I was looking forward to seeing Barbie. It was on my list of most-anticipated movies and I had heard so many good things about it. But Barbie let me down. I wish that the filmmakers had put as much effort into the screenplay as they did the sets, costumes, and Barbie references. Barbie has a really fun look, but the plot seems like it was cobbled together by seven-year-olds and then coated with a layer of cynicism. Barbie also isn't as humorous as I expected it to be. I think I only laughed out loud once. And most of the jokes feel like lectures. I guess life in plastic isn't all that fantastic.
