Ok, I have to say it. Having most reactors to this movie be a bunch of monochromaticly dressed guys with one pink girl at each side is the most unintentionally funny thing you've ever done in this channel.
That line from McKinnon, "I just gave you a choice to make you feel like you're in control" is such a deep and epic line. so much meaning in that line imo
"Ken is acting the way I think Ryan Gosling does." Look, I'm not saying this is true or false, but I encourage everyone to go watch some of Ryan Gosling's interviews because his Kenergy was off the charts long before Barbie. His Graham Norton interviews and his interviews with Harrison Ford are particularly chaotic.
I thought it was a reference to ww2 how all the men had to fight and the women stayed and basically took care of the country (how the barbies took over the realm) and the consequence of that was women getting more freedom since men saw that women actually can do stuff, what made stuff more equal

16:20 Margot Robbie did not put on that outstanding performance as Tonya Harding just for you to only realize she’s a good actress in Barbie 😭 (ofc she did amazing as Barbie as well)
"I don't control the railways or the flow of commerce!" For the life of me, I took my kid to a movie and did fuckin' ever expect a Mussolini joke. Barbie was smarter than anyone could have expected.
its an old one which surprised me. "At least Mussolini made the trains run on time." a gag from the literal 60's. the movie really treated the audience like it was smart.@@waewae

So I've been thinking about the Kens Dreamhouse thing. I found out recently that Barbies Dreamhouse was released almost 10 years before a single woman could own property in the states. Until 1974 women needed their husbands to cosign in order to purchase a home. When Ken was released he had the more important jobs (pilot to barbies stewardess or doctor to barbies nurse) bu this soon changed in favor of a woman's rights bent. Ken never got a house because there was never a need to message that they should. The movie shows barbieland as a kind of inversion of the male gaze. The men are the accessories w no rights or importance socially in the way that women were at the toys conseption. The struggle that the Kens go thru is a bizaroland inversion of the struggle women had in the real world. Many women took feminism to an extreme and wanted a matriarchal world rather than the egalitarian message at the core of feminism. The movie is careful to show that matriarchy is not much better than patriarchy.
"Many women took feminism to an extreme and wanted a matriarchal world" What? conservatives portray feminist struggles that they dont like as such, but every major feminist struggle and movement, including those labeled "extreme", was about achieving equality.
@@Sapphire_Reactsto be fair I don’t think the final discussion included enough say from the guys as they assumed it was only empowering women but it was saying men get overlooked in certain cases too. Woman are pushed in society unfairly focused on looks. Ken was shocked people even cared about him. Some men feel women look at them like their the ugliest men on earth if their not rich successful etc. men fear approaching woman for fear as said that they will be called creep.etc. Woman fear men due to them thinking any of them could be a creep. Most people are just normal though. It works best when you realize one or the other isn’t correct. They both need to work together and understand each other. Everyone is worthy of respect. I feel the woman in reaction were hit home by the film but it was also about men and finding their own identity besides trying to impress pretty woman. Woman expect certain things in society from men as well and we need to help each other not follow that and make us all happy and comfortable. I remember in a video rana said she never hit in a guy in her life when all the men in the group had said they need to approach woman since woman never approach. That type of thinking built that mentality that sadly we deal with. Aka cat calling. Approaching woman who hate it. Etc. overall it’s unfair but we just all gotta work and value each other Idk.
@@lauvasquez8030 the movie is good since so many can get so much out of it. Still not sure why people hate it so much.

This movie did a good job of making it all seem pink and girly but also touch on the topics of toxic masculinity very well. And not just in the sense of how it's bad, but how it also affects us men. So several guys like him went to watch it with a girlfriend or something but walked out vibing to "am I kenough". He responded well to it too.

Cat calls do happen back to back to back sometimes, and you don't have to be wearing a dayglo thong. For most women I know, it starts in the gradeschool ages. For me, it started when I was 7 years old, from men in their 40s who just saw me playing outside. Guys should attend a girls' night where women just tell their cat calling/creepy men stories. It will make you see the world in a new way.
