1. Worth seeing & hope it resounds for those who might otherwise not want to see a "feminist" movie

My wife wanted to go and my only worry was it would be too much Barbie toy stuff and no real worthwhile plot. I think I missed many toy related easter eggs and details that Barbie afficionados probably are thrilled by but was pleasantly surprised by the plot presentation. Must have been a blast for the set designers and contractors to put Barbieland together. Somehow I think an opportunity will be missed if there is not a Barbie theme park in the offing. Can't believe Mattel was pleased by how they were portrayed although I suspect it could have been worse.
