Oppenheimer shows how to destroy the world, Barbie shows how to build one.

[@checkmattee222]

wow, well said 👏

[@jasonmarbach]

I took my daughters (16 and 10, respectively, when it came out) to the theater to see this movie opening weekend. We all wore pink, it was a whole thing. I expected to like the film. What I did NOT expect was to never go more than 90 seconds in a row in the movie without laughing, crying, or both. An instant top 10 favorite movie all time for me, and *easily* the best movie I saw in 2023. The themes of parenthood (especially raising girls, as a single custodial father who’s done it alone for the last 10 years) and masculinity - toxic and otherwise - and just simply being *good enough* (a self esteem issue I’ve always struggled with), it all just absolutely broke me while I was watching. An absolutely remarkable film, wrapped up in a silly, candy-coated package.

[@AL-fl4jk]

Pretty dope experience to share with daughters!

[@jasonmarbach]

@@AL-fl4jk 100%

I too wore all pink, and seeing all the women there also in pink was amazing. Leaving the theatre, you could hear everyone sniffling and choking down cries. Going into the bathroom to see everyone trying to recover, touch up makeup and complimenting everyone's outfits... it was a whole experience.

[@georgebrandenburg3786]

I am not a parent but i had an unforgettable experience seeing Barbie for the first time. I went with a friend of mine who was having a hard time, to say the least. They loved movies, and I agreed to go out for a day at the theater in all pink, i wore little pink shorts and a pink tank (first time in either) and expected to have a fun day at the movies. I did not expect to have one of the greatest experiences one could ever hope for in a theater in the modern age. A nearly-dead theater in Alaska was packed with people at 12:30 pm, nearly all in costume/pink regalia. We had great seats in the middle of a full auditorium, and the movie blew me away. We all laughed, we cried, and when the credits rolled the audience applauded. I was left feeling absolutely electric. I think it's one of the best films ever made.

[@jasoncinema]

Astutely and succinctly put! And I’ve been a LONGTIME fan of both Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and to see them be given the reins of this, and so we got such a film like this - based on a commercial IP like Barbie and yet it really has heft and substance and something to say about agency and social mores.

[@Water3Monkey]

The ending scene where they have the film footage of the women and their mothers who worked on the film just breaks me every time.

[@sonofmoss]

The older woman she says “you’re so beautiful” to is Oscar winning costume designer Ann Roth

[@Ductos]

She also holds the record as the oldest person ever to win a non-lifetime achievement Oscar for her 2021 win for "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" at 89, beating out the late Ennio Morricone who was 87 when he won for "The Hateful Eight".

[@Reya_Sunshine]

The gyno visit at the end hit me way after I watched the movie for the first time. Instead of cutting to Barbie being pregnant or using the bathroom or something, we see her first big action as a human is to take charge of her reproductive health. I remember being scared shitless when I first got my period, realizing the enormity of what that meant for my life. I'm glad youngsters will have the opportunity to maybe feel empowered by seeing Barbie take charge like this.

[@rootfish2671]

I’m a man and I saw this in the theatre with my male friend and the audience was packed full of women. When the mom gives the struggles of being a woman speech to snap the Barbie out of her trance they all clapped and cheered loudly.

[@Skye_Writer]

That speech is something we all know and live with every day, but I had never heard it fully articulated until this movie.

[@thomasbaker2067]

The casting for the Barbie movie is amazing.

[@MegaP12im3]

I'm about to watch you guys reaction so this is a pre watch comment. I'm a 45 year old male I did love this movie. People that Said it's so "Woke" and women powered agenda. I mean what did you expect we got transformers explosions Megan Fox robots fighting let Barbie be Barbie great film. 10 out of 10

[@circlenowsquared]

I've watched this multiple times and seen so many reactions, it's just...an awesome movie. I can quote it, and I can't see myself getting tired of it any time soon. So glad you guys weren't spoiled for a lot of this and got to enjoy it with us for the first time!

[@Jordashian93]

Barbie was a very fun and engaging film. Margot and Gosling knock it out of the park with their performances. I love the world that this set up and Barbie land fully captured what it means.

[@richardedgerton1852]

I love the cameo of the Bratz dolls.

[@Ar7ifur]

Im so glad you got around to this movie. it is literally my favorite film of all time, and the way they captured the nostalgia so well with the film making and music is just perfect. Not to mention the message it is giving to little girls and even to us adults who needed to hear it. Peak cinema.

[@StoryTimewithMissAnna]

I recently attended a Wheel of Time convention and we had a Pink Ajah Barbie meetup! I had a *moment* when I was surrounded by a chorus of "hi Barbie" where I felt transported to the magical beginning of this movie in Barbieland. 🥰 One woman was wearing a formal gown and had a Barbie in the same dress, and the story was: her mom made the dress for her Barbie when she was a kid, as an adult she found a similar lace and bought 25 yards of it and asked her mom who said yes and made her the same dress the Barbie has. 😍 We were all in love. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Stoney_Snark]

Another fun watch with you two! I saw this movie with two 50+ year ladies. They were dressed all in pink and styled out with wigs and accessories. It made the whole thing a lot of fun. The next night we saw Oppenheimer, which while excellent, couldn’t come close to matching the Barbie experience! Thanks as always!

