After months, I finally watched this film, having given up on waiting for the Max release.
I'll start with a few positives, the movie is visually great, it's very nicely shot, and the production design of Barbieland is insane. That work will rightfully receive Oscar nominations.
However I don't think this movie really deserves to be nominated for anything else (it will), because it mostly sucks in my opinion. It's supposed to be a comedy, but I giggled once or twice, I didn't find it funny at all. It eventually stops being humorous and conveys a message that is not inherently bad, but it's portrayed so on-the-nose and so preachy that it lost me. Plus, the movie is based off a toy after all, it tries to be too profound and smart for its own good. The performances are fine, but these characters are caricatures, maybe intentionally so, but I couldn't relate to or sympathize with anyone as a result. I can see what they were going for, and with some changes maybe it could've worked, but this wasn't it.
4/10, maybe 5 if I'm feeling very generous. It wasn't for me, then again I figured as such based off the promotional material, which is why I avoided it in theaters. However I think it's cool that this seemed to resonate so deeply with so many people.

Otherwise, you are not getting the full experince. ![](https://media.gq.com/photos/64bef035d025dc7de1c6025f/master/pass/20230721-GQ-Barbenheimer-BWF_3027-2.jpg)

Should also mention, ELF had a similar fish out of water type story, except done FAR better.

I never got the appeal of Elf. I remember when that first came in theaters too. Hard to believe it is considered a classic. Damn.

She would probably ask for RDJ money if the studio insisted on a sequel.

More focus on Ken in the sequel. Guy is relatable.
