The movie was brilliant satire wrapped up in beautiful pink paper. I am glad it was a comedy, because I feel it could have easily been darker.

I just ordered a new T-shirt in baby pink, with "smash the patriarchy" written across the front in the Barbie font. I wore another baby pink T-shirt with a hot pink Venus symbol on it when I saw the movie in the theater with two friends. What a great experience. ♀️
