    We took the boys to the Barbie movie today. It was hilarious! You probably need to have grown up with Barbie in your house to get some of the references. Our kids have not, I’m sad to say - so they missed a lot. All the Patriarchy stuff would have gone right over their heads, also. Hopefully, that word is now in their lexicons though.

    They claim it was a good movie, so it obviously still worked at their level. My wife and I had a blast laughing at it though. Great family fun.

      I loved it too, lots of references for a wide range of age groups (although I’d like to think Millenials get it the most!) - it was great fun, though quite emotional for me near the end with Barbie and Ruth.
