“Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” is one of the funniest and most gleefully absurd comedies I’ve seen in a long time. It is an instant comedy classic.

I want to keep things as vague as possible because part of the joy of the film is discovering it for yourself. Thankfully, for once, the film’s trailer doesn’t ruin the best jokes and surprises. If anything, the trailer under sells the movie.
