Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar

POSITIVES…

  • Two and a half minutes into this movie, and I'm already thinking "what the hell am I watching? This is not what I expected." Nice. 

  • Right from that beginning, it has an energetically infectiously daffy tone that carries throughout the whole story. 

  • There's an unpredictability to the narrative that I completely appreciated. 

  • The humor is on point! From tongue in cheek fun, to laugh out loud hilarity. 

  • Tons of absurd silliness, cartoony nonsense, and ridiculous stupidity. 

  • Wacky bizarre weird imagery and visual gags galore. 

  • Quick steady pacing that's like watching sketch comedy skits back to back to back. 

  • Dialogue is top notch for this kind of movie. Kudos to the screenwriting over all. 

  • Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are absolutely fabulously fantastic! 

  • Gotta give Jamie Dornan credit here. He's really pushing himself, but he knows what kind of movie he is in, and makes it work! 

  • Reyn Doi as Yoyo. 

  • "Edgar’s Prayer." 

  • Richard Cheese. 

  • A flashback sequence that I'm pretty sure is unlike anything I've ever seen. 

  • Love. Friendship. Adventure. 

  • Culottes are women's trousers, usually calf length, cut full to resemble a skirt. Typically worn by women in their middle age years.

NEGATIVES…

  • It's a bunch of silliness, nonsense, and stupidity. I won't blame you if this movie isn't for you. 

  • If you think Jamie Dornan was out of his league here, well I wouldn't blame you there too. 

  • Comedy is subjective, so there's that as well. 

  • There’s a story arc that isn’t exactly original.

  • It can be argued that it loses its momentum at a certain point. 

  • "Darlie Bunkle." Probably the only joke that I didn't think was that funny.
