Barbie is really not a good film. The IMDB rating is pretty flattering, although I have seen far worse films.

In terms of what I liked; I thought the set design and colour scheme were nice. It did have a couple of funny moments.

Other than that I can't praise the film too much. The acting isn't bad but the what was needed was good writing, which this film severely lacks. It's all over the place and doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.

As a comedy movie it's not very funny, as mentioned I laughed maybe 2 or 3 times but overall it feels more like a drama. The message is deep and not befitting of a comedy film based off of a beloved children's toy. It is also quite long, nearly 2 hours in length, and it is not a very enjoyable experience in my opinion.

Maybe I'm just not the target audience for this film, but I can't see too many positives about it.