@@em8066 oh no definitely I’m a dude myself, but I just wonder what’s goes through a person’s mind when they do something like that. Like desperation? Idk
@@Enter_Zoneless Power play, show of dominance, especially if it wins points among a group who have a permissive culture. Side note, I just saw an interview with Greta Gerwig about the catcalling scene. The Normies mentioned one of Shapiro's main criticisms is that the scene was unrealistic. Welp, apparently while filming the scene, actual bystanders were responding to the actors the same way the scene was presented. No one got in groping range of Margot, but they were looking her body up and down, while congratulating Ryan for his bold outfit. Margot was the object, Ryan was the cool guy. Of course, Shapiro won't believe Greta's dirty lady mouth. ;)
Loved the girls ranting about being catcalled, yes it happens and its weird!!!! The males in this couch were amazing, some I knew immediately they would like allan, bc they are like allan in real life based on what ive seen in the channel, great reaction, love the movie, love women power, thanks the lads that are allies ❤
@@carolinalins To each their own, i just dont like propoganda. Oppenheimer and Barbie came out at about the same time and somehow Barbie was more political
@IamAmygdala well Oppenheimer was marketed more towards men and the men liked it so no biggie. Barbie was marketed towards women. Women liked it! But a lot of men did not... therefore because men didn't like it it became a big deal. 😀
Who cares? She is so freaking hot, it's worth every minute she's on screen. Nobody cares but about .5% of society who will complain about anything anyways. The other 99.5% of us, and all males and people who find smoking hot women attractive, loved this casting choice
@@CoryGasawayNot only did you completely miss the joke, but the fact you had to come in and mansplain how it didn't matter because she's attractive? Even more meta.
IDK If anyone mentioned this yet but the woman on the bench is Ruth's daughter... Barbara Handler. It was indeed a HUGE cameo, as she IS the OG OG Barbie.
I really liked the fact that everyone watching had so many interesting takeaways to add to the discussion of the movie. It's so interesting to see how every perspective shines light on different facets of what the movie has to offer. I'm especially glad that everyone had such a great time and all came away with an appreciation of it, especially when I could see the trepidation on some of the faces of the group before it started.
I just looked this up but apparently, Ken's black friend's name was Brad and he was Christie's boyfriend. I had a Christie doll but never even heard of Brad lol
i had a christie doll but i had a black ken doll but since my mom only brought one ken doll. i had to share with my sister so we turned him into essentially a man hoe & often had him beheaded. after watch the barbie movie i feel bad for how i treated him
We are so blessed as a society to live in a world where movies like this exist, which inspire such deep and existential questions such as "what if the moon were a disco ball?"
Don't worry, I'm a grown man and cried multiple times at the movie. Every important person in my life is a woman, from being raised by a single mother, to my partner, to people who have guided and shaped me in my life. To see a movie just perfectly depict what I can only imagine as a minefield of life for women was so emotional.
If they haven't reacted to Sex Education, they definitely should. Navi, three actors from Sex Education were in this movie (Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, and Connor Swindells), which was the main reason why i wanted to see this movie! Everybody should've worn pink for this movie night!🥰 So glad you guys enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed the movie more while you guys reacted to it!😄😁💕💕💖
@@MichaelaEvans Isn't that how all youtube reactors function? One person brings up a movie and the other person or group acts as if they have never seen it whether they plan to react to said movie or not.

Thank you guys, for CLEARLY having a talk with Pat before the movie reaction. He looks like he's holding the urge to agree with the kens and throw misogynistic lines every 5 seconds

Great reaction! It’s a shame you didn’t get to experience this in the Cinema - I’ll never forget the experience of everyone dressed up in pink. The way I was literally in tears as the end
That happy song in Barbie's car is "Closer to Fine", by lesbian duo Indigo Girls and was a big hit in 1989. Really funny when contrasted with Ken's song.
