Summary Barbie was one of the biggest movie events of 2023, but in truth, the film has far more flaws than many early audiences were willing to admit. Creating the "Barbenheimer" sensation with its tandem release alongside Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, Barbie smashed all kinds of box office records, raking in a whopping 1.4 billion dollars.
9 Gloria And Sasha Don't Get Used Enough The delightful mother-daughter combo needed more screentime Among the cast of Barbie, America Ferrera's Gloria and Ariana Greenblatt's Sasha are something of undersung heroes. The non-doll characters add a much-needed element of humanity to the bubblegum pink scenery, and while they might not be as bombastic as Ken or Weird Barbie, they work as necessary portholes through which the audience can become acclimated to Barbieland's woes.
7 Ken Ends Up Eclipsing Barbie Despite the film's insistence, Ken steals the show There's no denying that Ryan Gosling's Ken was among the greatest comedic performances of 2023. Much of the character's comedy revolved around the fact that in both the film and in real life, Ken is essentially just an accessory to Barbie.
5 Barbie Was The Weaker Film Of Barbenheimer While the two films were never competing, Nolan's epic is a clear winner It's no surprise that a massive chunk of Barbie's success can be attributed to the sensation of "Barbenheimer" that swept theaters in July 2023. The humorous dichotomy between two very different films releasing on the same day struck a chord with prospective audiences, who rushed out to see both for the bit alone.
