[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just went to watch it today with my family and I was excited to do it because it seemed fun. Forty five minutes in I had to take my 9y old to the bathroom and took the opportunity to google “how long is the Barbie movie.”

It had fun moments but overall, I found it a bit boring and the message tiresome. While I agree with the core of the message, I  found the deliver too much in your face and too radical- for lack of a better word. Not all of it, but parts of it (a lot of parts).

But then, I never liked Barbie dolls. I got one once but rarely played with it. I have nothing against them though and have gifted many to my daughter throughout the years, it was just not my cup of tea growing up.

Why would you bring a 9 year old to this movie? It’s PG-13.[/quote]

Np - I took my 9 & 11yos and I think the rating is too high given the content. Yes there are some crude references but a lot of things either went over my kids heads or were not as bad as a lot of things they’ve seen. There were much younger kids in the theater, too. I actually felt more like this is a movie for people who don’t like Barbie, hence the higher rather to try to deter people from taking their very young daughters. My kids and I never really played with Barbie but I’ve enjoyed Greta Gerwig’s films and my 11yo wanted to go so we went. It was… fine? Not amazing, definitely not what my husband or i really expected, my kids were bored a bit but liked the visuals and some of the more slapstick moments. We had a good conversation about gender norms and stereotypes and how people are treated differently in society after and my kids “got” it pretty well. [/quote]
