* NeverTrustATrailer: The teaser trailer makes it look like Yoyo is casually throwing the newspaper onto the porch of Barb and Star’s house, when he actually angrily threw the newspaper (with a music cue to emphasize his anger) which had a bomb in it onto the porch of an enemy. Someone who watches the teaser and then watches the movie might think that Yoyo (and by extension, everyone in the movie) hates Barb and Star because they’re annoying before it’s revealed that it’s the house of an enemy. Granted, this was done to prevent spoiling things. The teaser trailer also makes it seem like the conversation between Barb and Star is happening in their house when it’s actually happening in the store that they work at. They do show some shots that are shots of the inside of their house, but there are some shots where it is unclear if the shots are supposed to be in their house or the place where they work, but the teaser is implying that it’s the former.

''Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar'' is a 2021 comedy directed by Josh Greenbaum and written by Creator/KristenWiig & Annie Mumolo, who star in the film as well. It is also the duo's first project together since 2011's ''Film/{{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 [[FakeTown Vista Del Mar]], UsefulNotes/{{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 Creator/JamieDornan as Sharon's lovesick henchman Edgar, and [[Creator/TheWayansFamily Damon Wayans Jr.]] as hapless spy Darlie. Reyn Doi, Creator/VanessaBayer, 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 UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic obviously changed those plans and [[ReleaseDateChange/COVID19PandemicRelatedExamples it was taken off the schedule indefinitely]]. It was finally released to PVOD by Creator/LionsGate in February 2021.

!! ''Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar'' tropes:
* AgeGapRomance: 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.
* [[BeachEpisode Beach Movie]]: Most of the film is set in a beachside resort.
* BeeAfraid: Sharon's plot hinges on a mega-swarm of engineered killer mosquitos. [[spoiler:[[HoistByTheirOwnPetard She later finds herself o the receiving end of it]]]].
* TheCameo:
** [[spoiler:Creator/AndyGarcia as Tommy Bahama]].
** [[spoiler:Music/RebaMcEntire as Trish]].
* CrowdSong/ LocationSong / WelcomingSong : The staff of the Palm Vista Hotel perform a musical number when Barb and Star arrive.
* DarkAndTroubledPast:
** Sharon's motivation for villainy stems from this. [[spoiler: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 [[spoiler:try to break out of their bound ties]].
* DictionaryOpening: A humorous example, defining the word "culottes", which are the kinds of pants Barb and Star like to wear. They become important later on.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Sharon naturally suffers from a skin condition that gives her a ghostly white appearance, which contrasts with her dark black hair.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Sharon becomes the sole victim of the mosquito swarm and only survives because she has the antidote]].
* HopelessSuitor: Sharon has no interest in Edgar, but Edgar is ''madly'' in love with Sharon.
* IWantSong: "Edgar's Prayer" is about his anguished love for Sharon.
* ItBeganWithATwistOfFate: Barb and Star's decision to go on vacation ends up saving the town of Vista Del Mar.

* ThreeWaySex: Barb, Star, and Edgar are implied to have a had a threesome in their drug-induced haze.
* RealAfterAll: [[spoiler:The mythical figure Trish, who Barb and Star basically invent on the spot while flying to Vista Del Mar, not only ends up being real, but some sort of ocean spirit as well. And she's played by Music/RebaMcEntire]].
* SurrealHumor: The comedy of the film is very much based in surrealist humor with mythical elements like [[spoiler:Trish the sea spirit]] and the plot to destroy Vista Del Mar with engineered killer mosquitos.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The original teaser poster alludes to the climactic moment when [[spoiler:Barb and Star's culottes flare up at the bottom to parachute their falls off a cliff]].
* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: Sharon's plot invokes this. [[spoiler:She wants to destroy Vista Del Mar after her traumatic childhood there]].
