Barbie (2023) Movie Reaction!!

[@RaggedyPack]

This movie was so good, it was SUBLIME! Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling knocked it out the park as Barbie and Ken! What did you think? We have a Discord you can join to chat with us! ➡ discord.gg/HQFtGkCf37 And full length reactions here! ➡ www.Patreon.com/raggedypack

People who say this movie is about hating men or anti-motherhood either didn't get it or have not seen it. It's a commentary about how women are viewed as less than in the real world. But the message is not that women are superior to men, it's that we're equal and each have a purpose. Barbie doesn't just exist to look good and Ken doesn't just exist to be by Barbie's side. They are both worthy of happiness and love as individuals. And America Ferrera's character specifically says that it's okay to "just" be a mum. You don't have to have a career or choose between a career and being a mum. Plus the pregnant Barbie was a real Barbie that was discontinued because people thought the idea of it was funny seeing as she didn't have a vagina. Speaking of, the ending with her going to the gynecologist, now that she has a vagina, is actually genius. Margot Robbie is fabulous as always but Ryan Gosling just took it to another level!

[@joshuacoldwater]

and recognize us that are Allan, because we matter 😂

[@bunnybustard5526]

The dude who went "just take the compliment" to the older woman knowing her worth just proves why we need to reply like that more often. She wasn't being cocky. She knows her worth and sorry if that's intimidating to fragile male egos

[@marklouis1890]

I agree but a little gratitude goes a long way. I did enjoy the woman's response to Barbie's compliment

[@gyllenhaalic21]

The Zach Snyder joke was not cringe! Its did exactly what it needed to do...make me cackle😂

[@theConquerersMama]

Exactly

[@adamjustadam]

I don’t get it. Can someone please explain?

[@amber.ren_1995]

Well they said that “They will give Kens as much power in Barbieland as women have in the real world”. So obviously women’s rights was done along time ago. But like they said in this movie they’re just doing a “better” job at hiding the patriarchy we still do live in a VERY MANS WORLD. So until it is truly/genuinely equally between men and women in the real world the Kens will continue to only have a small part in the governing. But the roles are reversed to show that this is what we women really do deal with and feel the majority of the time in our lives. So they reversed it in this movie to show that men (Ken) dont like being treated that way either. But alot of men do that to women in real life. So the message here is no one likes to be treated that way no matter the gender everyone should be treated equal. 🩷

[@flugsven]

And to reach that goal we need to leave patriarchy behind. It just makes men bitter and women crazy anyway.

[@justadogobeingdogo5766]

Me and a friend took our nieces to this movie expecting nothing but cringe. We came out feeling some how liberated and throughly entertained. I think they funniest part was our nieces went in hyped for Barbie and came out LOVING Ken! 😂 they were singing "I'm just Ken" the whole way home. Now every time my sister yells at me she says, "Stop bullying Uncle he's Ken-enough for me!" 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Going to see this movie with her was the best decision I've ever made!

[@ashleighmodglin]

My whole group went in loving Barbie and came out loving Allen lol

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

@@ashleighmodglinAllen’s a savage.

[@onlyoneofme7]

Never seen Blake smile so much durning a reaction lol... loved iit.

[@You2be4life]

Great discussion guys. It’s nice to see men who actually get this film! 🙌🏼

[@notabritperse]

Good reaction, even though Middleman's response to the Zack Snyder joke is why the joke is funny to many of us.

[@lujin914]

Sounded like he took it personally

[@cl4-tpgaming]

I love that to some people, Snyders DC movies are the holiest of grails, and to the rest of the world it’s the bottom of the barrel. So many shows and movies, comics and games, there laughing at the Snyder cut guys, not with it

[@roxylady109]

I took my niece to see this in the theater when she was in town on break from classes and expected to hate every second or get a good nap in. Was pleasantly surprised by it and really had a fun time watching it! It was such a good time! So glad y'all enjoyed it as well🤘🏻

[@アキコ2003]

Its kinda sad how many people completely missed the message of the movie even though it's quite simple Patriarchy (done by the opposite side) is bad for both men and women People (men) forget the kens are depicting the women of real life

[@shercahn]

The woman who played Ruth (the one who you said voiced Sid) is Rhea Perlman. She was on the show Cheers, also in Matilda, and I also know her from the TV Movie Secret Cuttings. She was also known for being married to Danny Devito but they are no longer together.

