Yeah I had a blast watching it opening weekend with a packed theater of people all in pink and hype as gently caress. I've watched it on streaming a couple times since and it's still pretty solidly fine with occasional bits that still make me laugh ("The president's here!" "I am! You're welcome." and other such moments especially with Issa Rae). My perspective on the last moments of the film, especially the conversation between Barbie and Ruth, feel like more of a dig at parenthood/motherhood (especially truly bonkers parental reactions to people who come out as gay/trans/etc.) than womanhood. Like, just because I created you doesn't mean I control who you choose to be; Ruth 'created' Barbie but it's completely under Barbie's control to decide who she is (which with the final scene seems to be "human woman with a vagina") and no one else can dictate that for her. A less mass-market/brand-focused movie maybe takes more of a swerve with that final scene but it didn't bother me (as an NB person).
