Fun fact the reason midge was considered problematic was because, parents thought she was a single teen mom. In reality she was an adult married to Allen.
@@sarhahillsburg5142They weren’t. And at first Midge didn’t have a wedding ring. After the backlash they added a wedding ring and a cardboard cutout of her husband Alan and her toddler son Ryan to the box.
@@WelcomeApathy She was married to Alan as part of a “Happy Family” line and a bride and groom set. Then she was sold with Alan and their son Ryan. Only after all that was the pregnant version of Midge sold.

Knew from the trailers Margot Robbie would be the perfect Barbie, but honestly did not expect how well Ryan Gosling would fit the role of Ken. Wasn’t until I reflected on his other roles afterwards that I realized he has a huge range as an actor and is great in so many different roles!!
I'm surprised you didn't sin that Barbie was able to walk about to a group of teens at high school and not immediately get asked to leave by a staff member.
Agreed, there didn't seem to be any adult supervisors, from what I can remember, and she clearly didn't look like a high school student. Then again, I'm possibly nitpicking a movie where realism isn't really an expectation.
Well despite Barbie has been around for a long time since 1959 and has had so many careers, her canon age is 19 and there are some 19 year Olds who have either repeated year 12 or have done a 13th year of school. But yeah the teachers should have checked
I still gotta say, when Ken puts on the second set of sunglasses, I lost it in the theater. I was rolling in my seat. It was that kind of joke you'd get out of old-school Simpsons or something. Just fantastic.
My one criticism, which he pointed out, is how unrealistic the mattel company is. If you establish that it is the real world, you can’t have the mother and daughter act normal and real but have the mattel people be so ridiculous
That delivery of the line of Barbie looking at the old lady and saying “you’re so beautiful” even while watching a cinema sin was enough to tear me up like that shit is so powerful 😭

@@mischief2449 the old lady’s line is a little cheesy but it makes you giggle a bit. There’s just something about seeing Margot Robbie who is such a beautiful woman (portraying the stereotypical “perfect” Barbie) calling a person deemed ugly by society beautiful and sounding so sincere about it. It’s just a wholesome moment you wish would happen in real life but rarely ever does
The "You're so beautiful" makes me tear up every time and it's so nice to see CinemaSins appreciate it too. No jokes, no commentary, just a sin off for both lines
My only disagreement to this is the “I’m not pretty anymore” cry. As a woman, I swear I’m not superficial, but almost always the first line to my breakdowns are “I’m not pretty” before it descends into the real problems and I feel that being her opening was the perfect line that almost broke me
An ex-gf of mine used to obsess about her beauty--especially during her manic episodes. She'd flash her phone in my face of some random girl on the internet and ask me if the girl was hotter than was she. 😕 Obviously, this was a *terrible* situation, because we all know that any reply was non-sequitur to the real issue. And, as expected, I eventually had to exit that relationship because simply put... megalomaniacal narcissists are both self-destructive and they also cause MASSIVE collateral damage to anyone and everything around them.
The last drop in the bucket very often is the first to spill out...followed by the actual things that spilled said metaphorical bucket. I felt that line too. It's not about the first line said in a breakdown. the first line is the last straw.... and it I can be superficial but the problems that caused it aren't and that's why I liked it. It felt real. You can have problems that aren't the main issue and they still affect you.
The two biggest sins that stood out to me: Barbie should be sleeping perfectly rigid with her arms down rather than bent near her head like a human child, and Ken shouldn't have nipples.
Someone literally posted the same exact comment, right down to the exact phrasing word for word, and got a lot of likes, do bots like this farm likes or something?
