Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar (15)
Directed by Josh Greenbaum
★★★
FROM the writers of Bridesmaids comes a truly bizarre comedy which celebrates female friendship, middle age and culottes — the 1970s fashion trend we all pray never comes back.
It is co-written and produced by Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig, who also play lifelong friends Barb and Star.
