Such a frustrating disappointment

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Not only is this movie better that Godfather Part 1, This is the ONLY movie you should ever watch. The characters are well written, the jokes land, and Barbie herself is an interesting character. The Barbie saga has been going strong since 2001. All of the movies in the series are incredibly emotional and intersting. The only gripe I have with it is that the CGI looks too real. They look too real to be in a kids show. Don't ever watch a Pixar film, because this is the definitive animated movie experience. Dare I say that it's almost as good as Motu Patlu, Which is also a great classic show.

Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse is nothing less that a modern entertaining series for those who like "slap stick" humor and hidden hints from a lot of other high profiled Hollywood productions.There are a lot of details in every episode containing hints to either the Barbie franchise, everyday situations, and certainly also the stereotype behavior of the characters.They are all sweet, clumsy, silly, nice, in their own rights. The characters all have their own personality and sometimes they are having trouble doing things because their limited way of movement (as they are dolls in the series and therefore not pretending to be human). So warning against haircuts do have a point; the hair does not grow out again.. ;-)This is combined with the silly oversize of driver license, spray bottles and other stuff that comes with a Barbie doll.And if you watch it closely you can learn a lot of trivia about Barbie, as a lot of Barbie fact are present in some episodes.This series is an absolute must for every Barbie fan.

I was letting my 3 yo cousin be in charge of the Netflix choices one evening and she was pulled, as if by some magnetic force, to "Barbie: LITDH". Believe you me; I tried everything in my power to get her to make another choice, but I eventually gave in and was very happy I did.This show is very clever, they\ characters live their lives as dolls and it is hilarious to see them build their new sports cars fresh from the box and bake treats by jamming random ingredients into their toy oven. Barbie's house is so ridiculously over-the-top, it really is the 'Dream House' I would have created in my childhood. It is silly and playful, the characters are distinct and interesting (especially Ken, hubba hubba...).Some people don't like the portrayal of Barbie on this show. I'll say this much: Barbie is perfection. She has everything you could possibly dream of, and yet she remains humble and generous throughout the series. The Barbie brand was always a form of escapism for me; I wouldn't expect her to be living through some real-world struggle, that's simply ridiculous.Give this show a chance. Even if you're not a fan of Barbie movies, you might be pleasantly surprised!

Completely ignore the reviewers that give this show a one star. They apparently seem just as air-headed as the pretend dolls that they claim to be stupid.This is a very cute show, and it clearly satirizes that stereotypes around Barbie. Even my children got the joke. This show is very humorous in an intelligent way and parodies unrealistic material values. I can think of a few examples. One of Barbie's friends says that Barbie is the only person in the world with an indoor dolphin aquarium when Barbie claims to not have enough nice things in her gigantic pink mansion. Another episode centers around Barbie and her friends literally walking around for hours in Barbie's closet looking for one item, and her closet seems to contain hundreds of shoes and accessories. Barbie even jokes in the episode that the size of the closet goes on for such a long way that it takes days of travel to find what you want, while her friends drag giant shopping bags clearly exhausted, huffing and puffing.This is CLEARLY a joke and satirizes the stereotypes about Barbie. I and my kids AND their friends got the joke and thought it was hilarious, and realized just how unrealistic it is while enjoying the funny antics of Barbie and her friends.Really, the joke is not hard to get and its very funny, while teaching a lesson to children about material values in an ironic way. If children can understand the irony then adults SHOULD be able to as well. Unfortunately, there are the 1% who have no sense of humor at all and take everything they watch seriously.This is a cute show and I enjoyed it very much.
