It's nice to have THIS buddy comedy. Bizarre and unique. If you don't like hyperbole, this is not your kind of humour.

Joyously silly and plays like it was made 25 years ago. Feels like a meld between the original "Austin Powers" and "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion".

Barb e Star são duas amigas, em torno dos 40 anos, que moram em uma cidade do interior. Depois de perderem os empregos, porque a loja onde trabalhavam fechou. decidem viajar de férias para a cidade de Vista Del Mar, na Flórida. Lá elas se metem em confusão, redescobrem o amor e tem que enfrentar uma vilã que quer matar a todos na cidade. Alguém poderia me dizer onde está o humor nessa dita comédia? Temos duas personagens chatas e falastronas, que pegam qualquer assunto ridículo e torna pauta importante. Para elas! Sinceridade, o papo sobre a tal da Trish no avião deveria ser considerado tortura. Esse tipo de comédia boba que os ex-participantes do Saturday Night Live tendem a fazer já deveria ter sido extinta. Enchem de participações especiais, com colegas que se dignam a fazer essa baboseira. A trama é ridícula, com uma vilã a la James Bond. Já que tinham o Jamie Dornan, porque não fizeram uma comédia de disputa entre elas pelo bonitão? Seria muito mais engraçado. Outra coisa: Jamie Dornan não leva jeito para comédia. Decididamente, deveriam ter deixado os mosquitos cumprirem o seu papel.

This movie is truly the funniest film I've seen in a long time! It's almost like a mix between Austin Powers/Police Academy/Airplane type funny. Kristen Wig and Annie Mumolo are such amazing comedic writers and performers, and Jamie Dornan is the perfectly naive and lovable henchman/love interest. I truly wanted this movie to keep going on and never end! It will lift your spirits and make you stupid laugh, especially with the musical numbers! Absolutely loved every second!!!

Us Weekly

From Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, the Oscar-nominated actresses and screenwriters who brought us Bridesmaids a decade ago, comes a goofy vibe-of-a-movie centering on two middle-aged culottes-lovin' gal pals.

It's like spending 90 minutes inside a fever dream a Kristin Wiig '80s sketch character might have if she got high inside some kind of Mars Cheese Castle/Dylan's Candy Bar co-op. And I loved it.

Book & Film Globe

Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is, like its name, highly silly. And silly is a mood that movies lately totally underuse.

Rated: 4/5

Rebecca Johnson

Film Focus Online

Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is an effective, weird and wacky comedy that features great performances, a swoon-worthy setting and memorable musical numbers that already show attributes of a cult classic.

Rated: 4/5

InSession Film

If you are looking for a deep, riveting look at society and the meaning of life, this film is not it. If you are tired of cold weather, being cooped up in the house, and need a good, hard laugh, this movie completely delivers.

Rated: C+

CNET

Barb and Star is the perfect movie for 2021 -- with its pastel-colored tropical absurdity. It's also a great escapist movie for when you're, say, stuck in lockdown...
