Let us not forget that you have not seen the movie, but for some reason still have an opinion about it.
i don't need to see a movie to have an opinion about it, but you keep doing you

But in no way do I think it is a best picture. And locks for the acting categories?! Lol. Acting like a fake plastic doll is a critique of an acting coach, not worthy of an Oscar. I know I'll catch heat for this, and it has nothing to do with the message of the movie. It was just a terrible movie.
lol "catch heat for this"
I don't want you to be mad at me!
I could never be mad at you! I tried that one time and it ruined everything. Never again, my guy.

Yeah, that is kind of dumb, tree_
yeah i'm just kidding; i don't have an actual opinion about it because indeed I haven't seen it.. but from the reviews I have seen (not just ben shapiro's!), i'm pretty sure i won't like it, and not just for "political" reasons

I think Margot Robbie is really great as Barbie. She does a fantastic job
Ryan Gosling is also good but not as good as Margot
I watched Barbie twice and liked it less each time, but not everything about it is bad

the movie as a whole ... but they found the character sympathetic and well rounded (no pun intended)
