A difficult film to place. While it succeeds in entertaining and snatching a few healthy laughs-with quotes and jokes aimed mostly at an adept audience-it fails in my humble opinion in its underlying intention to convey a moral. The takeaways of the various Barbies, the monologues of the protoganist and her co-star are, in some ways, not only as anachronistic as they are predictable but all in all incomplete in their conclusions.

The film flows on the predictable register of a tale that is at once banal and surreal, only to head toward an ultra predictable end without ever, at any time coming across any scene or joke that really captures the viewer's attention.

I am not going to go into the various thorny topics addressed by the film because I think they were dealt with superficially while, if there is anything really good to point out, it was certainly the ability to confirm the importance of a serious publicity battage and how decisive the latter is in making all in all mediocre or slightly above sufficiency products achieve results that I sincerely do not think they deserve.
