"Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point" I love how they just brought the narration back solely for that. Best line of 2023. Also, Ryan Gosling was actually perfect. "I'm just Ken" is the greatest song of the year.
It's so hilarious when people tell me women I know in real life are unrealistic beauty standards lol. Like damn, I know a lot of a reality bending women.
@@jasmineg_63 no it doesn't. The point is that even though Barbie can feel ugly, Margot Robbie is the beauty standard which further proves how a woman can be conventionally attractive, they fit the standard but are still pushed into thinking they aren't enough because of how ridiculous and harmful patriarchy is.
I haven’t heard a single person I know hate this movie most of them love it it’s so much fun and I can’t believe certain crowds thought this hated on men
I liked this Malcolm X for women. Also, fun fact: Alan was marketed as "Ken's buddy" and "all of Ken's clothes fit Alan". He was discontinued because a lot of parents thought Alan and Ken were gay together. And Magic Earring Ken was discontinued because that's not an earring hanging around his neck, the people designing him in the early 90's referenced how people dressed in night clubs, thinking what's cool and hip, not knowing a lot of gay people attended night clubs. That's a cock-ring. Gay men loved Magic Earring Ken. Angry parents and Mattel took notice.
It really is surprising how a LIVE ACTION movie about Barbie dolls explores such mature concepts like death and questioning one's existence. Movie lovers are eating a lot more than they thought.
Yes!!! I was full after watching this. While the bandwagon of ppl making memes abt this saying it's corny or a propaganda who haven't watched this prolly settled for sumthing as shallow as they can only reach
I hope if Mattel push for more movies of their toys next I wanna see is He-man. Make it like this, stupid as hell, make jokes to trigger the hardcore old he-man fans and get John Cena to play as he-man. Context on triggering old fans: old he-man fans love the classic 80s look to death. They despise the newer stuff and more these are dudes in their avg 50s+. Same thing they collect the living hell out of the exact same looking he-man with little to almost no changes. I want a movie where he-man ends up in the real world and try to find fellow “warriors” like him. Then have bunch of angry dudes getting pissed on Adam/he-man recruit various type of guys or even women instead of the typical 80s action star looking Arnold, van damme, Sylvester looking ppl. What’s the message in the end of film? Except change and let ppl be who they are or anyone can be a hero. Going back to the old fans angry on new he-man designs they hate it BUT if they have kids and see he kids loving the new he-man figures, how they look and various characters then why continue to get mad? He-man lives on through the generation wifh new ppl collecting him, calling out his signature moves and yell the iconic “I have the power!” And make up new stories for the masters of he universe toy line.
Loving all the Barbie reactions everyone is posting! Fun fact: Sasha and the other girls at the cafeteria lunch table were named and modeled after the Bratz dolls.
I thought the Ken story was so good - he was created to be an accessory to Barbie. Growing up, all the Kens were ignored unless us girls needed him briefly for a storyline. He wasn’t allowed to drive the cars, the boats, or live in the house. Translating that into the movie made me laugh at the accuracy while feeling bad for the boys. I mean, little girls aren’t all that keen on boys yet, so we weren’t sure what to do with him.
@@lucasbelmonte2832if you cared as much as you let on, you'd know why divorce courts are "biased" towards women. People like you are happy being angry and ignorant though, it really is sad
@@tramarthomas6105 Oh please would thou enlighten this ignorant soul and bless thee with thy knowledge?

Oh and it’s also fair that they get custody of children they don’t care for and only want custody to get child support on top of most of their husbands things.
I honestly was super surprised with how funny with movie was, because there were a lot of funny ass moments in the movie. The narrator making a meta joke about Margot Robbie being a miscasting for the movie’s end plot, all the Kens “beaching” each other off, and the depression barbie were my personal notable ones.
@@jelanibyrd5031 yeah, the meta joke was that Margot Robbie is an attractive woman, so to cast her and have the end of the movie revolve around Barbie feeling like she’s not pretty enough was the wrong move to make because obviously audiences know she definitely is and more
@@HydroniteTBbut, isn’t that the reality? pretty girls thinking they’re ugly? it’s not just conventionally unattractive people who get insecure. the whole idea was that no matter how “perfect” you look, namely as a woman, there’s always a lingering feeling of inadequacy. the line at the end of America’s speech sums it up entirely “if just a doll portraying a woman is feeling like this [not good enough], then I don’t even know”. dolls don’t have natural features or conventional flaws, so the message wouldn’t really be as strong if they went with someone less conventionally attractive. it doesn’t make sense for her to be insecure in her looks, and that’s the point.
