Barbie is based on the popular doll of the same name and sees Barbie go on an adventure to solve a crisis she is having. The film stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Simu Liu, Kinglsey Ben-Adir, Michael Cera, Helen Mirren, and Will Ferell.

Barbie is a fun and funny movie. I enjoyed it a lot. The cast does a solid job. Margot Robbie is a great Barbie. I could see similarities between her and Reese Witherspoon’s Elle Woods from the Legally Blonde movies. The rest of the cast also does a good job. The other Barbies really added to the movie and Barbieland which is the world Barbie and Ken live in. Ryan Gosling is great as Ken. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling have solid chemistry together. Both characters had great journeys in the movie. Helen Mirren was great as the narrator of the movie. America Ferrera did a great job in the movie. It was nice to see her in a substantial role.

Barbie is bright and colorful. It is warm and inviting, especially Barbieland. Barbie also has a great soundtrack. All of the songs fit the movie very well.

Barbie has a good plot. The characters really shine. The movie is a good summer movie. I am curious if there will be a future for the movie whether it’s a sequel or spinoffs. Time will tell. Currently Barbie 2 has not been announced however there have been talks that there will a sequel especially given how well the movie is doing. There have also been talks about making a Ken movie which presumably would star Ryan Gosling. If there are more films, I will see them. I am also content if this is the only movie. I can see this as a one and done or as a franchise. It is a solid and fun movie that has heart and humor.
