It's everything a 2023 event movie should be!
Lots to take away, best part is that an all girl Barbieland and an all boy Kenland while disrespecting and debasing the opposite sex does not work. The answer is somewhere in the middle. The images that Ruth transmits to Barbie when she does a Pinnochio and wants to become a real woman are images of motherhood…something nonexistent for the most part in Barbieland. I took my 7 year old daughter to see it and we have had some great discussions. Thumbs up all the way
Women will understand this movie, men might get it, or they might not. The guys beside me were laughing too! That’s ok, this is about the female experience and it should be celebrated as we make up half the world’s population. The opening scene is an homage to Space Odyssey 2001, so that might have gone over some people’s heads. Barbie is amazing, just like she was when I played with her when I was a girl, because it was my story to make up as I saw fit. Maybe G.I. Joe is your thing, that’s cool but my Barbie rocked! And this is about Barbie.
Great plot! What? Actually it ended up having a good plot. Barbie and all the actors and actresses were nice to look at. The writing was very good. Funny. Enjoyable. Lots of pink everything. See it!
My 13 year old didn't even like it. Waste of time and money.
As an adult loved the movie BUT had my grandchildren definitely not for children. Should be rated PG 14
Worst movie I've seen, with the possible exception of Asteroid City. Don't waste your money.
The movie is not for children. Is full of messages. …. You don’t have to be a mother, get rid of this bother. Children soaks. Barbie is in control, a woman of power. And many other messages. There is a part that it gets boring.
Loved the movie. Loved the actors. Definitely a surprise because I thought it would be all fluff.
Entertaining but very silly. Not what I expected.
