[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This might sound cheesy to you but Barbie let me act out all my emotions, dreams, fears. I used imagination to create marvelously complex backstories for each doll like a soap opera. I always loved that Barbie could do anything. I never really thought about her weird plastic body but the messages to look a certain way came from many more places than that doll so I never have held that against her. [/b]

Anyway, I loved the movie and so did my 12 year old son.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, it was not good. It may have a good opening weekend but I don’t think it will last too long. [/quote]

When you get a rave review from the notoriously hard to please New Yorker film critic, and you take in $155 in like two days, you’re doing pretty okay as a filmmaker. [/quote]

People, just don't pay money to see it if you don't buy into the hype. I'm not. And I have nothing against Barbie. I don't think Barbie has any significance in a girl's life, unless she didn't have great role models in real life. That's the truth.

The bolded is a great summation of what this move was about. I can't remember if it was a line in the movie or a review I listened to that said the same things you said and then concluded with: "and we put them all into a doll."

As far as Barbie not having any significance in a girl's life - you sound like my really high minded law professor that took pride in telling us that he had never seen Star Wars when the prequels came out in the '90's. It doesn't make you look intellectual. Just out of touch.[/quote]

You’re out of touch. Barbie may have been significant for you and PP but wasn’t for so many girls. I’m brown and I didn’t want to play with a doll that was made to glorify racist, western standards of beauty. [/quote]
