Der er ikke et tørt øjeblik igennem filmen, og det skyldes hovedsageligt den gnistrende kemi mellem Mumolo og Wiig, hvis vittige motormunddialog og hjertevarme venskab er umuligt at stå for.

Wiig and Mumolo are so compulsively watchable, together and apart, they keep the whole thing bobbing in the air like a beach ball.

Barb and Star are utterly charming characters...

...Wiig and Mumolo are bawdy and brilliant as ever, their effortless chemistry bolstered by years of collaboration.

It’s a light-hearted, often joyfully demented, lark...

Wiig can be hilarious, and there are two of her here.

...the laughs come thicker and faster with every passing minute.

...Barb and Star commits to its deep silliness so sweetly and completely that you can't help falling a little bit in love with them...
