The movie starts great, but goes off the rails soon after. Had they kept the look and feel of the first 30 minutes, this movie could've been great.

For positives, the cast is great in general. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling do a great job as "Stereotypical Barbie" and Ken. Barbieland also looks vividly colorful and full of references to the toys themselves anyone who played with Barbie toys will recognize.

For negatives, It is not a fun movie at its core. The movie pits women against men and it has a negative and political messaging. It's a "lecturing feminist" and "bring down the patriarchy" kind of movie. I wasn't expecting it to turn out this way from the trailers and was honestly surprised by it.

In general, if you're looking for a lighthearted movie about Barbies (and Kens) where you can kick back, relax and have some laughs, this movie is not it.
