I've had Barbies in my childhood. And most of them ended up as weird Barbies. But as a grown woman with husband and child, there were a lot of scenes that take me back to my past and relate with my present. Barbie is a symbol of every woman's life. She embodies all women around the world but at the same time has her own life to lead. While Ken is his own person too! I enjoyed this film from the actors and the story and OMG Helen Mirren. America Ferrera did a great performance as the real world woman who grew up with Barbie while dealing with motherhood and work. I love what they all did in this movie.