One thing tho, Barbie saying "I'm not pretty anymore" as her first line from her existential crisis is completely valid. I'm pretty sure other people can relate as well but just from that one line, I completely understood exactly how she was feeling. As a character that's most commonly known for that "picture perfect BARBIE doll appearance," there's now this expectation that's created that not just other people but Barbie has of herself, which eventually becomes a measure that determines and validates her worth and value. The line isn't meant to be taken literally, but as a way to express how Barbie feels. Her mind's probably all jumbled with a blur of different emotions that she feels so overwhelmed that it's numbing. There's so much going on in her head but she can't formulate any words or doesn't even know what to say that can even closely describe the true gravity of her current state. Therefore, the only thing she can think of to say is "I'm not pretty anymore," which can also implicate or be interpreted as a way of Barbie confessing that she doesn't feel good enough and doesn't understand or see her own value.
And that is the most stupidest thing about being female. Failing and then suddenly being so shallow that it's blamed on good looks. Who cares? Aren't we 'taught' looks aren't everything and yet the biggest insult to give a female is that they are not pretty. As woman, I'd love to tell females they are ugly. Why must beauty be the most important thing? I want to be known for my INTELLIGENCE. Not my looks.
@@roedhuntso your just saying females are females biggest problem, i agree, females are everyones problem. Your all adult children, and the mind seagr you described perfectly captures trying to communicate with a woman, its a chore
@@manaash4316I think it would've been a valid message. But I think he sinned it because that it was a conflict that was put in the film randomly without ever introducing it and then it was never even paid attention to. So it's really a sin about screenplay writing choices than it is about what they are trying to convey. And while I love the film, I couldn't deny that Gerwig tried to resolve too many conflicts in one film which is humorous. But she did manage to balance the rest brilliantly.
The Barbie Land box that instantly transported Barbie (or any doll-faced doll) to Barbie Land was the original high-rise elevator that was somehow always ready and waiting on any given floor as soon as someone pushed the elevator button.
I'm glad that others are also noticing the bizarre misconception of Kate McKinnon being any kind of "ugly," she's actually damn beautiful and I feel like she's not being offered enough roles that showcases this.
First off, I actually don't find Kate McKinnon to be that attractive. Not saying she's ugly, just not attractive. Something about her eyes when she smiles, they kinda bug out in my opinion. Its irrelevant though. My other point is that we don't really know the roles that are being offered to her, we do know however the roles she accepts. So...
I don't think the joke about Ken and the female doctor is that he doesn't think doctors can be female, but since every job in Barbieland is an exaggerated characiture of a real-world job, he assumes only a person with a white coat could be a doctor
I saw it more as; I now learned about patriarchy where only men get 'better' jobs, so now he doesn't believe her that she is in fact a doctor. He just learned that it should be a man in this world. His only refference is Barbie World and anything he learned about the Real world from random books he grabbed. So he just follows what he read and saw; everything being about men.
i think its meant to be that since he noticed things were basically opposite as barbie world then he assumes a 'real' doctor would be a man in the real world and not her. plus he doesn't know or have any knowledge on what doctors do and probably no other barbie does so he probably thinks a white coat is enough. now I'm wondering if doctor barbie would automatically have a real professional doctor's skills if she became human. because if we assume that the job they're given actually gives them those talents then she can probably can.
He got convinced everything in the real world is in favour of men instead of women/barbies. So if in Barbieland only a Barbie could be a doctor, it makes sense that in the Real World only a man could be one. He didn't grasp the nuances there lol
The one sort of plothole or inconsistency for me was, The explanation for how the Kens took over so easily was that the Barbies had never experienced patriarchy before, therefore they were powerless against it. But when Barbie and Ken went into the real world, she was Immediately scared and uncomfortable and had all her defences up. Idk
Your wordless sin removals always warm my heart, and the one-two sin removal at the 8min mark cleared my skin, watered my crops, filled my bank account, and brought me a fluffy Golden Retriever puppy named Hermes who also has a little navy blue scarf.
23:51 The fact that this clip at the end uses a song from “The Princess and the Pauper” for the live action Barbie is amazing and I refuse to believe that it’s just a coincidence. (If my comment doesn’t make any sense to you, “The Princess and the Pauper” was an animated Barbie movie from back in the 2000s and is surprisingly still a good movie to this day.)
