Fun fact the reason midge was considered problematic was because, parents thought she was a single teen mom. In reality she was an adult married to Allen.

The two silent sins off for "You're so beautiful" are proof he has a heart.

I'm surprised you didn't sin that Barbie was able to walk about to a group of teens at high school and not immediately get asked to leave by a staff member.

That delivery of the line of Barbie looking at the old lady and saying “you’re so beautiful” even while watching a cinema sin was enough to tear me up like that shit is so powerful 😭

I love that Sasha and her friends were designed after the Bratz dolls, AKA Barbie's biggest competitors. One pal is apparently called Jade, and Sasha is nicknamed Bunny Boo, just like her animated counterpart.

My one criticism, which he pointed out, is how unrealistic the mattel company is. If you establish that it is the real world, you can’t have the mother and daughter act normal and real but have the mattel people be so ridiculous

The “you’re so beautiful” scene always gets me because it’s the first time Barbie has seen an old person and this is her reaction. 🥺 this movie man

My only disagreement to this is the “I’m not pretty anymore” cry. As a woman, I swear I’m not superficial, but almost always the first line to my breakdowns are “I’m not pretty” before it descends into the real problems and I feel that being her opening was the perfect line that almost broke me

I honestly feel Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken are some of the best casting choices ever made this year!

He better take a sin off for the Kens dance scene

I still gotta say, when Ken puts on the second set of sunglasses, I lost it in the theater. I was rolling in my seat. It was that kind of joke you'd get out of old-school Simpsons or something. Just fantastic.

When my little sister (10 y.o) heard about depressed Barbie in cinema, she turned to me and said “we have to get this one for you” lmao

Even with all the sins, no one can deny that she was indeed a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world.

I got a kick out of Ken getting interested in Patriarchy because he believed that it involved horses. They're actually a matriarchal animal.

The two biggest sins that stood out to me: Barbie should be sleeping perfectly rigid with her arms down rather than bent near her head like a human child, and Ken shouldn't have nipples.

One thing tho, Barbie saying "I'm not pretty anymore" as her first line from her existential crisis is completely valid. I'm pretty sure other people can relate as well but just from that one line, I completely understood exactly how she was feeling. As a character that's most commonly known for that "picture perfect BARBIE doll appearance," there's now this expectation that's created that not just other people but Barbie has of herself, which eventually becomes a measure that determines and validates her worth and value. The line isn't meant to be taken literally, but as a way to express how Barbie feels. Her mind's probably all jumbled with a blur of different emotions that she feels so overwhelmed that it's numbing. There's so much going on in her head but she can't formulate any words or doesn't even know what to say that can even closely describe the true gravity of her current state. Therefore, the only thing she can think of to say is "I'm not pretty anymore," which can also implicate or be interpreted as a way of Barbie confessing that she doesn't feel good enough and doesn't understand or see her own value.

The "You're so beautiful" makes me tear up every time and it's so nice to see CinemaSins appreciate it too. No jokes, no commentary, just a sin off for both lines

i don't think i'll ever be over ken screaming "SUBLIME."

I don't think the joke about Ken and the female doctor is that he doesn't think doctors can be female, but since every job in Barbieland is an exaggerated characiture of a real-world job, he assumes only a person with a white coat could be a doctor

I'm so glad they included the "you're beautiful" scene. It was so heartwarming

I'm glad that others are also noticing the bizarre misconception of Kate McKinnon being any kind of "ugly," she's actually damn beautiful and I feel like she's not being offered enough roles that showcases this.

I’m a little sad that the “Hi Barbie” sequence at the end didn’t have an “Oh hi Mark”.

The one sort of plothole or inconsistency for me was, The explanation for how the Kens took over so easily was that the Barbies had never experienced patriarchy before, therefore they were powerless against it. But when Barbie and Ken went into the real world, she was Immediately scared and uncomfortable and had all her defences up. Idk

“They had Kate McKinnon and no sapphic moments?” Do we need to revisit the high heels v Birkenstocks scene? 🤣

Okay but Midge was legit terrifying and VERY problematic. Her stomach REMOVED, the baby popped out and you FLIPPED THE BELLY over to make her "not pregnant"😳😳😳😳

‘Explain to me the mysteries of this woman’s box!’ Somehow my relationship frustrations make it into CinemaSins

Huge respect to you for removing two sins for that exchange between Barbie and the Old lady.

The issue I have with this is it plays it like the real world is reversed and Barbie is a toxic man and Ken is her victim. But then Ken losing in order to say it's NOT real world reversed means that message is conflicted

The Barbie Land box that instantly transported Barbie (or any doll-faced doll) to Barbie Land was the original high-rise elevator that was somehow always ready and waiting on any given floor as soon as someone pushed the elevator button.

