I am going to say this upfront... this movie is strange. With that in mind, it is the perfect silly thing I need for a mental self-care day. Two middle-aged gals, Barb and Star, recently become laid off from their jobs at the furniture store, get kicked out of a talking club, and have no one but each other to rely on. To freshen up their lives, they decide to go to Vista Del Mar, Florida to tan and find their shimmer. Barb and Star – played by Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig respectively - are what I want to be when I grow up. They are two excellent women who are happy to be anyone’s friend, and supportive of each other in the best way. Mumolo and Wiig wrote Bridesmaids together and invented the characters of Barb and Star while on set. After ten years, I’m glad the two ladies made it to the silver screen and cannot recommend this movie enough for some silly fun.

Comment text: Nancy was a dear friend of my auntie in Reno and she would come to visit and she would invite our whole family to visit them on their farm in Fallon. Such a life she had! Thank you Nancy for spreading light.

Comment text: What about some improvements for the county cemetery. They could use some expansion, decent equipment and automated sprinkler system. Nothing has been done there in years and local residents and their deceased families deserve it! Upkeep has been great with the limited resources those caretakers have!
