So dramatic, right? I’ve sat through some pretty bad movies and have never walked out or “almost walked out.” Especially now, anything shocking would be out on social media so you’d know beforehand if it’s something you’d be ok with.

You clearly didn’t see the movie.

I saw the movie and would agree with that assessment.

But so what? What movie is not out to bolster the bottom line? That is the point. They aren't public service announcements.

PP only watches not-for-profit movies, you guys

I’ve walked out of a movie before, but I was a kid, and had only paid like $3, and was able to walk home.

I wanted to walk out on Groundhog Day. I thought if he wakes up and hits the alarm clock one more time, that's it! But even then I stayed until the bitter end. I was Barbie yesterday, nobody walked out in a huff clutching their pearls.

Apparently, Barbie is on track to be the highest grossing movie ever! Incredible!

It’s not that dramatic? I’ve left movies before when I was bored and didn’t want to waste another hour sitting there. No need to be dramatic about it, just grab stuff and leave. I’m sure plenty of people have left movies you’ve been at, you just didn’t notice.

Idk. Maybe you imagine this big flouncing scene or something?

Similar to Lego movie or Toy Story with a more knowing sense of humor. It was fine. The marketing campaign and merch around the movie is maybe more fun than the movie itself.

My 15 yo daughter and her friends didn’t love it and they were pumped to go. Lacked the magic and fun of the Barbie movies and had “too many messages” and parts “were random.” Again they didn’t hate it but didn’t think it was that good.

NP. Good summary by your daughter of the movie. That was my take, also.

The movie makes sense to women of a certain age—not teens or even young women.

Do you go to movies by yourself? I can't imagine getting up and making everyone I'm with leave because I'm "bored" most people just take a nap or something.

Barbie was a summer film and satire, and I thought it was terrific.

No, I usually go with my DH. We have a hand signal if one of us is getting bored and wants to leave. We actually usually agree but in the event that we don’t, the other person just swings back and picks up the one who wanted to stay. The entire decision is done silently. It’s not that frequent for us but we’ve certainly done it. I’ve also just left the theater and waited in the lobby.

I’m not the only person for sure, I’ve had the experience where I left a movie and ended up chatting in the lobby with someone who did the same thing. You just don’t notice the people who leave but it isn’t uncommon.

I hope you reserve end seats so you don't disturb an entire row of people 20 minutes into the movie because you're "bored" and have the attention span of a gnat.

NP. This makes absolutely no sense. It reads like fiction.

Agree. I did not expect it to resonate with me (the mom) as much as it did. My 16 and 12 year old daughters definitely "got" the message and we all enjoyed the comedy. Even my husband that leans pretty conservative was laughing at the Ken Dojo Mansion Casa House. And the part where the Barbie says she's never seen the Godfather is like a scene from our life. We were dying laughing at that.

Definitely agree that this was marketed as a Greta Gerwig movie. I don't even understand the statement comparing it to the animated Barbie videos of the '90s/'00s. It was never going to be that.
