I'm so surprised that no reviews mention what I considered to be the primary story in Barbie - the mother and daughter conflict and resolution. Maybe you have to have been a middle-aged mom like me to see it? Barbie's "girl" was not a girl at all, but an unhappy mom. America Ferrara's character is a creative soul, searching for herself and trying desperately to reclaim her relationship with her daughter, who is mired in teenage angst. I just love how true-to-life these two are portrayed and I really appreciated their resolution. Truth be told, I saw this movie with my own angsty-teen and we both saw ourselves in these characters. Very healing for us, too!