The line about Kens slowly gaining more power in Barbie land is not meant to say "this is how it should be". It was drawing attention to how unfortunate the whole thing is. It's bad in our world, and it was equally bad in their world.
I think it was epic to have Leslie Hendrix play the doctor that Ken talked to because she played the main medical examiner on the OG Law and Order. She's just awesome in the role and I can't imagine that wasn't intentional casting.
A real masterpiece. I really liked the message of self discovery and self esteem for Barbie and Ken. Margot Robbie performed her butt off. Such an amazing talent.
@@thialhoinj1971it was basically telling us that patriarchy and matriarchy are both bad. The barbieworld before patriarchy was similar to the current day world with the uprising of feminism leaving men behind and not caring about them. "It's all about barbies and kens are just there cause men don't need empowerment" and yea patriarchy is just bad for women. its a cool message thats doesn't force the idea that we're equal (as in the same) but different.
@@thialhoinj1971 There is a profound difference between not liking the movie and going around lying that it's anti men. If you didn't like the movie, fine I get it. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea. But let's not pretend that half the internet lied about this movie and its view on men and trying turning people away from it as a result.
@@kc_h7hWhile I agree that both are harmful to the society, I’d like to point out that matriarchy is not a direct opposite of patriarchy. While in the former, women are expected to lead, men do not feel unsafe in a matriarchal society. Whereas in patriarchy, like majority of societies now, women are not just neglected, they feel unsafe as well just how it was pointed out in the movie.
22:41 gen z quite literally grew up on the early 2000’s barbie movies… me and my friends had literally every barbie known to (wo)man 😭 the youngest of gen-z may have missed out on that experience a little bit, but like… they definitely still sell barbie’s and little kids definitely still play with them.
ANOTHER FUN FACT: At the end of the movie, America Ferreras husband said “Si se puede”, which is a famous tag line from America’s first movie I think, Gotta Kick It Up!! A sweet lil gem!!! Very sneaky lol!!
I really liked this movie! I got taken to it by my GF. (I'm a guy) Had no expectations just a nice evening out. I found it to be refreshing and great. Surprised to hear that people were giving it bad reviews. Our cinema was full of adults and kids. So I'm glad younger people got to see it.
22:51 Oh damn ,thats why I recognized America Ferrera's voice 😱 I closed my eyes and all I can hear is her animated character "Astrid Hofferson" from the "How To Train Your Dragon" franchise ❤🤟 cool that her career is going strong 🤟❤
There isn’t a girl on the planet that didn’t take off Barbie and Ken’s clothes to see what was there. 😁 The guys who whined and complained about the Barbie movie are delicate provocateurs with big mouths. It was a great movie.💖💖💖💖💖
@53:45 "That happens still?"......... Well, that is exactly why we needed that Barbie movie! and why all the boys need to be sat in front of it. Could be shown in sex ed classes for a start.
My "I am Kenough" hoodie arrived yesterday. It is very nice and well made (though I did have to remove a bunch of fuzz from my shirt after wearing it - gasp!).
Oh fuck yeah. I was hoping you guys were doing this. Fun Fact: Due to the production of this movie, California ran out of pink paint entirely for a while.
I have a Barbie Birdcage for Halloween where they are all in costumes, a Mummy Mommy, a werewolf, Bride of Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, Medusa. I entered it in the State Fair in Oklahoma, but it was a little too tall for a centerpiece. I had fun watching people look at it and there were a lot of people who thought it was sacrilege to do that to a Barbie, but I got them all at Thrift stores.
This was a really fun react to watch. Good discussion points and a very honest and balanced analysis of the film. Also, the MerKen comment made me choke on my drink 😂😂.
