Pff Jorge and I made very good comments on why we didn’t liked the movie.
Why do you hate latinos?

There's no agenda here. I only seek to provide recaps of threads.

I really think this is an indefensibly bad movie, but it's not "anti man" or "dangerous" or whatever. It's completely nonsensical and gaudy but it's a fucking Barbie movie! The real problem to me is that it's deeply unfunny. I laughed once, at a Will Ferrell line delivery during that FUCKING INTERMINABLE scene where everyone just stands around talking shit out for what feels like 40 minutes. That line may have stopped me from walking out. Everything else is about on par with that "beach you off" joke from the first trailer. Really wish this had been good, because the people who hate it are being extremely annoying about it. 4/10
I usually challenge Jorge, but aside from actually enjoying the movie myself, I agree with everything else he said. If this was supposed to be man-hating why was Ryan Gosling and a Matchbox 20 song the best things in the movie?

I really liked it.
The level of cringe this could've easily gone in the hands of a different director, cast and creative team are something to consider.
Fuck it I loved it, actually.

I said that I agreed with everything except I actually liked it, which negates it. You’re exuding Kenergy right now

People wanna talk about perfect castings, but Kate McKinnon as Weird Barbie is one of those ones that is so obvious after you see it
