Barbie

I don't think I was the target audience for this movie. I didn't play with barbie nor really did my sisters growing up, so the nostalgia factor was only peripheral. I also don't feel the need for a cheerleading session or unveiling of the truth on the horrors of capitalism and the patriarchy, so the messaging was a bit on the nose. Aside from that, the 80's/90's visuals were fun and the satirical illumination of patriarchy did have me laughing out loud at times. Definitely a cultural touchpoint of this summer. 

3 stars (out of 5)
