Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

usonose This movie is every plot you've ever seen about a high school. I could not finish this movie it was so awful. If you're just looking for something to show your kids I would still tell you to look elsewhere. The other Barbie movies are more tolerable and better looking than this sad excuse of a film. Please do yourself a favor and watch something that has even a little bit more artistic value than Barbie Diaries.

TheLittleSongbird I say this as a 20 year old female who actually does like the Barbie movies, especially Nutcracker, Diamond Castle, Prince and the Pauper and Island Princess, Rapunzel, 12 Dancing Princesses and Swan Lake I also have a soft spot for. But I didn't care for Barbie Diaries. It is better than Fairy Secret and Fashion Fairytale, unlike those two while lame it isn't completely awful. The soundtrack was great, the ending with Barbie redeeming herself was nice and the voice acting was good, unlike the two I just mentioned Barbie Diaries actually has the advantage of Barbie being voiced by Kelly Sheridan. However, the animation is not as vibrant or as detailed and at times even looks rough. The writing lacks heart and is corny a lot of the time, the story is shallow and predictable, I didn't like the messages of vanity and obsessing about being popular and boys and the characters while not as bratty as Fairy Secret and Fashion Fairytale are not very likable and are very stereotypical. All in all, pretty lame but not the worst. 4/10 Bethany Cix

BigSis22 Okay Barbie is the typical role model for little girls aged 3-9. She can be a SuperStar, Malibu Girl, Businesswoman, Just about anything!The other movies were cute but they all had the same point. She has a few friends (dragons, nutcrackers, fairies, etc.) and she fights off the "Bad Guys" with a little magic. This movie is different. She is totally a normal girl. She has a crush, she is in a band, she gets dumped, then wins the guy back! Gosh, I did that stuff when I was young! She is normal in this movie and it kinda reminds me of a little kid version of "Mean Girls" so its pretty cool.As for the acting, they did pretty good using "not so famous" people. It did not influence little kids to watch it just because their "idol" was in it.Its a fun movie and is cute for young girls.

xteenxvx-2 Okay, I'm 15. Where I live, it is usually not a good thing to watch Barbie. Of course, you could ask anyone that knows me, if I'm a little weird...bingo, I am. I'm somewhat known to have the interests of an 8 year old. But still, this movie was awesome.Kelly Sheridan, one of my favorite voice-actresses, once again stars as Barbie. Matt Hill, from "Ed, Edd, and Eddy", is Kevin. They did an excellent job. The humor wasn't even that lame, it was actually entertaining.The movie is a softer version of Mean Girls. Notice I say softer. It doesn't fail to show how girls can be and gossip is spread. Mothers of wee little ones, I suggest showing them the other Barbie movies instead. I think it's just a little too mature for probably 7 and under. In my opinion, viewer discretion is advised for the little ones. Read some of the reviews on amazon.com for more information.