The scene of Ruth turning Barbie into a human, into Barbara, imo is just so beautiful, it doesn't go the "everyone is a barbie" route, it's more like, "im showing you humanity, this is what you are going to experience"
The "anti-woke" crowd tried to paint this movie as some sort of feminist propaganda. Which is sad, this movie wasn't just about or for women, it was great for men too. It touches on so many topics men go through, and how alike we all are. The speech at the end that breaks the spell women are in are exactly how men feel too. Instead of the movie just speaking about toxic masculinity and how it's bad, it showed how it's bad for us men too and the unfairness of what we go through. It was a great movie!
Speaking as a man who's fully confident in his masculinity, the scenes making fun of men were fucking hilarious! Personal favorite line was "I really stopped caring about the patriarchy once I realized it wasn't about horses.
Fun fact: the line at the end of the movie said by Glorias Husband "Si se puede!" is actually a fun call back to a movie America Ferrera did called "Gotta Kick it Up!" when she was a teenager. I love that throughout the movie they sprinkle little easter eggs to things the actors have done in the past.
The funniest part of this whole dope reaction was Roshi talking about “I’d buy a Ken Doll if you made him a ninja” and there’s literally multiple ninja Ken dolls
The montage was comprised of home videos of the cast and crew. I love that montage it made me teary eyed cause it’s just about the beauty of life and being human
Margot got all excited when the idea for the Barbie montage came up and she called her mom to ask if she had any pictures or video of little Margot playing with a Barbie. Her mom said, "You?!?!? I don't even think I have a picture of you in a dress!" So Margot isn't in that montage, but she's all over the rest of the movie so it's fine.
Alan was actually created to be Ken’s best friend. However, people assumed that they were _more_ than just friends because of sharing clothes thing. Alan is actually married to Midge. Which I’m pretty sure the reason pregnant Midge was recalled was because she didn’t have a wedding ring. So parents assumed that she had a child out of wedlock.
Fun fact. Margot Robbie is a wrestling fan and her favorite wrestler is John Cena. She saw him at the same studio he was filming and just asked him to be in there and he agreed.
Don't suppress this mans Barbie knowledge lmao. My mom has a barbie business on EBAY and I know too mcuh about Barbie lol. It's actually cool the more you know about Barbie history the more layers you can get out of the movie. He's the first reviewer I've seen w real knowledge of the material.
This movie took me off guard when I first watched it because I expected just a fun time, but left that theatre in tears lmaooo. The ending really pulled at my heartstring and I made sure to call my mom afterwards
in case anyone is wondering about the discontinued barbies: - Midge, because it felt really inappropriate to be introducing the concept of making children to children, also many parents thought this was pro-teen preganacy - Allen, because it felt redundant to have another Ken. - Grow-up Skipper was suppose to introduce the concept of puberty but that just came off as gross - Video Barbie wasnt bad because of the tiny screen, its because it also had a camera and it lead to concerns of someone using it to create CP. - Sugar Daddy Ken was meant to be for adult Barbie collectors. they tried to circumvent it with the pun of Sugar being the name of the dog but parents were still mad - Magic earring ken was suppose to be a homosexual ken, but this was the 90s where people were still very homophobic. also everyone kept thinking his ring was a cock ring for some reason. also yes there was the actual Barbie dog that eats its own poop and that baby sitter barbie that took babies surfing, i have vivid memories as a child of that commercial.
The funny thing about magic earring ken was he was totally an accident. Like they just wanted to introduce a night club wardrobe for ken, so they added the ring necklace cause they saw that it was in style with clubbing guys back then, not realizing that it was actually a c*ck ring 😭😭😭
Yo this movie was unironically my favorite movie in years. The themes around the toxicity inherent in the expectations placed on both men and women, the pitfalls and evils of patriarchy and capitalism, and the themes of parenting. And yeah, it’s funny as shit too. Lot of awards coming down the pipeline for this one.
