Barb (Annie Mumolo) and Star (Kristen Wiig) are middle-aged best friends. Their small town lives are thrown upside down when their work shuts down. They try to get back their shimmer by vacationing in Vista Del Mar, Florida. The ladies encounter hunky Edgar Pagét (Jamie Dornan) and have a wild night. Unbeknownst to them, he's on a deadly mission from evil supervillain Sharon Gordon Fisherman (Kristen Wiig).
The supervillain part threw me off at first. I assumed it to be a movie with a movie. It's probably a step too wacky. It seems to me that Barb and Star would be funnier as fish out of water in this world. They should be the wackiest part and the movie world would react to them. Instead, everyone is wacky. I do really love hilarity of the threesome including the song and dance. That's the crux of this movie. I like Barb, Star, and Edgar. The rest may be too wacky like loud music that drowns out a good song. There is still some good fun to be had.
