I thought this was going to be a movie about the Barbie doll. I thought it would be somewhat entertaining and funny. The beginning was actually brilliant with its ode to a previous classic film i will not name so as not to spoil it. And then everything fell apart. The movie gets lost in its own attempted message of feminism and gender equality. It doesn't make its point at all and becomes incoherent and scrambled. There was no message as the movie tries to make a statement but comes across heavy-handed and confused. I looked at my watch several times to see how much more of this poorly directed mumbo-jumbo I had to tolerate. Best Picture nominee? No way.
