Comment on How's the "Barbie" movie? [SPOILERS]

On the good side, I spent the majority of the movie smiling, and overall enjoyed it. Some of the jokes definitely really landed great.

The acting was great, the balance between doll like and real movement was well done by everyone.

Main complaint was some of the more serious parts felt like they were going way too long, without anything to justify paying attention to them after a while.

Not sure how I feel about the feminism stuff, though I do feel like I may have gained some more appreciation for what the world feels like to a lot of women. The parody of men was what it was, but I can’t say it didn’t all have real roots, and generally was a reasonable balance of cringe and hilarious. It did not make me stop smiling, just made me wince at the same time.

Simu couldn’t keep from smiling himself, which was hilarious. I’m glad he was enjoying himself so much.
