I spent seven dollars hiring this movie to watch on a Friday night with my wife hearing good reviews and expecting some depth and some Baz Lehman type creativity. Instead, I was bored to death through a terribly orchestrated, extremely painfully scripted shocking excuse of a film which has wasted two hours of my life which I will never be able to recover. I feel dumber as a result of watching Barbie, flustered and frustrated that my Friday night has been consumed by utter nonsense. While there was much opportunity to provide deep commentary on gender inequalities, patriarchy, and imbalances in the construction and structural deficiencies in modern Western society, this film missed the mark and injected a constant sense of candy-like juvenile stupidity over 120 minutes of which I will be forever regretful of losing.
