I laughed a lot! I even teared up a few times. I felt a bit uncomfortable a couple of times.

When I first heard about this movie, I couldn't have been less than enthusiastic. In fact, I thought it sounded like a waste of time and money and I kept wondering "Why???" Then the movie came out and I had to pay attention. I decided to see a morning showing while my dogs were being groomed and I'm so glad I did!

Barbie is fun. It's also a movie for adults and I believe children could be entertained by the sets and costumes . . . But, the story is more mature and complicated. It could have gone in the direction of ludicrous and absurd. This is where I'm going to give kudos to Greta Gerwig for her writing and direction.

Margot Robbie is excellent, but the scene stealer is Ryan Gosling. I hope some day they will release a short film of the outtakes. I can't imagine this movie wasn't plagued by characters loosing focus and cracking each up or having blunders with props.

Well done! A great escape!