Not one single actual feminist on earth has a problem with motherhood, that’s almost exclusively a reactionary right-wing trope. Kind of like how “dem dur immigrants is comin ter take are jerbs” and “dem dur gayz wanna make ur kidz gay” is mostly extreme right wing reactionaries tilting at windmills. They ain’t got enough real, actual problems to deal with, so they gotta create some. Don Quixote could never
They are persons, and as a person, they have their opinions but is not the true overall. I don't think it glorified motherhood, it shows how rude is. @@thegreatfitzgerald2660
For myself, one of the greatest moments was towards the end, when everyone was sadly waving goodbye to Barbie. Compared that to the first time she left: It was a new Barbie adventure! Everyone was there and cheering and there were posters and joy and smiles! They knew she was going to have a great time and come back and share it with all of them. But not at the end of the movie. They knew she wasn't coming back. This wasn't a trip or a new adventure. This was the final farewell, full of bittersweet emotion and the sense of inevitability that comes with permanent loss.
I was not at all expecting yall to watch these but I'm SO excited that you did. And yall on theme! 💗 And in terms of how insanely sucessful this movie was...it was truly insane. My best friend and I are botb movie people, so we go every week for $5 Tuesdays. I cant remember the last time I've been to a movie with 15 people in it, let alone PACKED. And EVERYBODY was dressed in pink, even the guys. It felt like 2004. And it stayed like that...for weeks. Anyway, yall videos always make my day. Love yall!
The Barbie lore is so serious and it adds so much to experiencing this film, especially it being written by Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach. If you haven't seen a film by them (Lady Bird, Frances Ha, Little Women, Marriage Story, etc.) They both made a hilarious satire for gender roles using Barbie and also Ken for men and women. Greta and Noah never make surface level films, they'll alway make something with some depth to it. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it.
"They tryna raise the sales on Ken dolls" Mattel didn't even give a flying shite whatever Greta wanted to do with the movie, it was genuinely that scene where Mattel said they don't care about him 😭😭 glad Greta did something
I remember playing with the dolls and watching the various movies and shows with my little sis. It was fun, but I had to do that stuff in secret cause my dad would beat my ass for doing anything remotely 'girly'💀
No cap, giving young girls women dolls with things that they can do- cuz that's what they're gonna grow up to be, was always a more intellectually sound idea than teaching girl babies that babies are toys with baby dolls.
47:12 I actually know exactly what lupa mentioned. I watched it awhile before the movie came out so when I saw the movie in theaters, I actually got excited when the discontinued dolls came up
3:18 "the hair one" finally unlocked a barbie memory for me!! i had the color changing hair barbie, that was why it took me so long to cut the hair off lolll
fun fact about the i'm just ken song, the composer wrote the song as a joke then send it to greta, she liked it so much that she thought of putting it in the movie so she talked about with ryan gosling who practiced the song and he did it way better than the composer expected.
Hearing Lupa talk about the Toys That Made Us from Netflix brings me joy. I don’t hear anyone talk about it. Much like him I’m a male with random knowledge of Barbie just because I do.
People who say this movie is about hating men or anti-motherhood either didn't get it or have not seen it. It's a commentary about how women are viewed as less than in the real world. But the message is not that women are superior to men, it's that we're equal and each have a purpose. Barbie doesn't just exist to look good and Ken doesn't just exist to be by Barbie's side. They are both worthy of happiness and love as individuals. And America Ferrera's character specifically says that it's okay to "just" be a mum. You don't have to have a career or choose between a career and being a mum. Plus the pregnant Barbie was a real Barbie that was discontinued because people thought the idea of it was funny seeing as she didn't have a vagina. Speaking of, the ending with her going to the gynecologist, now that she has a vagina, is actually genius. Margot Robbie is fabulous as always but Ryan Gosling just took it to another level!
Love that y’all enjoyed it! I think this is a hilarious and powerful movie, and while not everyone has to love it, I’ve been disappointed in how deeply some reactors have misunderstood it (like not enjoying it because it’s too adult for a kids movie…when it’s not a kids movie). It’s at the very least a fun time and very thoughtfully made film
I’ve watched the movie a few times and listened to podcast reviews, and none of them caught that Barbie was wearing blue the morning after the party! I didn’t even notice it! Great catch!
Man, I have had a ROUGH day. Last thing I was expecting to see was a new roshi movie reaction. Seriously, thank you guys for the content you put out. Always manages to put a smile on my face.
