The Perfect Movie: Barbie

 

August 17, 2023



Barbie. To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you're a Ken (Ryan Gosling). Margot Robbie is Barbie (plus others), and the cast of this comedy includes many well-known actors.

The Rotten Tomatoes "tomatometer" has this movie at 88% favorable from the critics, and the audience agrees with an 84%. That website's summary from critics is that "Barbie is a visually dazzling comedy whose meta humor is smartly complemented by subversive storytelling". The audience summary is "Clever, funny, and poignant, Barbie is an entertaining movie with a great overall message." The IMDb website gives this movie a 7.4 of 10. This movie is rated PG-13 for suggestive references and mild/moderate language. Runtime is 114 minutes.

The balcony has reopened with improved safety, more legroom (in all but row 2), and better viewing from rows 3-6. Unfortunately, the available legroom is not as much as we had originally planned for, but it is generally better than the legroom that was previously available in the balcony.
