Dreadfully Boring

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Not only is this movie better that Godfather Part 1, This is the ONLY movie you should ever watch. The characters are well written, the jokes land, and Barbie herself is an interesting character. The Barbie saga has been going strong since 2001. All of the movies in the series are incredibly emotional and intersting. The only gripe I have with it is that the CGI looks too real. They look too real to be in a kids show. Don't ever watch a Pixar film, because this is the definitive animated movie experience. Dare I say that it's almost as good as Motu Patlu, Which is also a great classic show.

Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse is nothing less that a modern entertaining series for those who like "slap stick" humor and hidden hints from a lot of other high profiled Hollywood productions.There are a lot of details in every episode containing hints to either the Barbie franchise, everyday situations, and certainly also the stereotype behavior of the characters.They are all sweet, clumsy, silly, nice, in their own rights. The characters all have their own personality and sometimes they are having trouble doing things because their limited way of movement (as they are dolls in the series and therefore not pretending to be human). So warning against haircuts do have a point; the hair does not grow out again.. ;-)This is combined with the silly oversize of driver license, spray bottles and other stuff that comes with a Barbie doll.And if you watch it closely you can learn a lot of trivia about Barbie, as a lot of Barbie fact are present in some episodes.This series is an absolute must for every Barbie fan.

Completely ignore the reviewers that give this show a one star. They apparently seem just as air-headed as the pretend dolls that they claim to be stupid.This is a very cute show, and it clearly satirizes that stereotypes around Barbie. Even my children got the joke. This show is very humorous in an intelligent way and parodies unrealistic material values. I can think of a few examples. One of Barbie's friends says that Barbie is the only person in the world with an indoor dolphin aquarium when Barbie claims to not have enough nice things in her gigantic pink mansion. Another episode centers around Barbie and her friends literally walking around for hours in Barbie's closet looking for one item, and her closet seems to contain hundreds of shoes and accessories. Barbie even jokes in the episode that the size of the closet goes on for such a long way that it takes days of travel to find what you want, while her friends drag giant shopping bags clearly exhausted, huffing and puffing.This is CLEARLY a joke and satirizes the stereotypes about Barbie. I and my kids AND their friends got the joke and thought it was hilarious, and realized just how unrealistic it is while enjoying the funny antics of Barbie and her friends.Really, the joke is not hard to get and its very funny, while teaching a lesson to children about material values in an ironic way. If children can understand the irony then adults SHOULD be able to as well. Unfortunately, there are the 1% who have no sense of humor at all and take everything they watch seriously.This is a cute show and I enjoyed it very much.

The previous reviewer of this series unfortunately totally missed the point of this show. It is MAKING FUN OF the "OLD" stereotype of Barbie. It is NOT trying to say it is the way things should be. I have two girls (aged 7 and 3), and BOTH of them understand the humor (in different developmental stages). The 3 year old just thinks they're funny. My 7 year old laughs and asks questions and understands how a doll's life is nothing like real life.The original reviewer's issue, it seems, is that she does not understand that and wants Barbie to be the shining example of how a girl should be.I agree that previous Barbie movies have tried to put Barbie in a better life and showing values, but she still has an endless supply of money and is basically NEVER struggling to get the thing she wants (Except for not being GOOD ENOUGH at it or overcome the evil-doer). My two little girls would LOVE to ride horses all the time. They can't. So Barbie is a horrible role model, and Mattel should be shamed! I'm joking of course.I actually applaud Mattel for allowing this take on Barbie to be made. They're making fun of themselves, and wonderfully so.