0:53 isn't Barbie able to walk on water because her house is a representation of an actual toy Barbie dream house, and in Barbie dreamhouses there's not any actual water in the pool, that also shows why they don't have walls because the dream houses were designed for kids to play on the inside too.
Whilst I agree with removing a sin for Ferrara's speech, I feel you should have added one for her having to use the uniquely Ferrara superpower of making a speech at people to move the plot forward. When I saw her name in the opening credits I immediately knew she would make a speech at some point, because it seems to be her typecast role.
The issue I have with this is it plays it like the real world is reversed and Barbie is a toxic man and Ken is her victim. But then Ken losing in order to say it's NOT real world reversed means that message is conflicted
Honestly my problem with any implication that the barbie world was just the real world reversed is that being ignored or excluded or even patronized (like the kens), is not the same as being systematically abused and repressed. Then the barbie movie has Barbie and Ken BOTH apologize to one another, as though you could possibly equate Kens being excluded to the Barbies being brainwashed into servitude. It's just a repeat of the narrative that women are to blame for being abused. Like, no, he is not 'kenough', unless "i am kenough' means 'i'm an abusive terrorist'
I'm surprised you didn't mention that if Barbie only walks on water and the mermaids swim in the pool... would Barbie be eternally walking on Dua Lipa's head ??
I really miss you guys doing the behind the sins podcast so I know who wrote the script for each video. It was such an amazing peek behind the curtain and it's the only reason I know CinemaSins isn't just one guy
@@itzkalateral1494 nope. CinemaSins is made up of a whole team of people. They also run TV sins and Commercial sins. 3 narrators, 8 script writers and a whole team of editors

My interpretation (big word for it tbh) of the doctor scene was that since he thought men ran everything in the real world, only men could be doctors just like no ken would be a doctor in Barbie Land.
The fact that Margot Robbie's Barbie gets sold more than any of the other dolls in the movie despite it going entirely against the message this movie has is more egregious than the Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken merch.
I'm glad they pointed out a lot of my issues with the movie too. I personally didn't care for it. I really, really wanted to love it, but it felt like a lot of ideas and not enough structure. Like a string of Barbie themed skits they loosely strung together to turn into a movie. The plot starts out being about Barbie going to the real world to find the girl corrupting her. Then it suddenly is about Ken finding out about the Patriarchy and bringing it to Barbieland. Then it becomes Barbie liberating the other Barbies and tricking the Kens. Then it's about Barbie having an existential crisis and debating on being human or not. It's just a lot. There's some fun scenes and it did get genuine laughs from me but it's definitely not the movie I thought it'd be. Seems like it's more loved by the masses because it's a movement and not a movie but hey, it got people to the theaters and that's important especially nowadays.
It kinda felt like two or three great movies stuffed into one, which resulted in a bunch of wonderful scenes but made the collective a bit of a narrative mess.
I really enjoyed the movie but honestly yeah you’ve got a point. It definitely wasn’t sure which message/plotline to focus on and it didn’t do any of them quite properly as a result
My theory about the one F-bomb bleep. I think Mattel demanded it; they had to have buy off for the script and insisted that Barbie can NEVER drop an F-bomb. Which is why they added the MATTEL logo on the censor as a subtle protest.
They didn't bleep it in Canada. She fully says fuckers. My christian coworker refused to let her teenage daughter see it because of that (and the use of Bitch). It's also only rated pg here, cuz everything seems to be rated lower in Canada
At 7:04 when you questioned why they were being printed again-it happens every time you get arrested. Yes, even if it’s the same day. This might vary by state or province but it’s the norm in most police stations. This sin was given in error.
Okay but Midge was legit terrifying and VERY problematic. Her stomach REMOVED, the baby popped out and you FLIPPED THE BELLY over to make her "not pregnant"😳😳😳😳
I wonder if that means Midge-Barbie could've just not been pregnant whenever. Just pop the baby out and have her constantly mothering a newborn.... okay I guess that's hardly any less creepy.
