundtrack is also really good and the music by Christopher Lennertz and Dara Taylor is good.
... and I absolutely LOVED it! I couldn't stop laughing! It was just what is needed with everything going on. Its fun, colorful, cheery and completely rediculous (in a good way). One of those movies you can watch again and again, good background while going things around the house. The music numbers are really well done and funny, the acting was great. It's like a toss up of those cheesy movies like Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion crossed with the even more rediculous ones like Airplane with a touch of Austin Powers type bad guys and a little bit of musical thrown in. Definitely worth a watch if you enjoy stuff like that.
Watched this with zero expectation oh boy we laughed so hard. Did NOT see that hilarious "death-defying" twist coming either. Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are amazing not a dull moment fun and feel good start till the end. Almost for the first time forever I wish they develop a sequel to this :)
This is a completely bonkers movie. To begin with I thought - it's not even that funny but somehow it's still likeable and silly and, as pretty much everyone has said, just the kind of light hearted nonsense we need right now. But by the time Jamie Dornan sings an earnest ballad of love to the seagulls, I was won over. It takes comedy cliches to an unprecedented level and is well worth a watch for anyone who needs cheering up.
Did you know
- TriviaThat's really Jamie Dornan singing, and it was his choice to tear his shirt off at the end of the song. He wasn't supposed to--on the commentary they mention the shirt wasn't designed as a tear-away--but he felt it was necessary.
- Crazy creditsThere's a short scene after the closing credits.
