Again, itвЂ™s the perfect airplane flick.ДЇrom the early joke about their name (Star is short for вЂњStarbraвЂќ while Barb isnвЂ™t short for anything) to the winking casting of Wiig as both hero and villain, the film is an endlessly quotable romp - the kind you want to return to again and again. A playful caper about two Nebraskan best friends who, after losing their longtime jobs at a furniture store, decide to leave their midwestern hometown for an impromptu trip to tourist-trap Florida, Barb and Star is confidently silly and self-awarely cheesy itвЂ™s a film about vacationing that somehow feels like a vacation itself.

Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, the latest film by Bridesmaids duo Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, is one such movie I know because I first encountered it on an international flight earlier this year.

But sometimes, a movie finds just the right tone to take your mind off the airborne chaos around you. Being able to enjoy a nice laugh (or cry) while surrounded by screaming babies, overbearing stewardesses, and a snoring stranger taking up the entire armrest is a luxury few are afforded. To me, there is no higher mark for a film than playing well on an airplane. As always, I failed immensely when trying to narrow down my list. Below, I tried to rank my ten favorite films of the year. But overall, I found 2021 to be a year defined more by consensus (even my вЂњanti-cinemaвЂќ friends are raving about The Power of the DogвЂ™s slow-burn) than dissension. Was it my desire for escapism that drew me, a noted late-in-life Musical Theater Gay, deep into the throes of not one, but two splashy revivals of decades-old musical theater productions? Was it my current age (27) pushing me towards films about young adults trying to figure out the meaning of life before theyвЂ™re too old to?ДЄs always, there were movies I didnвЂ™t like that others seemed to love (IвЂ™m looking at you, Belfast, which, to me, plays like a cheap knockoff of Alfonso CuarГіnвЂ™s far superior Roma). Many of the yearвЂ™s biggest releases were pandemic-delayed holdovers from last year ( No Time to Die, A Quiet Place: Part II, the entire slate of Phase IV Marvel films), while theater closures, virtual film festivals, and direct-to-streaming releases (or the вЂњ day-and-dateвЂќ model favored by HBO Max) continued to fundamentally change the way the majority of us consumed cinema.Д®ven still, I found certain themes repeating. To say that 2021 has been an interesting year for cinema would be a gross understatement.