The shade against Portland is so perfect that I’m sitting here in amused shock. Holy FUCK, CinemaSins, you hit it on the head! God damn, that was just perfect.
Actually pregnant barbie can give birth via C-section i had her as a kid. The baby is inside a dome against the belly. You jus take the dome off. Which makes the film slightly dark
21:59 "when the human race is wiped out by an asteroid in the year 2141 two weeks before the first interstellar mission is supposed to be launched. As Herman Stanhope stands watching the approaching annihilation of the world, and the neutering of the years of work he put into the interstellar program as its head designer, his last thoughts will be of the irony of space conquering his species just before his species conquered space. "it really does feel like a simulation sometimes", he will think seconds before a giant rock ends not only his life but that stupid idea he just had." that is weirdly specific and funny
I had no idea that CinemaSins knew that the straight-to-video Barbie movies existed. I might've gasped a little out loud when I heard "It's...a...TEMPorary setback" ❤️❤️
Beauty standards aren't based on Barbie, Barbie is based on beauty standards because you would want your doll to be beautiful. Otherwise you'll end up with Chucky dolls everywhere.
God dammit, the first Thanksgiving where I finally forget that gut-wrenching fackin movie, & here you go, reminding me all over again. Besides, the sins removed for the final scene would send the Sin Tally into negative territory.
Thank you for saying "it could also be a boy" and with such empasis. I hated how the movie skipped boys and centered only girls as their play posibility.
And he should be played by Ryan Gossling and the plot should be from Jane Austen's book Persuasion. Ken/Ryan should be Capitain Wentworth, a rejected love interest of the heroine (Anne/Barbie), comming back with riches and still good looking, and her regretting for rejecting him before. It would be a nice sequel... Maybe

He got convinced everything in the real world is in favour of men instead of women/barbies. So if in Barbieland only a Barbie could be a doctor, it makes sense that in the Real World only a man could be one. He didn't grasp the nuances there lol
The one sort of plothole or inconsistency for me was,
The explanation for how the Kens took over so easily was that the Barbies had never experienced patriarchy before, therefore they were powerless against it.
But when Barbie and Ken went into the real world, she was Immediately scared and uncomfortable and had all her defences up.
Idk
bc barbie didnt try to influence anyone but ken did. also barbieland's population is like way smaller lmfao
Love the Preminger reference with his song “how could I refuse” but sad it was an out take. Preminger best Barbie movie villain ever.
Yes! I laughed my butt off though when I heard it
Huh?
I died when I heard it lol
Your wordless sin removals always warm my heart, and the one-two sin removal at the 8min mark cleared my skin, watered my crops, filled my bank account, and brought me a fluffy Golden Retriever puppy named Hermes who also has a little navy blue scarf.
23:51 The fact that this clip at the end uses a song from “The Princess and the Pauper” for the live action Barbie is amazing and I refuse to believe that it’s just a coincidence. (If my comment doesn’t make any sense to you, “The Princess and the Pauper” was an animated Barbie movie from back in the 2000s and is surprisingly still a good movie to this day.)
0:53 isn't Barbie able to walk on water because her house is a representation of an actual toy Barbie dream house, and in Barbie dreamhouses there's not any actual water in the pool, that also shows why they don't have walls because the dream houses were designed for kids to play on the inside too.
Man, I'm still chilling and waiting for Across the Spider-Verse to get a sin video, not for the sins themselves, but to see the deductions.
Whilst I agree with removing a sin for Ferrara's speech, I feel you should have added one for her having to use the uniquely Ferrara superpower of making a speech at people to move the plot forward. When I saw her name in the opening credits I immediately knew she would make a speech at some point, because it seems to be her typecast role.
Meh- if you got it, flaunt it
The issue I have with this is it plays it like the real world is reversed and Barbie is a toxic man and Ken is her victim. But then Ken losing in order to say it's NOT real world reversed means that message is conflicted
The woke nation enjoyed this movie a lot.
@@kidpuri8589The whole MAGA constituency was offended by this movie because the idea that women don’t need men scares the shit out of you.
