I'm not coming at this from a political or ideological angle. I will laugh at anything from any perspective, whether I agree with it or not, if it is funny. My husband and I made maybe 2 or 3 small chuckles during this movie. It was visually very stimulating, but the dialogue was so dull, and the jokes felt so forced. I didn't feel anyone had any natural chemistry, and the acting didn't land for me. I came in with a very open mind for this film, and I loved Barbie growing up, but my main issue was that it wasn't funny. I was so bored watching this and almost fell asleep a few times. That's my sole reason for saying to skip this. I expected a comedy, and I got this weird mix of forced jokes and deep attempts at long, heartfelt monologues... nothing meshed well here.
