Barbie review


Listen Later

The theatre just got a whole lot more colourful as Barbie opened across the world to much fanfare and positive reviews. The boys were there, front and centre, to see it, and here bring you their instant reaction review, recorded just minutes after walking out from catching the film.

 

Can a film about a toy that was "just for girls" when it was released in 1959 entertain two middle aged male reviewers who were bemused by how much pink was being worn at the incredible premiere screening? And further to that, can Greta Gerwig do what even Tom Cruise could not and set the box office alight this "summer" season?
