Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is a 2021 comedy directed by Josh Greenbaum and written by Kristen Wiig & Annie Mumolo, who star in the film as well. It is also the duo's first project together since 2011's Bridesmaids.The story follows Midwestern best friends Barb (Mumolo) and Star (Wiig) who are left feeling vulnerable after getting fired from their dream job at a furniture store and being ostracized from their friend group. Deciding they need to shake things up for themselves, they book a vacation to the beachside town of Vista Del Mar, Florida, where they inadvertently involve themselves in a sinister plot by Sharon Gordon Fisherman (also Wiig), a nefarious super-villainess seeking to obliterate that very same town.Rounding out the cast are Jamie Dornan as Sharon's lovesick henchman Edgar, and Damon Wayans Jr. as hapless spy Darlie. Reyn Doi, Vanessa Bayer, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Michael Hitchcock, Fortune Feimster, Phyllis Smith, and Rose Abdoo also appear in minor roles.Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar was originally scheduled to be released in Summer 2020, but the COVID-19 Pandemic obviously changed those plans and it was taken off the schedule indefinitely. It was finally released to PVOD by Lionsgate in February 2021. | |

Age-Gap Romance | |

Age-Gap Romance: Downplayed in that Kristen Wiig and Jamie Dornan are only nine years apart in real life, but visually, Star (who is said to be in her forties) reads as much older than Edgar, mostly because of her dowdy Midwestern styling. | |

Wimp Fight | |

Wimp Fight: Edgar and Darlie fight at the climax, but it amounts to them rolling over each other across the beach, with neither of them actually doing any kind of harm to the other. When they stop after getting tired, Darlie claims he's 'giving him a break'. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Exaggerated with Sharon's extremely tragic childhood. Not only was she bullied for her pale skin, her only friend was eaten by an alligator, and when she was older, her bullies pushed her into a cannon during the Vista del Mar festival and shot her out at deathly speeds, prompting her father to eventually have a heart attack and her mother to leave her to live in Palm Springs. As a result, Sharon wants to kill everybody in Vista del Mar due to the pain she associates with the town. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Sharon's motivation for villainy stems from this. Her family moved to Vista Del Mar when she was a child, and faced bullying over her skin condition. The only friend she made was killed in a freak accident, and then she was subject to public humiliation during a yearly beauty pageant. Edgar's tough upbringing is played for laughs, with Barb and Star barely paying him any attention as he rattles on about his origin story and what led him to working as Sharon's henchman as they try to break out of their bound ties. | |