38:40 Mark! Remember that they had to avoid repeating the "Ken & Barbie" storyline material already in use by the "Toy Story" franchise! Ken still has brown hair in those movies!
loved watching your reactions. I am 74 and it has always been scary when guys act aggressive about women and each other. Even now my husband tells me not to talk to strange men when I am out by myself. I do, but as I walk away I want to kick myself as I hear my husbands voice in my head. Have fun and be kind. Don't vote for men that abuse women and children, Everyone matters.
I like how the movie even inside touches that a product isn't going to solve the sexism problems of the world so it wasn't going to try or preach. Instead it only showed the reality with humor to not be too heavy and the bad of both extremes like the speech at the end of how you are expected to represent all women all the time. Also that Mattel doesn't care as long as it makes them money at the end so go ahead and roast them
I don’t know if somebody already commented this but Suraj that was America Ferrara from SisterHood of the Traveling Pants and How to Train your Dragon as the voice of Astrid
Movie is awesome! End up enjoying Barbie way more than I thought. Though the Fast fashion is pissing me off from fans. Fans that would buy pink clothes for the movie only to toss/never wear it again...
IM KENOUGH! Greta is able to strike between msg and entertainment. Its still a miracle that the usual "anti woke" warriors were not able to campaign and destroy the movie like they usually try to. For some any msg/diversity is too much already. Also theres a set dressing video about Barbie thats fantastic!
anti woke warriors? is that your attempt to create something akin to sjw label? that's weak. also not sure what you just saw, but gosling stole the show. but to each their own I guess.
It was a sex education reunion in the Barbie movie … you got Eric Playing Ken you got Mave playing psychologist Barbie ( that’s why it was cool when he said I just miss my friend Barbie and it was just Mave an Eric ) then the Mattel employee whos running around with the executives is Adam from Sex Ed !!
I hate that the people who criticize the movie as feminist or for women only clearly haven't watched it or watched it biased just looking for things to hate. When the central theme of the movie is literally about the struggles patriarchy create for both women AND men, and how we're not even that different. That speech the mom gives at the end is literally how men feel too. This movie was empowering and great for everyone to see it, and "I am Kenough" is a great slogan for men.
Ok, I have to say it. Having most reactors to this movie be a bunch of monochromaticly dressed guys with one pink girl at each side is the most unintentionally funny thing you've ever done in this channel.

His Graham Norton interviews and his interviews with Harrison Ford are particularly chaotic.

lets face it Ryan Gosling stole the show, he was amazing through the whole movie.
"I will be your Ken for his story must be told."
Apparently the bit where he walks away while glaring at Barbie only to finally turn away dramatically, was inspired by his toddler daughter.

@@Enter_Zoneless Power play, show of dominance, especially if it wins points among a group who have a permissive culture. Side note, I just saw an interview with Greta Gerwig about the catcalling scene. The Normies mentioned one of Shapiro's main criticisms is that the scene was unrealistic. Welp, apparently while filming the scene, actual bystanders were responding to the actors the same way the scene was presented. No one got in groping range of Margot, but they were looking her body up and down, while congratulating Ryan for his bold outfit. Margot was the object, Ryan was the cool guy. Of course, Shapiro won't believe Greta's dirty lady mouth. ;)
Started at 9 years old for me.
Loved the girls ranting about being catcalled, yes it happens and its weird!!!! The males in this couch were amazing, some I knew immediately they would like allan, bc they are like allan in real life based on what ive seen in the channel, great reaction, love the movie, love women power, thanks the lads that are allies ❤
This movie was literally about hating men, not sure what it was trying to accomplish.
@@IamAmygdala maybe try reading serious reviews if you watched and didn’t understand, then watch again and come back with a better critical sense 💕
@@carolinalins To each their own, i just dont like propoganda. Oppenheimer and Barbie came out at about the same time and somehow Barbie was more political
@carolinalins this was such a beautifully mature response! 👏 I love that!
