I'm not sure if there is a bigger platform here on Lemmy discussing new releases, but Barbie was awesome. I had a smile on my face pretty much the entire time. The kens were hilarious. I thought it was a bit heavy handed at times but as a male, I'm sure it's just a bit of ignorance on my part.

Would love to hear what everyone's thinking!

It was great. Like the Lego movie it felt aware of what it was and did a good job of not just making fun of itself, but also having a surprisingly heartfelt message.

I haven't watched it yet, but the trailer feels like The Lego Movie but with Barbie. It even has Will Ferrell as president business again.
