Directed and co-written by Greta Gerwig. A runtime of one hour and fifty-four minutes. With a PG-13 rating.

Narrated throughout by Helen Mirren. Starring Margot Robbie playing the world-famous Mattel toy company character "Barbie", specifically "Stereotypical Barbie". Also starring her playmate/partner and fellow toy "Ken", specifically "Beach Ken" played by Ryan Gosling.

Life in "Barbie Land" is magnificent. Every morning is spectacular. With "President Barbie" played by Issa Rae, "Doctor Barbie played by Alexandra Shipp, and "Physicist Barbie" played by Margot Robbie doppelgänger Emma Mackey to name a few.

With many different "Kens" played by John Cena, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir who's playing "Bob Marley in next year's biopic, and Ncuti Gatwa to name a few. Oh, and you can't forget about "Allan" played by Michael Cera.

Every day is magical until it's not. After "Stereotypical Barbie" started getting some weird thoughts. She is advised by "Weird Barbie" played by SNL Alum Kate McKinnon to go to the real world and find her human.

Not wanting to leave her side "Beach Ken" hitches along for the ride. But once in the real world, they will learn new harsh realities. Between "Stereotypical Barbie" now adult human "Gloria" played by America Ferrera and her teenage daughter "Sasha" played by Ariana Greenblatt things are far from how life is in "Barbie Land".

With "Beach Ken" as well getting a heavy dose of reality. These new revelations jeopardize life in "Barbie Land" as a whole. It will take everyone including "Mattel Ceo" played by Will Ferrell to fix everything that's been forever altered.

"Barbie" from the start was said to be different. Co-Writer and director Greta Gerwig said this wasn't going to be a typical "Barbie" film and that the viewer will be surprised. She couldn't be more right.

This film appealed to little girls and women as a whole. It was deep. It touched on emotions and feelings all women feel, have felt, or will feel at some point in their life. Many women cried while watching the film because of how hard some of the points in the film hit.

It wasn't all serious. It also wasn't all pink and rainbows too. It had jokes that everyone could laugh at while also having jokes that only the older viewer would get. It made sure to not take itself too seriously but also have points to make you think. I laughed throughout the film. It was really funny.

The "Kens" were hilarious morons. Both "Ken" and "Barbie" made fun of themselves it also had points in it that were referring to some of the stuff going on in today's climate.

It was fantastically done with a lot of satire. Even the overly silly stuff made a way to make it somewhat funny. Don't judge this book by the cover you will be highly surprised. So many great actors throughout that added to the film. Ryan Gosling knew the assignment.

All ages, genders, and nongenders will enjoy this film. With obvious points paying homage to women. A fun film I enjoyed way more than I thought I would. Expect a lot of different emotions with some hard-hitting realities as well. Once again I have to give a shout-out to the director/co-writer for hitting the mark. Because that's a big task to ask.

This was an excellent film weekend with "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie". With their respective writer/director doing an amazing job doing both. I give this film four mor fires 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but I expect most women to rate this five mor fires. Which makes perfect sense.