@IamAmygdala well Oppenheimer was marketed more towards men and the men liked it so no biggie. Barbie was marketed towards women. Women liked it! But a lot of men did not... therefore because men didn't like it it became a big deal. 😀
I was just at DragonCon and so many dressed as the Ken in the fur coat. A lot of Barbie this year too.
“Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point.”
Who cares? She is so freaking hot, it's worth every minute she's on screen. Nobody cares but about .5% of society who will complain about anything anyways. The other 99.5% of us, and all males and people who find smoking hot women attractive, loved this casting choice
@@CoryGasaway It's a meta joke....
@@CoryGasaway someone totally missed the point
@@CoryGasaway oh my god. How do you miss the joke and message THAT badly?
@@CoryGasawayNot only did you completely miss the joke, but the fact you had to come in and mansplain how it didn't matter because she's attractive? Even more meta.
Ryan Gosling had a Halloween band, he can really sing!
I play Dead Mans Bones more than any other album it is SO good
@@mars_maydaytoo bad they only have the one album 😢
I will never get tired of reactions to this movie. This is my first time watching you guys and I wasn’t disappointed.
Ryan Gosling went so hard in this film!
the simultaneous group reaction to Weird Barbie's fortune-teller is so fun and wholesome
IDK If anyone mentioned this yet but the woman on the bench is Ruth's daughter... Barbara Handler. It was indeed a HUGE cameo, as she IS the OG OG Barbie.
I really liked the fact that everyone watching had so many interesting takeaways to add to the discussion of the movie. It's so interesting to see how every perspective shines light on different facets of what the movie has to offer. I'm especially glad that everyone had such a great time and all came away with an appreciation of it, especially when I could see the trepidation on some of the faces of the group before it started.
I just looked this up but apparently, Ken's black friend's name was Brad and he was Christie's boyfriend. I had a Christie doll but never even heard of Brad lol
Poor Brad.
@@ImAlsoMerobiba LOL
i had a christie doll but i had a black ken doll but since my mom only brought one ken doll. i had to share with my sister so we turned him into essentially a man hoe & often had him beheaded. after watch the barbie movie i feel bad for how i treated him
@@Sapphire_Reacts lol don’t feel bad; I think we all beheaded our barbies. I like to think of it as artistic expression 😅
Now I want a video essay/the tea on the barbie social lore
Fun fact being allergic to the sun is real happened to my brother temporarily growing up
We are so blessed as a society to live in a world where movies like this exist, which inspire such deep and existential questions such as "what if the moon were a disco ball?"
Don't worry, I'm a grown man and cried multiple times at the movie. Every important person in my life is a woman, from being raised by a single mother, to my partner, to people who have guided and shaped me in my life. To see a movie just perfectly depict what I can only imagine as a minefield of life for women was so emotional.
If they haven't reacted to Sex Education, they definitely should. Navi, three actors from Sex Education were in this movie (Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, and Connor Swindells), which was the main reason why i wanted to see this movie! Everybody should've worn pink for this movie night!🥰 So glad you guys enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed the movie more while you guys reacted to it!😄😁💕💕💖
cant wait for Ncuti Gatwa as the new doctor!!!
If they talked about it they must have seen it already
I loved how this movie was just a Sex Education reunion.
@@markcruz359 from the looks of it, only Navi has seen it
@@MichaelaEvans Isn't that how all youtube reactors function? One person brings up a movie and the other person or group acts as if they have never seen it whether they plan to react to said movie or not.
If you're talking about the "negative" reviews, they were basically about grifters who claim that it was "woke and gonna go broke."
It anyone criticizes a movie with themes being "shoved down your throat," don't trust them
Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The movie is woke but works in both ways, amazing colours and costumes.
@@RivalHades-mk1xlwhat’s wrong with it being woke?? yall bitches need to open your eyes and mind cause clearly both are outdated.
Bad replies are bad
I really hope they leave this as a stand alone masterpiece.
I hear you, but part of me wonders if Greta and Noah might catch lightning in a bottle twice? You never know.
