Review of Barbie

Barbie (I) (2023)
4/10
A fair review
29 July 2023
My wife dragged me to see this, after I took her to see Indiana Jones. I'm not going to jump on this band wagon, this was a silly movie. I know what you are thinking "typical male", but no, I was willing to see this and put a high rating, if necessary.

The story is silly, and Will Ferrell really has to find a different movie scout. He's been in some horrendous movies of late. He's such a funny actor, but in this movie, it just didn't suit him and he wasn't funny in it. He tries too hard in this, and not his humourous self.

So, why not one star? Why four stars you say?

First up, America Ferrara, who plays Gloria in this movie, does deserve a credit for her good acting. She's a great actress, especially in the role she plays here. One star for her.

Secondly, there were a few laugh out loud moments in the movie. Not gonna lie, I did laugh in some scenes. Up to two stars.

Thirdly, I could tell the actors had a lot of fun making this movie, and there were a lot of chorography in the dancing that would have taking a lot of time to practice. Up to three stars.

Lastly, a few cameo appearances of A class actors popped up and it was funny to see. The last star given.

It's not a 1 star, it's watchable, but still very silly.

For me, I've watched it, but I wouldn't rush out to watch it again, or watch it when it comes on digital platforms later in the year. I will maybe watch it in ten years time. Maybe..