[@gigin6534]

34:19 they're not saying the snyder cut of justice league was a bad movie, they're making fun of people that made that movie their entire personality

[@theshadowfax239]

But it was a bad movie

[@gigin6534]

@theshadowfax239 I wouldn't know, haven't watched it

[@kassiogomes8498]

And it is a bad movie lol

[@goldenholdenolden]

Blake’s excitement reflects exactly how I felt leaving the theatre, Barbie exceeded all my expectations and blew Oppenheimer away imo! have you seen Ladybird? same writer/director & would probably be up your alley, similar satirical humor.

[@evanirvana500]

Ok you lost me when you cut out the best speech of the entire movie which was ridiculous since it was in essence what the entire movie was about. No, you wanted to feel sorry for Ken and wanted barbie to get a taste of her own medicine. Tho nothing about that's what women deal with DAILY. But ken, a guy,? Powerless? Omg blasphemy! Typical guy response. And taking out that amazing speech which was 100% accurate by the way sealed it. Did it make you uncomfortable? Good.

[@barrymoreblue]

I knew nothing about this movie until I saw it and I was wonderfully surprised. I could go into so much about this, but for me, the bottom line was they pushed the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated. We learn it from childhood, yet forget it as we get older. Just be nice. Great reaction, guys ❤

[@LovedByYou]

What makes this movie brilliant is all the references to other movies and the entire social commentary running throughout. It’s actually so complex which makes it brilliant.

[@theConquerersMama]

Right??? So, so many references. It's kind of weird/sad at how many people don't get them.

[@g0lddustt29]

20:07 that reaction basically proves everything they said about Ken’s in this movie right

[@emmaebaldwin]

So.. Allan is the only Allan left. He made a point to say the others ran away to our world. I was wondering if Will Ferrel was one. He’s the only Mattel employee who wears pinks, and he seems confused by simple tasks just like Allan was when trying to climb over the cubicle vs running around the aisle.. where Allan tried climbing over the cafe fence instead of walking around to the sidewalk. Just something to think about!

[@anastasia.00]

"you will taste your own medicine" i feel like there's an enourmous difference between how the Kens were living under the Barbies and how the Barbies are made to live under the Kens. just a feeling toh, maybe you didn't quite catch it huh 😀

[@HusbandoCollector]

Of course men won't get it loll

[@cookies6455]

Yep. It's interesting how men consistently dismiss how mistreated women are by men.

[@hethmarie]

Midge and Allan are married with a kid in their full storyline. The movie has her discontinued and Allan has a line near the beginning about being confused that he is alone and his anger and wanting to escape makes total sense as this world denies him his happy ending.

[@selfscience]

For me the Zack Snider cut was the best joke of the movie.

[@kristianberg4264]

God, that last scene with Ruth & Barbie was ruined and wasted on you three and all of you let the deeper meaning of this movie, sadly fly over your heads.

[@cl4-tpgaming]

Took me a minute that kens profession is beach, as in Beach Ken, this movies is genius

[@bibliophilelady6106]

There was this one cryptic headline when Barbie came out like, Did this Barbie joke go too far?" and they avoided repeating it in the article so I was left having no idea what it was. I thought maybe it was the Justin Timberlake is an Allan joke. I literally had no idea that men cared THAT much about the Snyder cut of Justice League. It totally works in the context of this movie though. Men apparently care so so much about it and women are not even aware that it is important to you until they are brainwashed to think like you. If I was brainwashed to think like a man, I would expect my thoughts to be about b00bs and snacks, not a DC movie.

[@lafatte24]

LMAO an ex of mine and at least 2 other dudes i've been on tinder meetups with rave about the Snyder cut. What's funny is, your last sentence just illustrates how there is a male and female gaze and we often confuse our perception with reality. Women think men only care about boobs and snacks and cars, and while true, that's as much of a stereotype/extreme as men thinking women only care about clothes and makeup and nails or some shit.

