I never ever expected to watch this film. I thought that it would be a decent Hollywood movie, but not something that I had any interest in. Then everyone started going to see it wearing pink and getting photos in Barbie boxes, and they came out raving about it, and someone posted That Monologue by America Ferrera, and suddenly I didn't want to miss out.

Cue a fantastically pink outfit, friend dragged along also in pink, pink cocktails purchased, and photos in the Barbie box taken. Then the film.

It was nothing like I expected at all. Every cast member was perfect in their role; I wasn't a fan of Ryan Gosling before this, but his Ken was spot on. Margot and America were the show stealers though. They made it the feminist masterpiece that I never knew Barbie could give me. I left the cinema feeling empowered and happy. So many laughs, so incredibly self aware, and I even learnt some history of Barbie too.

Weird Barbie definitely should have been in it more, we all had a Barbie which got their hair cut and face coloured. My only damper to the film was Will Ferrell. While he fit the part he played, he is just always so.... Will Ferrell. The scenes that he was in seemed far inferior to the rest of the film.

I really hope that there is a sequel, and I'm normally wary of the constant need for sequels. I do need more Barbie in my life though!
