This sort of out of left field opener gives the film a perfect setup to allow the rest of the movie get away with doing a lot outside of reality scenarios, such as musical numbers, talking animals, animation, etc. The setup has a mixture of Anchorman and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me irrelevance feel that really hasn’t been seen in feature length comedies for the past three to five years. The film from the beginning set’s up itself from the opening cue card definition of Culottes to cut to on opening scene of a paperboy lip synching to an adult contemporary song as he eventually rides to a field with a secret layer for an ominous villain (played by Wiig). Bar and Star is an automatic cult classic in the same vein as Anchorman, Happy Gilmore, Mean Girls, Ghostbusters are cult films. It is a real tragedy the film did not get a wide theatrical release.
BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR FOR FREE
Sadly, Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar never got to see the big screen as it eventually went to VOD platform (I forget who got the rights to charge 19.99 to rent it first) and eventually became available to watch for free on Hulu. It was all set to be one of those big summer time films, the marketing material was on point, Wiig would have been a household name at that point after playing the villainous character Cheetah, in Wonder Woman 1984. The film stars Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo. One film that was slated for to 2020 was Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar.
2020, what, well you already know all to well.
