Hopefully, the "stars" who acted in this film were in it for the money. The story is not original, and the execution is more like advertising, but one of the weaker ones among those products. The story is weak, and it seems that the director did not make this film with much care. Farrel did her usual "high-quality" work, Robbie once again proved her acting credentials, Gosling was himself, and Gerwig, as usual, created something "long-lasting." Finally, it was a well-paid, routine job only.

The screenwriters also need further training. I suppose even artificial intelligence could produce more vivid dialogue.

However, at least the producers know what they are doing and have given money to this high intellectual quality work because they have found the target audience's level exactly.

Although the transitions between the drawn and reality plots are fair enough and demonstrate the difference between the real and the Barbie world, the musical interludes make me question the writers'/director's sanity. I wanted to watch this thing from start to finish to write a fair review, but the growing pain in my brain ordered me to stop before significant brain damage.

Hopefully, they are already working on a sequel because this film suits them well, and they should keep it up, as the audience is large enough for it.

I do not doubt that someone will nominate it for an Oscar, and that nomination will hopefully put that plastic award in its place forever.