The montage of all the woman, (that Barbie sees at the end) is from the crew of the BARBIE film. It's the women in their lives: mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, children. It was a gift to the crew from director Greta Gerwig. Very sweet.
What I love about this movie is that the old woman was played by the actual barbie so the woman who made barbie that's her daughter and she played her own mom
Ya'll had the best reaction lol it actually makes sense what they said in barbieland about the kens. The kens will have as much power as the women have in the real world. An eye for an eye, am I right ? lmao
There’s a behind-the-scenes video where the director Greta Gerwig is cracking up and crying while laughing at Alan screaming on the beach. It’s hilarious!😂
I love that Lupa watches Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse. Just caught a quick scene while the kiddos were watching and instantly got hooked. It's very funny for something I'm sure that was supposed to be a fluff cartoon.
On the real this movie really impressed with how layered the story is. The 4th wall breaking, the dialog and subtle shots at cancel culture and outdated mindsets regarding gender. Genius film. Hilarious, emotional, thought provoking, and entertaining.
Found myself two of the hard-to-find dolls and pricey three-piece fashion set from this film throughout the weekend. Mattel NEEDS to give us more of the characters from this film as dolls. I want my Michael Cera (Allan) & Alexandra Shipp, Nicolas Coughlan, and Ncuti Gatwa dolls of their characters from this film!!
Hope you all enjoy as much as we did!

Alan was actually created to be Ken’s best friend. However, people assumed that they were _more_ than just friends because of sharing clothes thing. Alan is actually married to Midge. Which I’m pretty sure the reason pregnant Midge was recalled was because she didn’t have a wedding ring. So parents assumed that she had a child out of wedlock.

in case anyone is wondering about the discontinued barbies:
- Midge, because it felt really inappropriate to be introducing the concept of making children to children, also many parents thought this was pro-teen preganacy
- Allen, because it felt redundant to have another Ken.
- Grow-up Skipper was suppose to introduce the concept of puberty but that just came off as gross
- Video Barbie wasnt bad because of the tiny screen, its because it also had a camera and it lead to concerns of someone using it to create CP.
- Sugar Daddy Ken was meant to be for adult Barbie collectors. they tried to circumvent it with the pun of Sugar being the name of the dog but parents were still mad
- Magic earring ken was suppose to be a homosexual ken, but this was the 90s where people were still very homophobic. also everyone kept thinking his ring was a cock ring for some reason.
also yes there was the actual Barbie dog that eats its own poop and that baby sitter barbie that took babies surfing, i have vivid memories as a child of that commercial.
The funny thing about magic earring ken was he was totally an accident. Like they just wanted to introduce a night club wardrobe for ken, so they added the ring necklace cause they saw that it was in style with clubbing guys back then, not realizing that it was actually a c*ck ring 😭😭😭
40:44 her saying with such confidence, "Yeah, that is a beach off" as if she has seen it before 🤣🤣
Yo this movie was unironically my favorite movie in years. The themes around the toxicity inherent in the expectations placed on both men and women, the pitfalls and evils of patriarchy and capitalism, and the themes of parenting. And yeah, it’s funny as shit too. Lot of awards coming down the pipeline for this one.
Supposedly, I saw a decent amount of women on r/feminism that didn't like the movie because it glorified motherhood.
@@thegreatfitzgerald2660what💀💀
@@thegreatfitzgerald2660nah those’re plants. Gotta be
Not one single actual feminist on earth has a problem with motherhood, that’s almost exclusively a reactionary right-wing trope. Kind of like how “dem dur immigrants is comin ter take are jerbs” and “dem dur gayz wanna make ur kidz gay” is mostly extreme right wing reactionaries tilting at windmills. They ain’t got enough real, actual problems to deal with, so they gotta create some. Don Quixote could never
They are persons, and as a person, they have their opinions but is not the true overall. I don't think it glorified motherhood, it shows how rude is. @@thegreatfitzgerald2660
For myself, one of the greatest moments was towards the end, when everyone was sadly waving goodbye to Barbie. Compared that to the first time she left: It was a new Barbie adventure! Everyone was there and cheering and there were posters and joy and smiles! They knew she was going to have a great time and come back and share it with all of them.
But not at the end of the movie. They knew she wasn't coming back. This wasn't a trip or a new adventure. This was the final farewell, full of bittersweet emotion and the sense of inevitability that comes with permanent loss.
