I didn't realize this film leaned more into comedy. I was expecting something more deep. While the movie did have some heavy themes, it was overall light and comedic. While not an amazing film, I did enjoy it enough to give it above a 4.0.
Rating: 4.6/5

hehe. parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey
hehe. she's not entirely stiff but some aspects like her feet staying extended to convey the Barbie-ness
hehe. Just one Allan
hahahaha. "Bet you can't do a flip like that, Ken."
haha. what? "You guys ever think about dying?"
hehe "I'm actually not sure."
ha! fake cold water
smile. haha. do it again
chuckle. blame Mattel
hehe. "Oh look the Supreme Court"
oic. like just because there is an ideal behind Barbie, the real world is more complicated
aww... she shed a tear
hehe. "Men rule the world" was what came out of Ken's mouth
hehe. a room full of men
hahahahaha. That's a well written joke. "Think of it like a town in Sweden, Aaron Dinkins." And they all say "Sweden."
oh wow. surprise to the viewer. mother of the Sasha is the one who drew the designs in sync with Barbie's feelings
hahahahahaha. Aaron says "I'm a man with no power. Does that make me a woman?"
hehe. comedy well done (cubicle scene)
she says her name is Ruth [apparently Ruth Handler created Barbie in 1959 and was the co-founder of Mattel]
hehe. key card
ooh... haha. it is explained in this scene why Barbie had a weird connection
smile. "yeah it was dad" with a look back at Barbie
huh. apparently the CEO is concerned with preserving Barbie
haha. "one lady, she even asked me for the time" (of course the point is that's how women generally feel in the real world)
haha. double glasses
(these are archival)
hehe the way they spread out before falling
delayed laughter. All of N 'Sync.
hehe. "Note to the filmmakers, Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point."