Barbie V GI Joe: Dawn of Justice
@@CharlieBrown20XD6 And they have their epic showdown at Legoland
How is this a masterpiece i will never understand
"in a world full of Ken's, be an Allan"
Alan is . . . me?
Thank you guys, for CLEARLY having a talk with Pat before the movie reaction. He looks like he's holding the urge to agree with the kens and throw misogynistic lines every 5 seconds
True
Pat brings nothing of value as well 😂 in any vid I have watched. just a weirdo
pretty mean comment. Pat's solid and means well. Sometimes he's contrarian just to be so.@@Pebblezs
@@katra777 "Guys, why are you hating on the german mustache guy so much. He's solid! He's just a contrarian bro, for reals! You're being pretty mean painting him to be some monster!"
@@s.w.stryker6491 damn, you toxic as hell 😆.
What a fun and great reaction! Loved the discussion at the end, and pulling up the easter egg list to appreciate the references. Great job everyone, looking forward to seeing more!
Don’t forget that the guy who played Gloria’s husband is actually America’s real life husband 😂
Also he said America’s first Disney movie tagline which is an Easter egg, “Si Se Puede”, in Gotta Kick It Up!!!!
They talked about it in the discussion section while going over the buzzfeed article.
Great reaction! It’s a shame you didn’t get to experience this in the Cinema - I’ll never forget the experience of everyone dressed up in pink. The way I was literally in tears as the end
Automatic like for donating to SAG/AFTRA! Very generous of you guys❤️
Wear pink and stand in solidarity with the actors and writers! ✊🏽
I loved this reaction and specially pink shirt woman's one! 💗 I felt everything like her.
That happy song in Barbie's car is "Closer to Fine", by lesbian duo Indigo Girls and was a big hit in 1989. Really funny when contrasted with Ken's song.
I thought Ryan's Ken stood out amongst a stacked cast. Margo was great, but Ken was my favorite. ❤
The line about Kens slowly gaining more power in Barbie land is not meant to say "this is how it should be". It was drawing attention to how unfortunate the whole thing is. It's bad in our world, and it was equally bad in their world.
This movie is truly the epitome of "DANCE FIGHT" energy... 😏🤔🤯
Watching this in my “I am Kenough” hoodie is the best vibe of my week 😂
I think it was epic to have Leslie Hendrix play the doctor that Ken talked to because she played the main medical examiner on the OG Law and Order. She's just awesome in the role and I can't imagine that wasn't intentional casting.
A real masterpiece. I really liked the message of self discovery and self esteem for Barbie and Ken. Margot Robbie performed her butt off. Such an amazing talent.
"Every criticism I've heard about this movie was now I know super bias."
THANK YOU.
Agree to a point. It wasn't anti male but it was bad.
@@thialhoinj1971it was basically telling us that patriarchy and matriarchy are both bad. The barbieworld before patriarchy was similar to the current day world with the uprising of feminism leaving men behind and not caring about them. "It's all about barbies and kens are just there cause men don't need empowerment" and yea patriarchy is just bad for women. its a cool message thats doesn't force the idea that we're equal (as in the same) but different.
@@thialhoinj1971 There is a profound difference between not liking the movie and going around lying that it's anti men.
If you didn't like the movie, fine I get it. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea. But let's not pretend that half the internet lied about this movie and its view on men and trying turning people away from it as a result.
@@kc_h7hWhile I agree that both are harmful to the society, I’d like to point out that matriarchy is not a direct opposite of patriarchy.
While in the former, women are expected to lead, men do not feel unsafe in a matriarchal society. Whereas in patriarchy, like majority of societies now, women are not just neglected, they feel unsafe as well just how it was pointed out in the movie.
@@supersuede6493 Of course!

