Amazing, Delighted and Colorful “Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar”

comedy, , , , , , , , ,
Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar

Written by Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig by the direction of Josh Greenbaum, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar is a madcap story that, hopefully, is super fun with tons of laughs.

The screenwriters of this movie also star as Barb and Star take a trip and break out of their shell. Lifelong friends Barb and Star embark on the adventure of a lifetime when they decide to leave their small Midwestern town for the first time. They experience romance, friendship, and a villain’s evil plot.

Mumolo and Wiig brought Bridesmaids to the screen, but this time with a huge cast that includes Jamie Dornan, Damon Wayans Jr., Fortune Feimster, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Rose Abdoo, Vanessa Bayer, Phyllis Smith, and Kwame Patterson

“Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” Trailers, Featurette, and Posters

based on a book, comedy, drama, , , ,

I decided to place the second poster above the first poster because it illustrates the movie better.

Co-written and directed by Richard Linklater, Where’d You Go, Bernadette? focuses on 
15-year-old Bee, played by Emma Nelson, after her stressed-out mother, played by Cate Blanchett, disappears.  Bee does everything in her power to track her down, discovering her mother’s troubled past in the process.

The movie is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming sites. It’s a fun movie to watch about family, being a mother, and coming to terms with destiny.

Holly Gent and Vince Palmo co-wrote the screenplay based on the book of the same name by Maria Semple. Linklater’s credits include writing and producing. His last well-known movie is Boyhood. 

Blanchett is a stick of dynamite, an award-winning actress, and Bernadette is another explosive role for her to play.  A talented cast surrounds her, including Judy Greer, Kristen Wiig, Laurence Fishbourne, and Billy Crudup.

The second trailer draws you in and includes how much fun the movie is to watch. Blanchett is coming from so many levels as Bernadette. It is delightful to watch. Mothers who put their careers aside for marriage and family will find companionship.

I am adding Blanchett’s soundbites concerning the movie because any mother and daughter can relate to this movie.

Watching the featurette compels me to read the book. I agree with the director. Bernadette is not crazy; the world is crazy.
