    I like the idea that these reviewers all had the concept for a perfect Barbie movie, and are then criticising this one for not living up to it.

    I think that - like most people - when I heard that Gerwig was making a movie out of Barbie, I thought: how the hell is she going to do that?

        Oh cool. Never had a doubt of course. Off to Narnia next apparently (which means I’ll have to wait even longer for my imagined Gerwig Star Wars, unfortunately).

    One recurring joke motif, in which a character (usually our main Barbie) says something unexpectedly perspicacious or academic, is done to death.

    I don’t know about that, seemed to work out well here.

    Barbie is willing to tease its commercial mission and its overlords, but really only if it is followed by a “hey, we’re just having fun here” pat of reassurance.

    Only in theaters. :)
