Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are most charming and superb in their roles as Barbie and Ken. Also here and there are some really funny and entertaining scenes, but the "message" (you know all that blabla about patriarchy and matriarchy and all the cliches regarding gender from a certain point of view) drag the whole movie rather down - at least for me. For sure the movie is one great coup by the marketing team of Mattel to fit and place Barbie World into the currents of today's zeitgeist (like all those Barbie dolls they sell these days that are inclusive) - I take any bet, the sells will rise these days profoundly. Anyway, if you are in the mood for comedy and can cope with those "preachy elements" especially in the second half of the movie, you may find some good entertainment (like I did), but if you are really fed up with such "progressive" matters, you should avoid watching this one. Because of Robbie and Gosling and some fine settings and scenes this movie does not crash but Barbie is without doubt just another most hyped affair by the media, and the plot rather a very predictable one, if you think about it.
