      It’s an all star cast and a famous director. It most definitely does. They reskinned Google search for “Barbie” searches. That’s a lot of money.

    I saw it yesterday in the cinema. It was a perfect mix of fun and serious. I really enjoyed myself. The movie lives up to the hype!

    One recurring joke motif, in which a character (usually our main Barbie) says something unexpectedly perspicacious or academic, is done to death.

    I don’t know about that, seemed to work out well here.

    Barbie is willing to tease its commercial mission and its overlords, but really only if it is followed by a “hey, we’re just having fun here” pat of reassurance.

    Only in theaters. :)

    I like the idea that these reviewers all had the concept for a perfect Barbie movie, and are then criticising this one for not living up to it.

    I think that - like most people - when I heard that Gerwig was making a movie out of Barbie, I thought: how the hell is she going to do that?