22:41 gen z quite literally grew up on the early 2000’s barbie movies… me and my friends had literally every barbie known to (wo)man 😭 the youngest of gen-z may have missed out on that experience a little bit, but like… they definitely still sell barbie’s and little kids definitely still play with them.
right like the oldest of gen z is literally turning 26 next year 😭
31:30 that’s Alexandra Shipp, storm from X-men apocalypse and dark Phoenix
Funny they used her to make the Justice League joke.
Spidey’s face when Mattel calls Barbie a jezabelle.
Cat callers are the internet trolls of the real world
47:26 Mark! Maybe the Kens collectively did enough action in this movie to be reclassified as "action figures"? 🤔
Theres literally alternate realities in this movie yet the IRS is still the most powerful thing in this film. XD
ANOTHER FUN FACT: At the end of the movie, America Ferreras husband said “Si se puede”, which is a famous tag line from America’s first movie I think, Gotta Kick It Up!! A sweet lil gem!!! Very sneaky lol!!
I really liked this movie! I got taken to it by my GF. (I'm a guy) Had no expectations just a nice evening out. I found it to be refreshing and great. Surprised to hear that people were giving it bad reviews. Our cinema was full of adults and kids. So I'm glad younger people got to see it.
rana's reaction is so relatable 🥲❤
To everyone in the comments,
Can we all just agree that Margot Robbie looks amazing in everything she wears?!?!?!
America’s speech in the movie was inspired by her Ted Talk called, “My Identity is my Super Power”. I highly recommend it.
• Rana - I've never seen it.
• Suraj - You've never seen "The Godfather"?!
I almost died.
Same, & Rana turning to listen, realizing, & appearing annoyed for that split second made it even funnier 💀
Ryan Gosling IS a singer-songwriter and has a band called Dead Man's Bones
"that's zoe kravitz right?' "what did you just say??" LMFAOO 😭
aww, wanted to see Marketta's reaction to this.
I wonder if her and Chris have seen it already
22:51 Oh damn ,thats why I recognized America Ferrera's voice 😱 I closed my eyes and all I can hear is her animated character "Astrid Hofferson" from the "How To Train Your Dragon" franchise ❤🤟 cool that her career is going strong 🤟❤
There isn’t a girl on the planet that didn’t take off Barbie and Ken’s clothes to see what was there. 😁 The guys who whined and complained about the Barbie movie are delicate provocateurs with big mouths. It was a great movie.💖💖💖💖💖
@53:45 "That happens still?"......... Well, that is exactly why we needed that Barbie movie! and why all the boys need to be sat in front of it. Could be shown in sex ed classes for a start.
Love how Will Ferrell is basically playing "Ron Burgandy CEO". His schtick works perfectly! 😂
My "I am Kenough" hoodie arrived yesterday. It is very nice and well made (though I did have to remove a bunch of fuzz from my shirt after wearing it - gasp!).
Ariana Greenblatt who played the daughter also appeared as young Gamora in the MCU and teenage Ahsoka Tano in the Ahsoka series.
Oh fuck yeah. I was hoping you guys were doing this.
Fun Fact: Due to the production of this movie, California ran out of pink paint entirely for a while.
The daughter played young Gamora in Infinity War and young Ahsoka in .....Ahsoka. :)
I have a Barbie Birdcage for Halloween where they are all in costumes, a Mummy Mommy, a werewolf, Bride of Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, Medusa. I entered it in the State Fair in Oklahoma, but it was a little too tall for a centerpiece. I had fun watching people look at it and there were a lot of people who thought it was sacrilege to do that to a Barbie, but I got them all at Thrift stores.
This was a really fun react to watch. Good discussion points and a very honest and balanced analysis of the film.
Also, the MerKen comment made me choke on my drink 😂😂.
Fun fact: Alan is the one who impregnated Midge… do with that fact what you will lol
They did get married first. 😂
I had a friend in high school that married and had a kid at 18 before finding out they were... an Allan, let's say. It happens a lot. Lol
38:40 Mark! Remember that they had to avoid repeating the "Ken & Barbie" storyline material already in use by the "Toy Story" franchise! Ken still has brown hair in those movies!
thats Alexandra Shipp who played Storm in Xmen Apocalypse
Eing allergic to the sun is real. I'm allergic to the sun, I get rashes. Good reaction also!