[@najhoant]

It took me months after watching this to realize that Ken discovering the world of men is set to a cover of "Also sprach Zarathustra" to parallel the "2001" reference with the original Barbie in the opening

[@rootfish2671]

Also that scene where all the Kens say in unison “We can help you!” is a Fight Club reference

[@basicsimp8798]

The movie we need specially during this time. People need to understand that Patriarchy hinders everyone including men.

[@TechnicallyTexan]

YES!!!

[@freakyalien5449]

👏👏👏

[@kellyj.azania4371]

That was so much fun! This week, with my 7-day free trial of Max, I watched it for the first time. Over the last two days, I've actually watched it four times. This film met and surpassed all of my expectations. I adore all of Greta's films; but this is my favorite.💗

[@Photohog4]

I've only just recently watched this movie...and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I didn't play with Barbie dolls but I do remember having the giant Barbie head and shoulders when I was little. I thought the casting was perfect and the writing was clever. I agree it had just the right amount of music/songs in it...and most of all, I loved the voice over by Helen Mirren. I don't recall that being mentioned in any of the buzz around the film, so it was a pleasant surprise. I adore Dame Helen. Can't wait to see what else you guys react to. I know you're catching up on movies, but I would LOVE to see you take on Shogun. I recently finished it and thought it was a beautifully told story. I'm still moved by the ending. You're one of my favorite reactors and I'd really enjoy watching you both discuss and review the show. Finger's crossed you'll give it a chance! 😁

[@stanleysmith2221]

Love Mac laughter at all the great jokes. This was a silly and deep movie. Really beautiful and special.😊😊😊

[@themessyrainbow]

this randomly come up on my channel! and i loved barbie! back in the 90s and right back now.but seeing ou ter up i literally teard up with you it was lovely seeing your emotion, and u really felt it, thankyou! and the set here was incredible, like i think we would both cry if we was on set to! thankyou for being so open to this and i cld tell when i first saw you pink wouldn't be your thing but u appreciate everything, love you guys, peace and love from london city!

[@rogeliolarronda]

31:44 Probably my favorite part of the movie. When I saw it and Allan started fighting I gleefully thought to myself “GO PILGRIM!”

[@MegaWicked89]

33:16 That was basically the reaction everyone gave when I saw the film in theaters!

[@SirGabelton]

THANK YOU! I had the same reaction to when Ken yells ‘SUBLIME!’. Everyone is out here rolling on the floor, and I’m just here like 😐 ok that’s the weird he chose to say?

[@MegaP12im3]

#RyanGosling not Winning the Oscar for Best supporting Male actor in Barbie felt like he got robbed I'm #Kenough

[@alicestevens8291]

I worked at a toy store and when pregnant Midge was released there was this big promotion but we were placing bets as to when it would get pulled. The doll was really creepy. Also it was not the worst one I saw come through. A side note it was not a toy store that had a name that rhymed with "Toys Are Suss" and company name for Barbie was not "The Pink B!tch".

[@rootfish2671]

I looked up the Midge controversy and her boyfriend is Allen so Michael Sera’s character got Midge pregnant in the movie

[@regis387]

really enjoyed your reaction to this film - an instant classic!

[@besupaaa]

I think this movie explained really well how sexism and, yes, the patriarchy affets everyone. Yes it was very surface level but even then a lot of people didn't get it.

[@brucewayne404]

Little Madison looks like the girl from Little Miss Sunshine.

[@GarrettJayChristian]

Wait, have they seen that? I would like a reaction if possible, please. 😁

[@agenttheater5]

33:01 I think it was supposed to be helping explain to a young girl how her body will change, it just didn't work.

[@luciaarnaotorrego6852]

Loved your reaction. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing

[@matthewtopping2061]

40:35 Is he crying?? 😭😭 😂 😂 Seriously though, this movie made me cry multiple times and I don't even know why

[@MegaP12im3]

I remember I got a lot of flack because, I Said I felt sad for Ken because all he wants is to be loved and appreciated and that I related to him and makes me sad.

[@checkmattee222]

aww 😢

[@ScientificallyStupid]

it IS sad for Ken! He shouldn't have to feel that his purpose is tied up in Barbie- he IS Kenough.

[@tomasjallen]

While the focus of the movie is Barbie and her journey it does a great job of lifting up the issue of Ken and his journey too.

[@tree6787]

They really did Ken so dirty in this movie

[@rootfish2671]

You’re not wrong, in Barbie land the gender roles are reversed and Ken was treated how women are treated in the real world. So it was a narrative trick to get the audience to see things from a woman’s perspective

[@MegaP12im3]

5:06 speaking of #MichaelCera can you guys react to Scott pilgrim vs the world. You guys can't do any research in it .just know Michael Cera is in it .

