Barbie Movie- who is with me and looking forward to this?

[Niftythrifter]

I am so looking forward to this film and all the merch that is bound to be out today. I was a massive Barbie fan so I am looking forward to it! Should you want to be a Barbie then you can take a photo and be one using a link on the official Insta account.

Cannot wait!

Im really looking forward to it. Wasnt until I saw the trailer, but the feet bit was just sooooo perfect!
I loved my Barbies as a kid! Plan on going to see it pretty soon after it opens!

Wow, I saw the trailer before another film this week, and thought it looked massively underwhelming.

I didn’t even snigger and it doesn’t take much to make me laugh.

My 4 year old wants to see this and a little part of me too... ummm will she be allowed as it sounds like it's a certain rated film.

It's 12A.
Which is rubbish as Barbie films and Barbie dolls/merchandise are aimed at younger children.
What to say to darling daughters who want to see the movie but are too young!

I read that the first opinions are out and they are good!

Technically you can take them as 12A is under twelves must be accompanied by an adult. But I personally don't let mine watch them so I can see where you're coming from.

I’ve got tickets booked! Going with a friend after we found out it’s a 12A. I’m disappointed as I was going to take my 7 year old but that’s out now.

I just don't know whether to bring my 9 year old 😕

@SirSamVimesCityWatch

No, a 12A rating is 12 and over (not under) accompanied by an adult.

@Butterfly44 no, 12a means people under 12 can see it if accompanied by an adult.
That's the point of the A

Sorry, just looked it up and I'm wrong!

So anyone know if cinemas would refuse a younger child accompanied with a parent for 12A? Thinking a 6 year old here....

Plenty of five and six year olds have been to watch the marvel films in the cinemas, they are mostly 12a ratings.

My seven year old is desperate to watch this but I’m reluctant as it’s a 12A. The problem is 12A can mean anything, so I’d rather know why it’s been rated that way before going. Stupid to make a film about a children’s toy which a lot of children won’t be allowed to see!

Lots of children go and see 12A movies like Marvel and Star Wars.

My 16yo son didn't own a Barbie but will be watching the movie as he and his friends think that it looks like a laugh . I suspect that the movie is aimed at the nostalgia market rather than the market for the animated films which will be much younger.

My DD is well into cinema and says anything directed by Greta Gerwig with this cast is going to be fantastic in one way or another. She's not sure which way yet though 😁

I had dismissed this from my movie radar until I saw a cinema trailer for it the other week , now I am really looking forward to it, and Oppenheimer too.

I can’t help thinking that a lot of parents might be a tad disappointed when they rock up with their children to watch a cute movie all about Barbie and her friends…..

I didn't want to see it but you all convinced me to watch the trailer and now I really really do!

Not out here till next week but I have just booked tickets for me and the younger teens. The older teen nearly choked when I asked if he wanted to come. Ah well more popcorn for the rest of us :)

I think you might have predicted some future AIBU posts 🤔

Thing is, there have been loads of animated Barbie movies and TV series - which are great. This is doing something else. That should be ok too!

My lo is 5, nearly 6. Is anyone taking their kids this age to see it ?

My girl is 4 but a mature 4, she would like to see it so I will take her. I think the innuendo will go over her head tbh.

Sorry to spoil the party but look like a bad a shite.

I am very surprised at it is a Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach film, so unlike anything else that they have ever worked on.
