I agree with another review that said, watch it before you let your kids and decide if you want them to see it.
we rented it on Amazon prime for my young granddaughter. Not something for her age, or her two older boy cousins. I actually was pretty shocked at opening scenes. Unfortunately, granddaughter was watching.
Barbie the doll is good for all ages basically, but Barbie movies target audience is adults and older teenagers. Barbie movie as a kids film 1 star, Barbie as a adult comedy perhaps a 4 star. Barbie over all, a generous 3 star.