Lupa with all his hidden barbie knowledge and roshi judging hella hard was hilarious
Lupa?
@@lucienolongerhuman8298 you right
As someone whose always been more of a monster high girlie but pink is like my life I left the theater feeling like I had a spiritual experience 😂🎉
I was not at all expecting yall to watch these but I'm SO excited that you did. And yall on theme! 💗
And in terms of how insanely sucessful this movie was...it was truly insane. My best friend and I are botb movie people, so we go every week for $5 Tuesdays. I cant remember the last time I've been to a movie with 15 people in it, let alone PACKED. And EVERYBODY was dressed in pink, even the guys. It felt like 2004. And it stayed like that...for weeks.
Anyway, yall videos always make my day. Love yall!
Lupa being in to Barbie is the most random and funniest thing. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just random 😂
The fact that Lupa knows so much about Barbie definitely elevated this video so much more lol
I never thought I’d be given a lot to think about after watching Barbie but here we are.
It was a really great experience seeing it with my Mom.
“Y’all support the WNBA and I’ll go buy a Ken doll” is wild 😂😂😂😂😂
The Barbie lore is so serious and it adds so much to experiencing this film, especially it being written by Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach.
If you haven't seen a film by them (Lady Bird, Frances Ha, Little Women, Marriage Story, etc.)
They both made a hilarious satire for gender roles using Barbie and also Ken for men and women.
Greta and Noah never make surface level films, they'll alway make something with some depth to it.
I'm so glad you all enjoyed it.
That 2001: A Space Odyssey reference at the beginning of the movie is actually genius 😂😂😂
Lupa having barbie knowledge and just Roshi looking at him is so funny to me
LUPA KEEP THE BARBIE FACTS GOING👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"They tryna raise the sales on Ken dolls" Mattel didn't even give a flying shite whatever Greta wanted to do with the movie, it was genuinely that scene where Mattel said they don't care about him 😭😭 glad Greta did something
I remember playing with the dolls and watching the various movies and shows with my little sis. It was fun, but I had to do that stuff in secret cause my dad would beat my ass for doing anything remotely 'girly'💀
Talk about traumatic.
I can't believe Lupa absorbed all that Barbie lore just by osmosis.
"Looks like the shoe is on the other table which is turned" - Roshi😂😂😂😂😂
No cap, giving young girls women dolls with things that they can do- cuz that's what they're gonna grow up to be, was always a more intellectually sound idea than teaching girl babies that babies are toys with baby dolls.
I was holding back my thug tears during that montage scene when i watched it at the Cinema 😂
47:12 I actually know exactly what lupa mentioned. I watched it awhile before the movie came out so when I saw the movie in theaters, I actually got excited when the discontinued dolls came up
3:18 "the hair one" finally unlocked a barbie memory for me!! i had the color changing hair barbie, that was why it took me so long to cut the hair off lolll
Best theory I've read is that Beach Ken was obsessed with horses because the kid that plays with him in the Real World is a horse girl 😂😂
I loved that y’all enjoyed this as much as I did. Also, Lupa I salute your Barbie knowledge. 😂👏🏾
Lupa and his doll knowledge. 😂
The fact that every doll and outfit in this movie was real is so cool.
fun fact about the i'm just ken song, the composer wrote the song as a joke then send it to greta, she liked it so much that she thought of putting it in the movie so she talked about with ryan gosling who practiced the song and he did it way better than the composer expected.
Mark Ronson! He is a legend
Lupa's knowledge of Barbie lore is hilarious. 😂
“Sugar’s Daddy Ken” was an adult collector doll I believe but it was cancelled after backlash, so it actually never came out.
Hearing Lupa talk about the Toys That Made Us from Netflix brings me joy. I don’t hear anyone talk about it. Much like him I’m a male with random knowledge of Barbie just because I do.
Lupa being an enlightened 21st century man, and everyone dunking on him for it 😅
People who say this movie is about hating men or anti-motherhood either didn't get it or have not seen it. It's a commentary about how women are viewed as less than in the real world. But the message is not that women are superior to men, it's that we're equal and each have a purpose. Barbie doesn't just exist to look good and Ken doesn't just exist to be by Barbie's side. They are both worthy of happiness and love as individuals.
And America Ferrera's character specifically says that it's okay to "just" be a mum. You don't have to have a career or choose between a career and being a mum. Plus the pregnant Barbie was a real Barbie that was discontinued because people thought the idea of it was funny seeing as she didn't have a vagina.