@@Antifa_Alexwhy do you think it’s because of that?
@@Antifa_AlexIt’s more like the movie feels like it hates men, sorry not sorry there was a massive vibe throughout.
Honestly my problem with any implication that the barbie world was just the real world reversed is that being ignored or excluded or even patronized (like the kens), is not the same as being systematically abused and repressed.
Then the barbie movie has Barbie and Ken BOTH apologize to one another, as though you could possibly equate Kens being excluded to the Barbies being brainwashed into servitude. It's just a repeat of the narrative that women are to blame for being abused. Like, no, he is not 'kenough', unless "i am kenough' means 'i'm an abusive terrorist'
I love how Mattel cracks on themselves throughout the movie. I laughed so hard in the theater. Ryan Gosling is just too good at being Ken too. 😂
The fact he mentions the man & horse book but not the fantastic delivery of "SUBLIME" in the same scene is sin worthy
The fact that this is a video big enough to have a premiere
8:04 - Not gonna lie, this moment of back-to-back sin removals really got me.
ok
It was such a mid scene, it's so dumb. My guy is just playing woke bingo
Huge respect to you for removing two sins for that exchange between Barbie and the Old lady.
“They had Kate McKinnon and no sapphic moments?”
Do we need to revisit the high heels v Birkenstocks scene? 🤣
Plus, it's funnier to hear Kate McKinnon drool over Ken's privates.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that if Barbie only walks on water and the mermaids swim in the pool... would Barbie be eternally walking on Dua Lipa's head ??
I really miss you guys doing the behind the sins podcast so I know who wrote the script for each video. It was such an amazing peek behind the curtain and it's the only reason I know CinemaSins isn't just one guy
its not?!?!?!?
@@itzkalateral1494 nope. CinemaSins is made up of a whole team of people. They also run TV sins and Commercial sins. 3 narrators, 8 script writers and a whole team of editors
@@itzkalateral1494 listen to Behind the Sins sometime. It's a peek behind the curtain at the people behind the videos
@@itzkalateral1494 also I see that you are subscribed to markiplier. That means you have good taste lol. I've used him as inspiration a lot for my own content. He's definitely one of the best let's players. Also it looks like you're a fan of Gorillaz. Which means you have really really good taste lol
So not even going to point out that Allen goes all Scot Pilgrim on the construction workers.
22:49 i always thought Rhett and Link would be a good Harry and Marv if they ever remade home alone
My interpretation (big word for it tbh) of the doctor scene was that since he thought men ran everything in the real world, only men could be doctors just like no ken would be a doctor in Barbie Land.
I agree, his ingrained bias shifted bc he thought the real world was the total opposite
The fact that Margot Robbie's Barbie gets sold more than any of the other dolls in the movie despite it going entirely against the message this movie has is more egregious than the Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken merch.
shhhhhhh! 😆
I'm glad they pointed out a lot of my issues with the movie too. I personally didn't care for it. I really, really wanted to love it, but it felt like a lot of ideas and not enough structure. Like a string of Barbie themed skits they loosely strung together to turn into a movie. The plot starts out being about Barbie going to the real world to find the girl corrupting her. Then it suddenly is about Ken finding out about the Patriarchy and bringing it to Barbieland. Then it becomes Barbie liberating the other Barbies and tricking the Kens. Then it's about Barbie having an existential crisis and debating on being human or not. It's just a lot. There's some fun scenes and it did get genuine laughs from me but it's definitely not the movie I thought it'd be. Seems like it's more loved by the masses because it's a movement and not a movie but hey, it got people to the theaters and that's important especially nowadays.
best opinion I've seen about the movie so far
It kinda felt like two or three great movies stuffed into one, which resulted in a bunch of wonderful scenes but made the collective a bit of a narrative mess.
I really enjoyed the movie but honestly yeah you’ve got a point. It definitely wasn’t sure which message/plotline to focus on and it didn’t do any of them quite properly as a result
@@JJHeff That was my thoughts exactly.
