I cringe a little whenever I see grown men wearing Barbie merch, or a few weeks ago when dudes were dressing up in pink to go see the movie with their girlfriends or whatnot. Men, the Barbie movie is just Not For You. Go watch Oppenheimer instead.
Discussion
I know I'm very late to this discourse, but it was on my mind today
I’ll argue the Barbie movie is very much for men too. It’s hilarious. I feel like a lot of people missed the point.
Admittedly, I never saw it. I'd be happy to watch it at home, but it's definitely not the highest on my list.
That said, I did hear several people, men and women, saying they quite enjoyed it. And, like you said, that many people missed the point.
It was very different than what I expected. I’m still honestly surprised that Mattel signed off on it.
Watched it with the family and absolutely loved it. You should see it for yourself.
I didn’t feel the need to dress up to see it though. I don’t own any pink.
