#hi barbies!

they are a set, do not separate!

Barbie was so, soooo good. In ways both unexpected and not!

It was really fun, being in a theater lobby, hell the whole mall, and everyone in full pink or otherwise obviously dressed up for the movie, all colors and genders and ages, were all saying "HI BARBIE!" to each other.

No BIG spoilers, but I WILL note that like...people were ragging on the actors for saying stuff like, "this movie solves sexism!" etc and like....they're joking. They were very much in character, and joking. It's kind of the whole theme of the film...

.... that Barbieworld is a Matriarchal paradise and they think the Real World must be like that too! Disillusionment follows!

And ultimately makes the point that Barbie just...is. She's never been perfect, or perfectly everything, because real women aren't. Real people aren't!

It was less of one big ad for Barbie (though duh, of course that's there) and much more a love letter to her. And there's mother/daughter stuff and body stuff and KATE MCKINNON.

100% best night out in a while.