[@theshadowfax239]

Imagine getting so upset over a crappy movie 😂

[@tonihagan6330]

I loved the movie. It went deep. Great lessons. It was hilarious. Ryan's Ken was my favorite character. He did a great job in the role. ❤❤ You guys should check out the deleted scenes when they become available. They are great. Fun time.

[@LuizVieiraPintoNeto]

I love everything about this. lmao edit1: this movie rocks btw. Went in not expecting anything and got out like, wow.

[@RaggedyPack]

Same here! Definitely one of my favorites!! - Blake

[@theConquerersMama]

I knew all the people connected to it made quality films I like but I didn't know exactly what to expect. I knew it wasn't a kids movie.

[@TJ2T-MAL]

They're called Cootie Catchers

[@RaggedyPack]

I had an allergic reaction to something a day prior to when we recorded this. So if my face looks a little bit swollen, that's why. On the bright side, I think it suits the movie -Corey

[@shercahn]

Allergic reactions like that isn't good but I didn't notice anything for you. Glad your better though!

[@thomasscott920]

It’s funny that all 3 guys have pink backgrounds.

[@JackNapierDe]

How about watching '2001 A Space Odysey' for the opening references

[@marlon-eric]

That's a nice shirt on the left. Dudes should wear pink more often.

[@beautybysaranwrap]

Blake’s smile my god😩😍

[@theConquerersMama]

It hurts my heart just how many young people miss the 2001 references among other ones.

[@flugsven]

I was a bit surprised at how stone faced you were, but I guess we all have different humor. I'm an old mum after all (to two young men) I thought it might be silly, but I loved the goofyness. I laughed so hard I almost choked immediately, and it also stirred something. I realised I Had to watch it again to get the finer points. There were a lot cleverly hidden beneath the humor, while some messages were kicked like hard balls in your stomach. Ken's journey was rough but ended on a wholesome note. It was harder than I thought it would be to analyse the movie because we are in two worlds with quite different rules. But why the Kens were kind of forgotten, it was because the girls playing with Barbie weren't that into Ken. He was like another purse, or furniture... Barbie didn't know better. She was a doll and behaved like the girls played her to be. It's not until they go into the real world they get some autonomy and new perspectives. I thought it was fun and okey when I left the movie theatre, but now I love it.

[@Mangolite]

Greta Gerwig is often considered a feminist filmmaker, with her films surrounding female protagonists facing issues with identity, independence, and the challenges women face. Gerwig’s approach to storytelling and character development often reflects feminist principles, emphasizing the complexity and agency of her female characters. However, Barbie is written by her and her husband, Noah Baumbach, which gives the male character Ken an ample backstory to Barbie’s struggles. It balances out both narratives about how the real world is versus Barbieland when women are empowered. In the end, Barbie wants to be a real woman, and Ken wants to be himself outside of Barbie’s shadow. If Blake likes Will Ferrel here, he must check out The Lego Movie (2014). It’s also an unexpected gem of a film.

[@PattisKarriereKarten]

I found the Zack Snyder Justice League line hilarious 😂 Really great reaction. ❤

[@flugsven]

Ps. I like movies I can go and analyse for a week or so. This is not the kind of movie I thought I would carry with me, but I did.

[@ge_mig_nat_som_kanns]

The beach scene is so funny. Actually, the whole kendom thing is like when your brother wanted to join you when you played with the Barbies. ”Nooo! You’re doing it wrong! The Playmos/GI joes don’t belong in Barbieland. Moooom!”

[@theConquerersMama]

Yes! People miss that Gloria said she never got a Ken. So in her "verse", Ken is essentially still in a box as an accessory to be played with by a little brother. In fact, most of the dolls present as being the way they were played with. That's why Weird Barbie is more curious and other Barbie & Ken's are closer. But they are all pretty much a prepubescent's idea of adults.

