Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar

"It's hard to deny that "Barb and Star" plays like an infectious inside joke."

"An unapologetically delirious frolic..."

"It's so winningly ebullient and weird that it can pull in anybody with its cheery Midwestern looniness and make them into an instant convert."

"It's a film obviously acutely aware of its own deranged silliness, unashamedly transplanting kids movie plotting to a film aimed at adults..."

"The film nicely sends up spy capers, Broadway and buddy movies..."

"Come for Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo delivering laughs and a story about friendship, but stay for Jamie Dornan singing a sad love song to the seagulls."

"As bright and breezy as a pair of pastel culottes."

"Barb and Star commits to its deep silliness so sweetly and completely that you can't help falling a little bit in love with them too."

"Wacky, tacky and weirdly delightful."

"Comedy being what it is, your mileage may vary, but for me the pure candy-colored exuberant silliness of Barb and Star didn't just make me laugh. It provided solace, too."
