This Barbie movie is a first for me. The first 5 minutes of the film was unexpected and hilarious, where young girls were smashing porcelain dolls into smitherines. Afterwards, when we got introduced to Barbie Land, I was bored. Yes, there were a few quips here and there that were funny, like when the suits in an office building told Ken that he needed a college degree and other inane qualifications to work there, as cover for the patriarchy. The acting was good. Weird Barbie, played by Kate McKinnon, was the most entertaining. The scene where the Kens were battling each other was bizarre and, at the end, I don't understand why Barbie chose to be in the real world, except as a set up for Barbie ll. Barbie's power is in Barbie Land, inspiring girls all over the world for the next millennia. In the end, I didn't care. I bet that young kids expecting this to be a different movie fell asleep too. The friend I was with was even more bored than I was. So what made this movie a first for me? Barbie succeeds on its own terms but... I hated it. That's never happened before. If I hate a movie it's because I think it's a bad movie and I can tell you why it's a bad movie. I can't with Barbie. Maybe I gotta see my gynecologist.
