Movie Reviews of The Barbie Diaries
Movie Review: Completely Unacceptable
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is inappropriate for young children (under 8)for whom the other Barbie Princess movies were the target audience. We received as a gift and I'm sure the giver thought this movie would be in line with the others. It is not due to very inappropriate messages: 1) If your make-up gets confiscated, keep extra hidden in the pocket of your coat. 2) Getting boys to like you is most important in High School. 3) Getting boys to kiss you is even more important. 4) Getting good grades will make everyone hate you. These things may happen in high school, but this isn't an appropriate message for 5 year olds.
Shame on Barbie, shame on Mattel!
Movie Review: role model??
Summary: 1 Stars
Though I have not viewed it, I've seen the "preview". No offense, but it totally is NOT a positive influence. Barbie says, "I need to find a way to approach the popular crowd." So she's basically saying, oh I have to be popular. This is basically another Mean Girls-esque movie just with Barbie. Role model? Yeah right. Yes, let's all be blonde cronies and rule the world being popular! Frankly, I'm a bit miffed because there are never Asians. They're all blonde, brunettes...hello? Barbie is racist and such a stupid vision of "beauty" - thanks to Barbie, people are bulimic. Thank you so much you blonde idiot.Movie Review: Should be rated in advance

Very disappointed by the preview. My daughter loves all of the Barbie videos and is now very interested in a video that highlights "sophmore year," and "did he kiss you?!" comments.
Up until now Barbie videos have been based on fantasy play and imaginative play and this new viedo applies to real life situations that are too old for the crowd of girls it has always appealed to.
Lions Gate or Mattel has, in my opinion, missed the mark on this one. Any parent who buys this Barbie Diaries video for their young daughter is just wishing their youth away.
Movie Review: Movie

This Barbie movie was not what I expected. It covered high school issues about fame and popularity. I just think that all the other Barbie Movies were in a fantasy world teaching lessons with a strong female figure (my children new it was a fantasy world but the lessons were deep). This dealt with petty issues. Barbie should have been out doing service work not getting involved with the gossip of high school. Even when you are in high school there is still a big world out there.Movie Review: Not for young children!

Warning to Moms of young children. I let my 4 year watch this movie. She adores it and I did not think I had anything to worry about with it until she started saying "I Hate My Life". When I asked her where she learned to say that and she said from the Barbie movie. Sure enough, that's what Barbie says in it. I am shocked phrases like this were in a Barbie movie and I am very disappointed
