I'm very conflicted on this film. I enjoyed Margot Robbie's performance as Stereotypical Barbie as well as Ryan Gosling's Ken. The set design is top notch and I loved the design of Barbie World. The costumes and makeup are also well done. But that's about as far as the positives go. While I thought Gosling stole the show, I wish that we saw more of the Kens and more of Allan, because Allan was hilarious. When it comes to the writing, it really falls flat. Most of the dialogue is spoon-feeding you the message instead of showing it through the film. I also thought that the mother character and her daughter were very under developed and felt very generic. I also found the film to be somewhat unrealistic when it came to the real world. The film was funny but felt more annoying and I wasn't very entertained. Just not for me.
