BarbieFrom the moment the opening turned into an homage to the opening of 2001: A Space Odyssey, I knew I was going to enjoy this. Fun all round - both silly fun and clever fun. It looks brilliant (literally, in Barbie Land) and the sets and props excel. Margot Robbie is excellent (and stunningly beautiful obvs. Freakishly good looking). Ryan Gosling is a great Ken. Especially in the last reel (no spoilers - but I want all his clothes, especially the multi-coloured "I am Kenough" hoodie. See here!

Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has done a great job as director and co-writer. A fun and funny blockbuster, with a bit of wit and intelligence behind it.
I assume it was made in the UK? Because it's chock full of familiar British actors and comedians such as Emma Mackey, Sharon Rooney, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Connor Swindells, Jamie Demetriou (Stath Lets Flats) and Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing). So you can have a fun time going "where do I know her from?".
