re: Finally watched Barbie....am I missing something?

if it were released in the 90s it probably would have been mostly forgotten as a dumb, silly movie.

but now everything has to be a culture war, so it either has to be the greatest or worst movie ever

Chick nostalgia also plays a part, wife got many of the references I had no clue about.

The Will Ferrell part was horrible, didn't even really get the point of it. Most of the "satire" in that movie felt pretty dated
