Barbie is a fun, silly, zany, movie that graciously takes from Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, Wizard of Oz, & the old Artificial Intelligence movie.

Barbie stumbles into an existential self-actualization & internal struggle about who she is & what impact she has on women/girls.

Margo Robbie is very good and brings all the heart, confusion, and full range of Barbie outfits and lifestyle.

America Ferrera is a delight and brings heart, but also represents 30, 40, 50 year old women who used to love Barbie.

Ryan Gosling as Ken is mostly funny.

The in-jokes are for adults but the colors, dance numbers and songs, along with Barbie's initial innocence are Disney TV-esque and they work.

Barbie and Ken learning about "the real world" causes different problems that cause most of the tension. There are surprises in learning.

Issa Rae was underused but that was the only disappointment.

It was nice to see writer/director Greta Gerwig realize that Black and brown people exist. Like Barbie in the movie, hopefully she'll continue to grow.

Barbie is a very good summer movie I think kids 4+ will enjoy.
