It was a nice fun little movie. Great to see Holly Hunter on the big Screen she is a wonderful actress and I thoroughly enjoyed her in this character of BARB! Brittany did a fine job. She can hold her own with the Likes of Kate Hudson, and yes Even Reese Witherspoon and Drew Barrymore. Melissa big claps for you on this story, I LOVED IT. I have read a lot of the reviews here and just want to say to anyone who hasn't seen the movie. Don't worry about wasting your money, because it's only money and life is too short and if your bored and looking for a little pick up go see this movie or if it's out on Dvd pick it up you judge for yourself. Carly Simon references were just too cool. Kathy Bates was great as the Talk Show host KIPPI.
I think Brittany gets more criticism that she should. She is a refreshing new face every movie actress and I like that about her. She is different in every role. I want to see more of her.
I think Ron Livingston was dull in this part and the "Hunky Derek" should of been casted better. But all in all "Barb and Stacy" Holly and Brittany did really well in this Little Movie. Claps to David Sussan to he was somewhat annoying but someone has to be. I give this movie a solid 8 of 10 and was suprised and laughed as people clapped in the theater at the end of it. And no they weren't clapping because it was over they were clapping a the end surprise that you get and I'm not giving it away. SO IGNORE ALL THE NEGATIVE and GO SEE IT!
