Directed by award-winning Josh Greenbaum, Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar centers around two lifelong friends Barb (Mumulo) and Star (Wiig) who decide to go on vacation to Vista Del Mar, Florida, leaving their small-town for the first-time. The film promises friendship, romance, and a villain with an evil plot.

In addition to playing the two leads, Wiig and Mumolo also co-wrote the film. The two previously co-wrote the 2011 film Bridesmaids, which won them an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
