  • Aquamarine (Baywatch for Tweens)

    Packed with everything from color-changing nail polish to stick-on starfish earrings, Aquamarine (2006) is every girl’s mermaid fantasy brought to life. This week, we do our best to see if there’s anything beneath the glittery surface of this 2000s teen classic, or if it’s as shallow as the waves that brought in Aquamarine herself.

    Barbie couldn’t be further from her dreamhouse in this intricate web of deceit, double-crossing, and hidden identities.
