Barbie in Rock 'N Royals (2015)
Really missed the boat!
I have to say, I'm disappointed. To be fair, when the Barbie movies first started coming out (2nd generation onward, I mean), I was already way older than the target audience LOL So yes, watching them now is really just for kicks and giggles. That being said, the quality of these movies has gone so far downhill it's rather cringe-worthy. The fact that this is the third movie to riff off the Princess and the Pauper storyline suggests that Mattel isn't even TRYING any more; they know as long as they slap 'Barbie' on it, it's going to sell. Something that was further reinforced when I noticed that the flautist in the movie is holding her flute wrong EVERY TIME SHE'S ON SCREEN. And yet, NO ONE CAUGHT THIS!! So yeah, maybe a decent movie by target-audience standards, but a sad effort by Mattel overall.
