I love that this movie is as others put it "preachy". I feel that with the current climate and so many young ladies losing freedoms and not realizing how far women have come in the past 60 years we need reminding how quickly it can all go away, lest young ladies today get too comfortable.

There is a lot in this movie about mother/daughter relationships, women's roles in society and how hard it is to be a woman in a society that expects perfection. It is also fun, some great jokes, and Rhea Pearlman really made such a wonderful appearance. When Barbie first came out, it was a time when women didn't have as many options as they do now, women couldn't even have credit! I feel like this movie is a nod to what Barbie is supposed to stand for but also for the ways Barbie has fallen short.