21:30 “Bild Lilli”? ok, we’re all supposed to just skate past the fact that you’ve done the research to KNOW this fact?!? Bro…😂😂😂

8:04 - Not gonna lie, this moment of back-to-back sin removals really got me.

Love the Preminger reference with his song “how could I refuse” but sad it was an out take. Preminger best Barbie movie villain ever.

Your wordless sin removals always warm my heart, and the one-two sin removal at the 8min mark cleared my skin, watered my crops, filled my bank account, and brought me a fluffy Golden Retriever puppy named Hermes who also has a little navy blue scarf.

I'm surprised you didn't mention that if Barbie only walks on water and the mermaids swim in the pool... would Barbie be eternally walking on Dua Lipa's head ??

Whilst I agree with removing a sin for Ferrara's speech, I feel you should have added one for her having to use the uniquely Ferrara superpower of making a speech at people to move the plot forward. When I saw her name in the opening credits I immediately knew she would make a speech at some point, because it seems to be her typecast role.

Man, I'm still chilling and waiting for Across the Spider-Verse to get a sin video, not for the sins themselves, but to see the deductions.

My interpretation (big word for it tbh) of the doctor scene was that since he thought men ran everything in the real world, only men could be doctors just like no ken would be a doctor in Barbie Land.

The fact that Margot Robbie's Barbie gets sold more than any of the other dolls in the movie despite it going entirely against the message this movie has is more egregious than the Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken merch.

0:53 isn't Barbie able to walk on water because her house is a representation of an actual toy Barbie dream house, and in Barbie dreamhouses there's not any actual water in the pool, that also shows why they don't have walls because the dream houses were designed for kids to play on the inside too.

23:51 The fact that this clip at the end uses a song from “The Princess and the Pauper” for the live action Barbie is amazing and I refuse to believe that it’s just a coincidence. (If my comment doesn’t make any sense to you, “The Princess and the Pauper” was an animated Barbie movie from back in the 2000s and is surprisingly still a good movie to this day.)

I love how Mattel cracks on themselves throughout the movie. I laughed so hard in the theater. Ryan Gosling is just too good at being Ken too. 😂

The fact he mentions the man & horse book but not the fantastic delivery of "SUBLIME" in the same scene is sin worthy

My theory about the one F-bomb bleep. I think Mattel demanded it; they had to have buy off for the script and insisted that Barbie can NEVER drop an F-bomb. Which is why they added the MATTEL logo on the censor as a subtle protest.

If Mattel made a Depression Barbie, Irrepressible thoughts of death Barbie, and Ordinary Barbie, I would buy them all in an instant. This movie was hilarious and deserves all the awards

The fact that this is a video big enough to have a premiere

I love that you didnt even say anything at the "you're so beautiful " scene. It just doesnt need words

the fact you didn’t take a sin off for the ken dance or the depression barbie advert is a sin.

So not even going to point out that Allen goes all Scot Pilgrim on the construction workers.

I really miss you guys doing the behind the sins podcast so I know who wrote the script for each video. It was such an amazing peek behind the curtain and it's the only reason I know CinemaSins isn't just one guy

I am surprised you didn't add a sin for the quite aggressive General Motors sponsorship in this movie

16:58 that's the point, it's stereotypical barbie. Her entire identity is that she's pretty and perfect, without that she doesn't know anything about interacting with the world.

22:49 i always thought Rhett and Link would be a good Harry and Marv if they ever remade home alone

I'm glad they pointed out a lot of my issues with the movie too. I personally didn't care for it. I really, really wanted to love it, but it felt like a lot of ideas and not enough structure. Like a string of Barbie themed skits they loosely strung together to turn into a movie. The plot starts out being about Barbie going to the real world to find the girl corrupting her. Then it suddenly is about Ken finding out about the Patriarchy and bringing it to Barbieland. Then it becomes Barbie liberating the other Barbies and tricking the Kens. Then it's about Barbie having an existential crisis and debating on being human or not. It's just a lot. There's some fun scenes and it did get genuine laughs from me but it's definitely not the movie I thought it'd be. Seems like it's more loved by the masses because it's a movement and not a movie but hey, it got people to the theaters and that's important especially nowadays.

21:59 "when the human race is wiped out by an asteroid in the year 2141 two weeks before the first interstellar mission is supposed to be launched. As Herman Stanhope stands watching the approaching annihilation of the world, and the neutering of the years of work he put into the interstellar program as its head designer, his last thoughts will be of the irony of space conquering his species just before his species conquered space. "it really does feel like a simulation sometimes", he will think seconds before a giant rock ends not only his life but that stupid idea he just had." that is weirdly specific and funny

I laugh too hard at “That was a cold move to cast Link”. I didn’t notice before and now cannot unsee it 😂

Actually pregnant barbie can give birth via C-section i had her as a kid. The baby is inside a dome against the belly. You jus take the dome off. Which makes the film slightly dark

I was wondering just yesterday when you’d get round to covering Barbie.

