I'm definitely not the target audience for a Barbie movie, but I can enjoy them. And I am aware that these movies usually aren't made with a big budget, and they're usually just made to sell toys. What I'm trying to say is that for these movies, the bar is pretty low.
The plot of this is frustrating. I found myself wondering "how much longer is this movie?" more than once. The puppy subplot is boring. For a movie about chasing after puppies, the pups don't move around very much. It's mostly just Barbie failing to go where she needs to. Barbie would've been fine had she made better decisions. The stakes are really low- everyone hardly faces consequences.
The characters are boring. Even Barbie and her sisters are bland. Two of the Barbie sisters had so little impact on the plot that they could've been removed without any consequences. The puppies are badly voice-acted. They sound robotic.
Ultimately, this is not a great movie. Probably fine for the kids.
