I was told that I needed to go deeper than the narrative and the images. I tried, but it did not work. Each argument was so cheap and the forced superficiality, that I believe was required by the director, did not attract my buy-in. Even the finale with Mama Barbie came out so commercially, as did the self ironizing Mattel incorporation.

So I will find other movies where Margot and Ryan's performance is far more notable.

Final note: there is only one Barbie that would fit the role. Problem is that her performance would have killed the movie. But I still like her, which is bizarre: Paris Hilton.
