Can we just give a round of applause for Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, please? The stars of the new movie, “Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar,” also wrote it, almost 10 years after they wrote the iconic movie “Bridesmaids,” which, as you probably know, became a comedic classic and garnered the duo an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay.
Wiig and Mumolo are back, but this time, with a very different type of movie. “Bridesmaids” was very much cemented in reality and became insanely relatable to anyone who has ever planned a wedding and stood up in one. “Barb and Star,” on the other hand, is the furthest thing from being cemented in reality.
