I have no idea what the Barbie movie is actually about, other than its main characters, Barbie and Ken. And Barbie and Ken. And those other Barbies. And that Ken. Everyone is named Barbie or Ken in this movie, I know that much.
I also know that . . . .
Ken doesn’t go anywhere without his roller blades.
Ken and Barbie are boyfriend and girlfriend but have no idea what sex is (and if my experience with Barbie dolls means anything, none of the parts required either).
They live in a pink world on the beach.
Barbie drives a self-driving plastic car.
Greta Gerwig (Little Women) is the director.
The cast is the very definition of star-studded. Alongside stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling we have Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrell and so many others.
Ken and Asian Ken have a rivalry that, at the end of the trailer, spills over into a ‘beach off’ gag that is genuinely hilarious.
