Barbie Movie Review: Not for children. May contain adult hazards.
Great extended, bigger budget SNL skit
Rating: 7 out of 10
Barbie is rated PG-13, but really this movie is targeted at adults who grew up with Barbie. When I watched the movie in a packed theater, it was mostly adult women and some teenagers. If you weren't tipped off by the Barbie trailer featuring Ken (Ryan Gosling) and Ken (Simon Liu) talking about beaching each other off, there's a lot of adult humor in this movie. The plot, however, becomes somewhat confusing with almost every character being named Barbie and Ken.
If you enjoy SNL skits, this movie felt very much like an extended, bigger budgeted SNL skit featuring SNL alumni Kate McKinnon and Will Ferrell. Speaking of Will Ferrell, he pretty much plays the same character of Lord Business from "The Lego Movie."
If you are looking for a movie to take young children to, I wouldn't recommend this movie, which is a shame because this movie had the potential of being a family-friendly outing.