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Not just my fav movie of 2023, not just my favourite Warner Bros Movie but one of my fav movies literally EVER. Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie made a beautiful comfort movie for women and men at the same time. Margot and Greta were totally robbed at the Academy Awards!

[@raidenturner8524]

What the hell happened to skipper did she went back to the barbie world or she stuck in the world world well we get a movie about what happened to her?

[@rootfish2671]

Seeing as how we didn’t see Skipper in Barbie Land she is either in government custody in the real world or is on the run and homeless

[@matthewtopping2061]

Is anyone else reminded of the webseries Don't Hug Me I'm Scared when watching this movie?

[@peaug]

little madison is so cute!!!!!!

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

Ken was always an accessory. I am going to finish watching this, but I don't understand why people think Ken should be an object in a matriarchy. Ken's had nothing, just beach. Greta Gerwig chose "sublime", Ryan Gosling said something different on every take and that is why Margot was almost about to laugh when he said 'sublime". Ryan has been singing since before the Mickey Mouse Club.

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

Got this awesome movie on Blu-ray 😊

[@ScientificallyStupid]

me too! It was only $15, a great deal for a movie I know I'll want in my collection.

[@gabrielericarte25]

There is only 1 Alan because people on that time start to make fun of him, saying Alan and Ken were gays, a couple. So Mattel decided discontinue

[@IsabelandMaria]

Love this reaction! If you're looking for movies to watch, you should definitely watch The Hunger Games and Maze Runner series! I know they are old, but they are so good!!

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

FUNNY THE BARBIE (2023 ) FILM - MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING !!!

[@jessipagan6630]

Love this movie! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@brandonphoummany9668]

Love!!!

[@willjohnson8446]

You should react to Ryan Gosling’s performance at the Oscars of I’m Just Ken.

[@TechnicallyTexan]

Coming to your channel because I see the Barbie movie, and I am looking forward to meeting a new reaction team! Barbie is my favorite movie in the last 10 years, easily.

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

1. Give my best to little Christian! 2. (6:01-6:06) "Beaching someone off" is basically a masturbation joke. 3. (33:20-34:03) *The monologue that got America Ferrera nominated for an Oscar* 4. It's funny how people have cried "woke" in everything, especially Hollywood, yet this movie, despite how "woke" it was/is, made over a billion dollars at the box office. These sheep crying "woke" can shut up and cry me a river.

[@TechnicallyTexan]

❤❤❤❤

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

I think the singer of the first song stole the "Round and Round and Round" hook from Sisqo's "Round and Round"

[@moonchildsfaeryrealm.3971]

Please react to that boy detective it's in the same universe as the sandman and some of the endless are in it

[@mattmc5069]

The speech about what women face really made me think. We just don't give women the respect we should

[@AllenLemus]

Please do the Flash reaction.

[@number1fool]

2 completely different reactions.

[@jollyrayda]

Serious question - am I the only female on Earth who was disturbed to my core by this movie? Was doing the homework with my housemate (big burly guy a little older than me - he thought it was alright), and I didn't even get 2 minutes in before my skin was crawling, and it never stopped. That horrendous opening monologue took Helen Mirren *OFF* my 'happily listen to them reading the phone book' list (that alone is something I can't forgive this movie for), and the assumption of a monolithic gender seems backwards given the push for wider acceptance of the spectrums people live on in the last few years. Is it just me? 'Cause I _really_ fkn hated this movie, and it feels like I'm the only one.

[@SSewerrratt]

Did andrew tate write this?

[@jollyrayda]

@@SSewerrratt No. 42yo F from Australia. The assumption that all girls play with dolls was the first thing that worried me, and it only got worse from there. As I mentioned, this was homework - I had no interest/desire to watch it, but it's the kind of movie that _everyone_ has seen, so you kinda have to. And it was one of the worst viewing experiences I've had in a _long_ time - the kind that gets you angry and creeped out all at the same time. I am *well* aware that my opinion is so far in the minority as to be nonexistent, but I just can't be the only one, can I?

[@SSewerrratt]

@@jollyrayda its a movie. Its not real, ot doesnt have to be accurate to how you perceive the world. Its not that serious, a lot of women resonate with the movie. You don’t have to like it.

[@jollyrayda]

@@SSewerrratt I know. So am I allowed to express my opinion about it, or are you going to keep calling me names and questioning my intelligence?

[@SSewerrratt]

@@jollyrayda who says ur not allowed to express you opinion? You put it on the internet where people can comment, you claim to be 42 but you act like you are 13

[@alexhaynes7220]

This film is bad the only good thing about it and I like is Ryan everything else is not right fair equal nice friendly it’s sexist sexist sexism racist racism so on against towards and to men and especially white straight normal men and Just like there is good women out there to and Yes there is a Barbie and Ken story and they r together and married and there is only one Ken and Barbie to

[@ISavant]

what's it like being a whiny little crybaby?

Dude, seek therapy.

[@maverickhanecak1682]

So much fascism.
