“Bridesmaids” is one of the most iconic comedy films of the past decade. The raunchy comedy not only featured a breakout performance from Melissa McCarthy but also served as the launching point for Kristen Wiig’s Post-‘SNL’ career. And a large part of the credit can also be given to screenwriter, Annie Mumolo. Now, Wiig and Mumolo are combining forces yet again for another comedy, “Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar.”

I love romantic comedies. Every Christmas, my mother and I are those people who watch “Love, Actually.” And I”m not ashamed to admit I saw “He’s Just Not That Into You”and “Mamma Mia!” in theaters. Twice. This might be a surprising revelation if you’re familiar with my criticism – I care deeply about female characters and am especially skeptical of films that write them poorly (by unnecessarily raping them, or killing them, or, I don’t know, turning them into passive sex robots).

Every year, thousands of travelers take to Ibiza for a holiday of a lifetime. Between the parties, beaches, music festivals, and sunshine, Ibiza has something for everyone—in Harper’s case, it’s a man.

Harper (Gillian Jacobs) is a thirty-something New Yorker who is sent on a business trip to Barcelona. Naturally, when her two best friends Leah (Phoebe Robinson) and Nikki (Vanessa Bayer) find out, Harper’s business trip turns into a shenanigan-filled girls’ trip that ultimately leads to a romance with a DJ (Richard Madden).

Will the fact that there are three actresses in this category from “SNL” cancel each other out? Not likely. Kate McKinnon should repeat her 2016 win easily. If she falters, look for the very deserving Judith Light to add an Emmy to those two Tonys and that Daytime Emmy Award already on her mantle. [Posted July 24]

Sometimes, being a teenager means feeling a bit out-of-step or uncertain of your place in their world. But for the titular “Carrie Pilby,” that feeling is only exacerbated by being a genius who went to Harvard at the age of 14. From that viewpoint, the entire world can feel alien.

Like most workplace holiday parties, “Office Christmas Party” reeks of desperation and an incessant need to have fun at every turn. Sure, there are some generally reliable players (T.J. Miller, Jason Bateman, Kate McKinnon), which keeps things from getting deathly dull, but the newest film from directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck (“Blades of Glory”) is mostly uninspired and bland.

It’s that time of year, when the will to get wasted and blow off the steam of the past 12 months has to be measured against maintaining your composure at the office Christmas party. Many have fallen prey to too much eggnog when hanging out with their co-workers and wind up carrying some real regret into January. And for the characters in Universal‘s plainly titled “Office Christmas Party,” things are going to get — as the kids say — lit af.

Vance, and Olivia Munn, Paramount is hoping the film will score big this December.

The holiday party at work is the one time of year where you get the chance to see your co-workers for who they really are. Sometimes, all it takes is a couple glasses of eggnog to loosen ties, and suddenly Chad from Accounting is saying what he really thinks of the boss, right to his face. And in it’s that spirit that “Office Christmas Party” is headed to the big screen.

Carrie Pilby is such a delightful character that she deserves a movie better than the one that bears her name. As played by Bel Powley, the heroine of the indie comedy “Carrie Pilby” is a 19-year-old genius, smart enough to know that she may have peaked at 14, when she was admitted to Harvard. At the start of the film Carrie’s unemployed and friendless in New York City, and seeing a therapist, Dr.