@@Hana_H Totally. It felt like they weren't able to stick the landing on any of them because they jumped around too much.
My theory about the one F-bomb bleep. I think Mattel demanded it; they had to have buy off for the script and insisted that Barbie can NEVER drop an F-bomb. Which is why they added the MATTEL logo on the censor as a subtle protest.
They didn't bleep it in Canada. She fully says fuckers. My christian coworker refused to let her teenage daughter see it because of that (and the use of Bitch). It's also only rated pg here, cuz everything seems to be rated lower in Canada
From what I understand, combining the f-word with mother can't be used below the R rating because of the verb usage.
I love that you didnt even say anything at the "you're so beautiful " scene. It just doesnt need words
I so agree.
I laugh too hard at “That was a cold move to cast Link”. I didn’t notice before and now cannot unsee it 😂
I didn't notice it until rewatching it here and then a second later he mentions it and I swear I was this close to looking it up
21:30 “Bild Lilli”? ok, we’re all supposed to just skate past the fact that you’ve done the research to KNOW this fact?!? Bro…😂😂😂
At 7:04 when you questioned why they were being printed again-it happens every time you get arrested. Yes, even if it’s the same day. This might vary by state or province but it’s the norm in most police stations. This sin was given in error.
Well, the sin would be just....what finger prints?
Speaking from experience?
I did not know this 😂 I thought was just for movies.
@@jins4200 yes
I was wondering just yesterday when you’d get round to covering Barbie.
Okay but Midge was legit terrifying and VERY problematic. Her stomach REMOVED, the baby popped out and you FLIPPED THE BELLY over to make her "not pregnant"😳😳😳😳
Now that's an action figure!
I had her and I loved her lol
I wonder if that means Midge-Barbie could've just not been pregnant whenever. Just pop the baby out and have her constantly mothering a newborn.... okay I guess that's hardly any less creepy.
How is that _problematic_ in the least? No wonder people don't take y'all seriously.
I love comment sections where, no matter how diverse the viewpoints are, still, everybody IS right in one way or the other
The shade against Portland is so perfect that I’m sitting here in amused shock. Holy FUCK, CinemaSins, you hit it on the head! God damn, that was just perfect.
I am surprised you didn't add a sin for the quite aggressive General Motors sponsorship in this movie
Oh I saw that
21:51 That's a little bit of Douglas Adams humour in my day, thank you.
Actually pregnant barbie can give birth via C-section i had her as a kid. The baby is inside a dome against the belly. You jus take the dome off.
Which makes the film slightly dark
Ah, the old 'exit via the sunroof' method!
@@the_once-and-future_king. 😂
SAME. My mom didn't know you could take her belly off she was very suprised when I did lol
8:04 CinemaSins being wholesome 101
23:49 ngl, I was not expecting a Preminger reference, but props for doing your homework and 10/10 no notes
16:20 my mum cry laughed at the wall building scene lmao it lives rent free in my head now
12:59 couldn’t agree more. As much as I ADORE this movie, I was really hoping for some rep on this
23:51 I love the usage of dialogue from one of the animated Barbie movies
8:10 yes two sins off without any comments. This is one of my favourite scenes of the movie and this is why I love cinemasins
21:59 "when the human race is wiped out by an asteroid in the year 2141 two weeks before the first interstellar mission is supposed to be launched. As Herman Stanhope stands watching the approaching annihilation of the world, and the neutering of the years of work he put into the interstellar program as its head designer, his last thoughts will be of the irony of space conquering his species just before his species conquered space. "it really does feel like a simulation sometimes", he will think seconds before a giant rock ends not only his life but that stupid idea he just had." that is weirdly specific and funny
6:02 I just noticed the mermaid comes out of her *solid plastic* swimming pool she walked on earlier and never questioned it.
Gotta love Chris Christie's "get the hell off the beach" at the end. I remember that press conference when Hurricane Sandy was coming.
