The start of the movie was amazing for the first half though the second half felt a bit dragged on it's still a great movie. I just watched it at AMC theaters today and it's better than most of the newer live action movies. It has a great plotline, and some scenes were pretty funny and I liked the adult jokes it had and some of those random moments where Ken would sing just seemed funny to me and it's just a great movie and deserves to be on it's own aside from all the other 42 animated movies of barbie. I didn't recognize the cast a few years ago but it's a good thing newer actors have their spotlight to be in. Though the whole thing of playing on their friends was bullcrap and just messed up and wasn't even adding to the plot IMO. But still, I only wanted one star off for that I still liked it in general
