He can’t contain his applause and so begins clapping 35 seconds in to America Ferrera’s hour long speech. “Come on Barbie, let’s go party!”, he cries. Looking down, he notices his assistant dabbing up a spill on his lap. “It’s okay, Ben,” they whisper. “You just got too excited and made some cummies.” Ben blushes.

      From what my room-temperature IQ could piece together from reading articles about the film, I think it was intended to recuperate the general consensus of the IP held by people in their 20s to 30s. Maybe I'm just making things up but I'm pretty sure I read an article where some higher up from Mattel explicitly stated that the film tested well with mothers. Their end goal isn't to sell more dolls but things like barbie xboxes and such.

    Very funny and well directed movie (even if it becomes a car/ rollerblade commercial/ the monologue that was directed at liberal supervisor moms).

    this is 100% how i felt about the movie. it was cool in the beginning but then it got super messy with forced plot. and some of the characters were introduced into the movie too late for me to care about them. as a Women the second half was hard to sit through because it felt like it was trying to be relatable and poignant to all women but it was, as the guy in the hat said, trite buzzfeed feminism. ken was funny though

      That was the main part I had an issue with. It seemed like they were building up something with how the Ken's were literally objectified accessories for their respective barbies, and then that kind of went nowhere.

      They live in barbieland though, they are a toy invented to be an accessory to barbie. Their role in barbieland isn’t modelled after the real world. They are behaving out of character for their role as supporting characters in barbie’s life so in the end they go back to normal

    It’s a milk toast take on patriarchy and woman hood but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun. It maybe does tread the line between preachy and shit satire but i don’t think it’s meant to be made for adults looking for nuance. I took it as an elementary satire that aimed to engage young girls on what it is to be female etc. Doesn’t have to be much deeper than that.

    Somehow Nick Mullen has the best take on this film. It's not bad, and the politics of it are fairly bland and inoffensive to any nornal person, but the satire stops really working after a while and it just becomes a formulaic movie with script issues. It definitely has some funny shit in it though.

      Also I love how every article calls barbie land a feminist utopia, but ultimately it's a matriarchy when men only live to serve women, and when they leave they lack any direction because women where made to be their only purpose in life.