I love the silent unsinning that gets done sometimes. Very poignant.

im surprised that he didnt remove a sin for the "what was i made for" scene. brought tears to a lot of people in my theatre.

At 7:04 when you questioned why they were being printed again-it happens every time you get arrested. Yes, even if it’s the same day. This might vary by state or province but it’s the norm in most police stations. This sin was given in error.

8:04 CinemaSins being wholesome 101

18:51: Yo! Do you even beach, bro? **DING**

The two back to back sin removals at the “you’re so beautiful” “I know it” scene actually made me tear up again 😭

THANK YOU for sinning 14:30 when they're comparing kens taking over barbieland to small[pox wiping out almost entire indigenous communities. For a movie that is so self-aware and thoughtful that line jarred me into a 5th dimension. Its like someone wrote the script and then someone else just penned in that line before shooting and everyone just went with it.

The shade against Portland is so perfect that I’m sitting here in amused shock. Holy FUCK, CinemaSins, you hit it on the head! God damn, that was just perfect.

Beauty standards aren't based on Barbie, Barbie is based on beauty standards because you would want your doll to be beautiful. Otherwise you'll end up with Chucky dolls everywhere.

the silent two sin removals at the "youre beautiful" exchange almost made me cry because that was so deserved

16:20 my mum cry laughed at the wall building scene lmao it lives rent free in my head now

Thank you for actually lovingly criticising this movie and not chickening out like sadly HISHE did

8:10 yes two sins off without any comments. This is one of my favourite scenes of the movie and this is why I love cinemasins

I'm guessing the homage to Monty Python and The Holy Grail's horse riding style was too easy?

21:51 That's a little bit of Douglas Adams humour in my day, thank you.

I saw the premiere preview image and mistook it for the actual video. Now how am I supposed to sleep tonight?!

I hope he does a Bonus Round on the word "patriarchy".

Thank you for saying "it could also be a boy" and with such empasis. I hated how the movie skipped boys and centered only girls as their play posibility.

The two sins off for the older lady was well deserved Such a beautiful scene

23:51 I love the usage of dialogue from one of the animated Barbie movies

The “We have to go back Kate” outtakes makes me laugh every time 😂

8:07 made me tear up in the theater and I STILL don't understand why.

“I do not have a v*gina, and he does not have a p*nis”: minus 10 sins. Allan kicking the crap out of everyone: minus 10 sins. “Sublime!”: minus a sin. I think that brings this to a nice round 100.

6:02 I just noticed the mermaid comes out of her *solid plastic* swimming pool she walked on earlier and never questioned it.

Those La La Land references at the end were just golden.

I had no idea that CinemaSins knew that the straight-to-video Barbie movies existed. I might've gasped a little out loud when I heard "It's...a...TEMPorary setback" ❤️❤️

4th rule of fight club: "Hitting the crotch is okay." Because let's face it, we are all smooth down there OKAY. LET'S FIGHT!!!

“You’re so beautiful.” “I know it.” Regardless of whether you like the movie or not, it was worth it for this one moment.

Quietly taking off two sins for "you're so beautiful" "I know it"

Meryl Streep said that when she heard America's speech in the movie, she said that she wanted to do that speech too. And America said she was basically speechless lol

OmG that one where they equate LA to the rest of the world had me coughing spitting & peeing with laughter..that one was worth a hundred sin points alone🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♀️😂

You know he loves a movie when he removes 2 sins back to back

That Rhett and Link sin was good 😂

Gotta love Chris Christie's "get the hell off the beach" at the end. I remember that press conference when Hurricane Sandy was coming.

It's disappointing that you didn't sin Barbie for quoting Fight Club when Ken realises he is not his job (Beach), not his house, not his clothes or 'stuff' - then has Barbie actually go further by telling Ken he needs to figure himself out vs relying on her or others to tell him what to do. It's a real pity that Barbie suffers from the same problem as Fight Club that it's anti-consumerism message got lost in the marketing.

Given stereotypical Barbie, her concern about looks might fit her character, not only for it being how she always thought, but that it’s also used by her as a sort of focal point for her identity.

The “I’m just Ken” scene is too funny to sin

Barbie was great. It had something for everyone. It brought up social expectations for both genders that are unrealistic and unreasonable, putting pressure on people and putting them in boxes. It's awesome that these discussions are now happening.

Actually, they didn't have the jumpers produced quickly. They set up a pre-order website and shipped them out by the end of September :D Love mine sm

I think Sasha's roast should've been a sin because if she was trying to roast someone her age with those roasts she would have been cooked on a grill

Surprised there wasn't a sin asking how Ken and Barbie got out of jail twice in one day without any explanation of how they got out

it took less than 90 seconds for me to feel like you missed the point of the movie, but then I realized I was missing the point of CinemaSins

Like how he sinned the only scissoring reference they were able to sneak in.
