It is infectiously delightful, even if you’re someone who might typically steer clear of chipper, pink-hued flicks. Somehow Gerwig has struck a balance between unhinged whimsy, deep humanity and comedic bliss. It’s funny, it will make you cry and it feels almost like a rebellion.
Gerwig has created a film that takes Barbie, praises its contribution as an idea to our world, but also criticizes its faults, while also making a film that celebrates being a woman and all the difficulties and beauty that includes.

This was a well done movie. Enjoyed the different genre mashing, and general overall plot.

Everything about Barbie is crafted with both mass appeal and personal insight, much like the doll, resulting in a movie that knows how to please.
Gerwig has crafted a warm, funny and cinematically rich film – if one whose narrative and political ambitions are far less radical than it would like us to suppose.
Whatever you think of “Barbie,” the mere existence of this smart, funny, conceptually playful, sartorially dazzling comic fantasy speaks to the irreverent wit and meta-critical sensibility of its director.
All told, Barbie is a fascinating movie, even if it is occasionally a little frustrating and often more fun to look at than it is laugh-out-loud funny. I think my daughters will probably enjoy it quite a bit — when they watch it when they’re a few years older.
The packaging of “Barbie” is a lot more fun than the tedious toy inside the box.
Barbie is a splendid film with storytelling made to trick its audience while also providing enough color and humor for a satirical adventure.

In my opinion, Barbie is a fun and happy movie that children can watch with their families, but the problem is that the point of this movie is not the Barbie doll. It can be said that there are feminist ideas in this movie, which I don't think is suitable for children at all, and even the ending of this movie separates the two genders or literally discriminates between the sexes. Overall, in my opinion, Barbie is a The movie is average and cheerful, nothing more

I don't know. First I want to say that Margot Robbie and Ryan Gossling did a great job and that's the main pro here. The main con here is the plot. This movie is so so confusing. I mean, at the beginning I understand the story, but as the end comes by, I really have no idea what's going on. Confusing. Really confusing.

I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised or have my bias confirmed, but neither happened. What we got was a lot of eye candy (and by that I mean effects as I found none of the Barbies attractive) and a mess of a plot that even failed to be woke, which was the rumor I heard. Ryan Gosling stole the show while Robbie was competent. Michael Cera, while a fun distraction, ultimately had lottleto do. The laughable feminist message just came off as smug and entitled and worked very hard to ot be woke, imo. **** all, it was very disappointing.
