I've always found Greta Gerwig to be something of a hit and miss filmmaker, no doubt she has shown good filmmaking value with films like Little Women but Barbie falls firmly into the miss category for me.

It feels unnecessarily pretentious and it feels lazy with the writing, I'm surprised this script was the one they used because it is all over the place. No matter how hard you try and get into the film, you still won't understand the plot as it just makes no sense. The jokes feel like lectures, there's nothing truly funny here. Cast looks good on paper but didn't deliver on screen. Will Ferrell was very irritating in this film.

There is so much product placement it's like a 2 hour long advert.

Margot Robbie is so much better than this. It's dull and boring and there's no real incentive in watching it.

My rating lands on 1 star out of 5.