10K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! ☺️
Notes: Damn autoplay began the next video before I could finish this! Why didn't it just stop?
I just know rana was bawling at the montage when barbie decided to become human, same girl 😭
53:45 my guy... what rock have you been living under?? yes catcalling still happens, good lord.
One of your BEST reactions! Thanks from Sweden. Country of Barbies and Kens.
Suraj: "Ryan Gosling is so good in this lol" Navi: "yeah he looks greatisdoinggood" We see you haha.
It's so awesome Mattel gave Ken his own movie.
they didn't, he just took it
loved watching your reactions. I am 74 and it has always been scary when guys act aggressive about women and each other. Even now my husband tells me not to talk to strange men when I am out by myself. I do, but as I walk away I want to kick myself as I hear my husbands voice in my head. Have fun and be kind. Don't vote for men that abuse women and children, Everyone matters.
I like how the movie even inside touches that a product isn't going to solve the sexism problems of the world so it wasn't going to try or preach.
Instead it only showed the reality with humor to not be too heavy and the bad of both extremes like the speech at the end of how you are expected to represent all women all the time.
Also that Mattel doesn't care as long as it makes them money at the end so go ahead and roast them
Fun Easter egg. Sasha and her friends all had names of the og bratz dolls. They also looked like the dolls
Margot Robbie's swiveling head at the school is already legend.
37:26 Just noticed the invisible horses from Monty Python and the Holy Grail 😂
I don’t know if somebody already commented this but Suraj that was America Ferrara from SisterHood of the Traveling Pants and How to Train your Dragon as the voice of Astrid
girl on the right is so real i cried 5 times when i first saw the movie (your makeup is soo pretty btw!!!)
I love how even though the Billie Elish part was skipped over, u can see how they felt about it 41:47
Thank god Amy Schumer didn't do this
Navi saying “he looks great, he’s great” at beginning of the ken song killed me
People forget the oldest Gen Zers are 26. We played with Barbie’s lmao
Movie is awesome! End up enjoying Barbie way more than I thought.
Though the Fast fashion is pissing me off from fans. Fans that would buy pink clothes for the movie only to toss/never wear it again...
IM KENOUGH!
Greta is able to strike between msg and entertainment. Its still a miracle that the usual "anti woke" warriors were not able to campaign and destroy the movie like they usually try to. For some any msg/diversity is too much already.
Also theres a set dressing video about Barbie thats fantastic!
I mean, they tried. They are still trying.
Oh but they tried lol
The 'Go woke, go broke' crowd are super quiet now considering that Barbie is the most successful WB movie ever.
anti woke warriors? is that your attempt to create something akin to sjw label? that's weak.
also not sure what you just saw, but gosling stole the show. but to each their own I guess.
@@aimanmaraidi2427 bro I don't give any fucks about trite political slogans. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of people who think it's a team sport.
It was a sex education reunion in the Barbie movie … you got Eric Playing Ken you got Mave playing psychologist Barbie ( that’s why it was cool when he said I just miss my friend Barbie and it was just Mave an Eric ) then the Mattel employee whos running around with the executives is Adam from Sex Ed !!
I hate that the people who criticize the movie as feminist or for women only clearly haven't watched it or watched it biased just looking for things to hate. When the central theme of the movie is literally about the struggles patriarchy create for both women AND men, and how we're not even that different. That speech the mom gives at the end is literally how men feel too. This movie was empowering and great for everyone to see it, and "I am Kenough" is a great slogan for men.
Totally agree. This wasn't exclusively a "feminist" movie. Seemed to be way more about just the human condition in general.
All 7 of you need to watch Challengers with a group reaction.
