Why is the Barbie movie so popular and hyped?

[Anonymous]

Everyone on social media seems to be talking it; girls dress in pink or do their makeup like Barbie and there are thousands of posts and memes about it.. Basically it's the latest trend after Wednesday. I watched the trailer of the movie and it's nothing special, so I don't get why people act like it's the movie of the century.

That movie is cringeworthy and ridiculous.. It's embarrassing grown-up adults would become so obsessed over such a movie 🐑 🐑

Because people will get sucked in by whatever the mainstream spews forth. It happens with music too.

So true

I've yet to see anyone follow this absolutely downright ridiculous trend.

[Asker]

Unfortunately I've seen a lot of people like this 🤦‍♀️

[EmmaMary]

Would this by any chance be in the USA?

[Asker]

Yes and all over social media

[EmmaMary]

Well thankfully this has not become an epidemic yet here in the UK.

Thank you for the MHO.

[Asker]

You're welcome 😊

I think mainly because it's based from a very popular girl's toy created by Ruth Handler and released in 1959.

It'll die down.

I hope.

Because it has A list actors in it and Barbie is an internationally popular brand.

[Asker]

Just because something has A list actors doesn't mean it's good

Yes I agree. I just meant why it is so hyped.

I have seen the preview and nothing against Barbie fans but it isn't the movie for me. I'd have to be dragged kicking and screaming, tied to a chair and have my eyes held open to watch it.

Seems Like an Animation of Being Silly Billy. xx
