Barbie is 65. So am I. She is holding up much better than I am. The movie, however, was like a trip to the dentist for a root canal.

Costume and set decoration-maybe an honorable mention at the Oscars, but beyond that, this movie is more worthy of a Razzie than an Oscar. It fails as nostalgia, it fails as female empowerment, it is neither funny nor heartfelt If you want female empowerment, watch "RBG", "Norma Rae", "Hidden Figures" or "Erin Brokovich". I am sure that Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Reah Perlman. Ann Mirren and the rest of the lot will continue to have fruitful careers. Just please do not make a sequel! If you want to sell more pools, Corvettes and Dream Houses, make a few good commercials and air them near Christmas. There wasn't enough novociane to numb me during this presentation. Save your money and re-watch "Toy Story, "Despicable Me" or "Frozen." Don't say I didn't warn you........