18:51: Yo! Do you even beach, bro? **DING**
im surprised that he didnt remove a sin for the "what was i made for" scene. brought tears to a lot of people in my theatre.
The Hudsucker Proxy bit at the end was hilarious, also the very last one with the CSI sunglasses. Perfect levels of niche hilarity!
That Rhett and Link sin was good 😂
I saw the premiere preview image and mistook it for the actual video. Now how am I supposed to sleep tonight?!
Me too!
I hope he does a Bonus Round on the word "patriarchy".
Those La La Land references at the end were just golden.
Okay. The addition of Preminger's song from Barbie: Princess and the Pauper in the end/bloopers made my entire day.
The “We have to go back Kate” outtakes makes me laugh every time 😂
Actually, they didn't have the jumpers produced quickly. They set up a pre-order website and shipped them out by the end of September :D Love mine sm
That's why it got a sin
me watching this in my kenough hoodie lol
23:02 “Get the hell off the beach” killed me 😭
The “I’m just Ken” scene is too funny to sin
Like how he sinned the only scissoring reference they were able to sneak in.
When was that? I didn't catch it.
I'm guessing the homage to Monty Python and The Holy Grail's horse riding style was too easy?
I had no idea that CinemaSins knew that the straight-to-video Barbie movies existed. I might've gasped a little out loud when I heard "It's...a...TEMPorary setback" ❤️❤️
the fact you didn’t take a sin off for the ken dance or the depression barbie advert is a sin.
Beauty standards aren't based on Barbie, Barbie is based on beauty standards because you would want your doll to be beautiful. Otherwise you'll end up with Chucky dolls everywhere.
I’m surprised you didn’t do a Cinema Sins review of Oppenheimer as well. I think that would have been a nice companion piece.
They're probably working on it, don't worry.
21:46 Is only rivaled by the speed at which that hoodie *sold out.*
Great video I’d give it a Ken-out-of-Ken.
The two back to back sin removals at the “you’re so beautiful” “I know it” scene actually made me tear up again 😭
OmG that one where they equate LA to the rest of the world had me cough spitting with laughter..that one was worth a hundred sin points alone🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️😂
Surprised there wasn't a sin asking how Ken and Barbie got out of jail twice in one day without any explanation of how they got out
Thank you for the preminger reference at the end
Not catching the Space Odyssey reference at the beginning is so upsetting
Oh dayum you are so RIGHT!
While we're still around Thanksgiving, can you do Planes, Trains and Automobiles?
God dammit, the first Thanksgiving where I finally forget that gut-wrenching fackin movie, & here you go, reminding me all over again.
Besides, the sins removed for the final scene would send the Sin Tally into negative territory.
Lol première on the 23th on 2023 and the movie lasts for 23 minutes 😂 cinemasins I frigging love you guys for time stuff like this ❤
The twenty-thirth?
2:19 - funny. I was totally expecting a "this extended dance sequence goes on for all the some time". I thought I knew you, Cinema Sins.
Well I think he got bit by the woke mob and is scared to be “cancelled”.
18:27 This is just like when Parvati Shallow led her Black Widow Brigade in Survivor Fans vs Favorites.
13:45 it took me a couple times to realize that this was a joke at not being able to see John Cena 😂
I'm only in the comment section to see if anyone commented about that clearly underrated joke.
22:54 bro jus spit facts
Thank you for saying "it could also be a boy" and with such empasis. I hated how the movie skipped boys and centered only girls as their play posibility.
LOL love the CSI music at the end with Ken and the sunglasses.
@ 22:19 So, Rock does beat anything 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ken should have his own spin off movie.
It’s only fair.
i mean, no, thats the point.
@@denamaKen was by far the highlight of the movie
And he should be played by Ryan Gossling and the plot should be from Jane Austen's book Persuasion. Ken/Ryan should be Capitain Wentworth, a rejected love interest of the heroine (Anne/Barbie), comming back with riches and still good looking, and her regretting for rejecting him before. It would be a nice sequel... Maybe