Speaking of, the ending with her going to the gynecologist, now that she has a vagina, is actually genius.
Margot Robbie is fabulous as always but Ryan Gosling just took it to another level!
14:35 You can tell Margot was trying not to laugh that entire scene lmao
My 10-year-old son binged Barbie: Life in the Dream House to prepare for seeing this with me and agrees that it is hilarious 😂
Love that y’all enjoyed it! I think this is a hilarious and powerful movie, and while not everyone has to love it, I’ve been disappointed in how deeply some reactors have misunderstood it (like not enjoying it because it’s too adult for a kids movie…when it’s not a kids movie). It’s at the very least a fun time and very thoughtfully made film
Ruth aka Rhea Pearlman!! So good to see her in this! She’s a throwback
In the theatre when Barbie becomes human I said "Margot Robbie origin story" and my sister punched me
Fun fact:half the pink in America was out in stores because of this movie
How is that even feasibly possible
@@dexkani9993pink paint shortage
BARBIE LIFE IN DREAMHOUSE IS HELLA FUNNY LMAO
"Support your brethren" LOL 🤣🤣
I’ve watched the movie a few times and listened to podcast reviews, and none of them caught that Barbie was wearing blue the morning after the party! I didn’t even notice it! Great catch!
I'm so glad that y'all enjoyed that Two Wise Trees Podcast joke. I died the first time I heard it 😂😂
That's why NSync had the album "No Strings Attached" in honor of their Allan roots.
Man, I have had a ROUGH day. Last thing I was expecting to see was a new roshi movie reaction. Seriously, thank you guys for the content you put out. Always manages to put a smile on my face.
*Insert appropriate comforting message*
"Maybe it's Barbie and it's Ken."
The first time I heard that line, I knew it was the film's thesis line.
this is the first reaction channel i saw where the dudes wear pink too which is very nice and in spirit.
The montage of all the woman, (that Barbie sees at the end) is from the crew of the BARBIE film. It's the women in their lives: mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, children. It was a gift to the crew from director Greta Gerwig. Very sweet.
Lupa being a Life in the Dreamhouse stan, WE LOVE TO SEE THAT👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What I love about this movie is that the old woman was played by the actual barbie so the woman who made barbie that's her daughter and she played her own mom
Lupa clearly studied Barbie-ology before this video 😂
I've had 2 exes who played guitar and sing at me 😩😭 It's a canon event
Lupa having so much Barbie deep cut lore knowledge lol. Respect.
“I saw Issa. I saw Black Excellence” took me out
Ya'll had the best reaction lol it actually makes sense what they said in barbieland about the kens. The kens will have as much power as the women have in the real world. An eye for an eye, am I right ? lmao
Ha! For real
There’s a behind-the-scenes video where the director Greta Gerwig is cracking up and crying while laughing at Alan screaming on the beach. It’s hilarious!😂
Lupa being a Barbie expert was not on my Bingo card!
Honestly he's right, the Barbie Dreamhouse show on Netflix is hilarious 👍
the best thing about this reaction is knowing lupa vibes with barbie is the best thing about this video.
Lupa is on point with the toys that made us. It's a really fun docuseries.
I love that Lupa watches Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse. Just caught a quick scene while the kiddos were watching and instantly got hooked. It's very funny for something I'm sure that was supposed to be a fluff cartoon.
On the real this movie really impressed with how layered the story is. The 4th wall breaking, the dialog and subtle shots at cancel culture and outdated mindsets regarding gender. Genius film. Hilarious, emotional, thought provoking, and entertaining.
I remember going to see this movie with my sisters I thought it was gonna be boring, but come to my surprise I was geekin damn near the whole movie
This was AMAZING. 😂
As always, Lupa’s laugh is SO contagious. Best thing ever! 😅
Great reaction, guys!
Yes! Here come the Barbie reactions, love it. I enjoyed this movie more than i thought i would, good to see others feel the same 👍
Found myself two of the hard-to-find dolls and pricey three-piece fashion set from this film throughout the weekend. Mattel NEEDS to give us more of the characters from this film as dolls. I want my Michael Cera (Allan) & Alexandra Shipp, Nicolas Coughlan, and Ncuti Gatwa dolls of their characters from this film!!