[@alibabaghanoujtv]

Here to see Blake simping on The Gosling and he delivers in less than 4 minutes. Thanks!

wlll ferrell did have a serious role that he played off really well in a movie called Stranger Than Fiction just fyi :)

[@shinca5044]

***Peaceful Disclaimer: I amsimplysharingmythoughts, knowledge, and experiences. I respect anyone who has different belief systems and lifestyles.*** I just realized how the topic of Ken and Barbie realizing how they can live on their own, have their own separate identities, etc, can be said for many other topics. I began thinking about how famous the color pink is, but not purple or other colors. The same with the color blue. Also, the fact that it is nearly a sense of pressure to place only those two colors on children because those are the only colors that have been mostly promoted onto clothing, etc. for infants and kids. Maybe the same can be said about the nearly permanent conditioning of what skin color and culture is more favored. Yet, with all that colors and the such, everyone can just simply learn to love their identity. BTS came out a long while back with the words and CD series called "Love Yourself" (YL). The Barbie world song also made Mattel create the new 3d Barbie films and shows. I am unsure if that is why they made this film. Loved your reactional honesty to this film. I too believe Ken is kenough as he is and will become. I believe that for each of you as well💜 ***Peaceful Disclaimer: I amsimplysharingmythoughts, knowledge, and experiences.

Ryan was in the Notebook, he was the male lead.

[@salmaben6602]

I don't get why the speech part was removed from the reaction.

[@Diceymixer]

Will Ferrell actually played a pretty serious rule in the movie? Everything Must Go. That'd be the Adam Sandler serious role you guys were talking about. And he knocked it out of the park I thoughtThat'd be the Adam Sandler serious role you guys were talking about. And he knocked it out of the park I thought.

Wil Ferrell in "Stranger Than Fiction" was a great serious movie, it's really sweet and not slapstick

Will Ferrel plays a serious character in Casa De Mi Padre and he speaks in Spanish the whole movie.

Crazy, stupid love is my fav Ryan gosling movie! It is such a fun movie, you guys should check it out

[@CjCaday]

Wow i love this reaction

[@checkmattee222]

At 34:08 why did you guys cut out the entire speech scene? 35:07 is not an over reaction since men do the same thing to women in the real world Also 54:58 they said the kens kinda have rights now but its a working progress because they are mirroring what is happening in the real world where women kinda have rights now but its a working progress too lol

[@RaggedyPack]

We have to for copyright reasons. If there’s a scene we just watch and don’t react to then we cut it out - Blake

Awww its okay if u liked The Zack Snyder Cut hon 😂😂 its okay

[@brieezy.]

Blake are you one of the handfuls of men in the world that still don’t think pink is cool? Well, I really do not preferred to refer to anyone as mommy or daddy because that’s just weird and stupid and any other insult. I can think of to be wrong about those terms to refer to people- but yeah surprisingly I haven’t really seen any other movies with Ryan Gosling except maybe the notebook and he was nowhere near as iconic in that movie, but for some reason I want to say it was also written by Noah Bomback, I don’t know if that’s right or not a lot of things were happening around that time But this is definitely movie of the year and it Ryan is definitely the goat of this movie

[@erikperhs_]

Some people just don't wear a lot of color haha

[@RaggedyPack]

I think my closet is made up of white black red and blue lol! Not that I don’t think pink is cool I just don’t have anything really outside of those four colors - Blake

You cut the ENTIRE monologue about how hard it is to be a woman? Most cishet male reactors can't even sympathize with what was said. Which is why what was said is SO important. So disappointing 😞 34:16

[@JonatasBrx]

This movie was so bad and cringe. The only thing good it was Ken. He really saved this movie.

[@rivermistfae]

Okay! I see y'all. I truly did enjoy this film, though the plot and dialogue felt a little bit "first drafty" for all the hype it got. That's my only gripe at all. That, and after attending DragonCon this year, I never want to see another Barbie Cosplay or hear "Hi Barbie!" again. 😂

[@katiepooh2137]

Ill be honest, at first i didn't wanna see it cuz all the political stuff surrounding it that i heard. Im leave that out of entertainment unless its particularly pertaining to that stuff. I misinterpreted all that stuff and i love it!!

Art is political. It's impossible to make art and be impartial.
