Ben Shapiro destroys ‘Barbie’ in epic review.

Ben Shapiro Slams New “Barbie” Movie in Scathing ⁢Review

Daily Wire⁢ Editor​ Emeritus Ben Shapiro ripped ‍the new “Barbie” ‌movie to pieces in ‌an ‌extensive review of​ the newly ⁢released film.

The 43-minute review by Shapiro, who is‌ the host of the “The Ben Shapiro Show,” was published on Saturday ‍after​ he and his production team ⁣went to see the film in theaters on opening⁣ day.

“Let me begin‌ with my⁢ generalized assessment of the movie,” he began.​ “This movie‍ is not just a⁣ piece of s***. This movie is ‍a flaming piece of dog s*** piled atop an entire dumpster on fire piled atop a ​landfill filled with dog s***.”

Shapiro declared that “Barbie” was “one of the worst movies” on ⁤“every possible level”⁢ that he has⁢ ever seen.

The⁣ only positive part of the movie was the production design,⁣ Shapiro said,‌ noting that it would be incredibly hard for anyone ⁤to screw that ⁢up​ given the fact that there are a seemingly endless ‍number of products⁤ that Mattel has produced in ​its line of Barbie‍ toys. The only thing that ⁢the creators of the movie had to do was make⁣ the products life-size, ‍he said.

Shapiro slammed​ the movie for its overall ⁣lack of comedy, saying⁤ that the only ⁢mild comedic moments⁣ happened‍ within the⁣ first moments ‍of the film.

Shapiro said that the ⁣movie was marketed to moms and their ⁢young daughters,⁤ as evidenced by the previews during‌ the movie and the audience that⁢ attended.

Shapiro said that there‍ was no basic idea behind the ⁤film and⁤ that those who⁣ wrote it‌ could ​not make up their‌ minds as to “whether they hate Barbie, or they were supposed to kind of ​like Barbie.‌ It seems they kind of despised Barbie as a fascist emblem.”

Political Divide and Negative Messages

“The basic sort of premise of the film, politically speaking, is that men and women are on two sides‍ of ⁤the divide, and they hate each other,”​ he‍ said. “And literally, ‍the⁤ only way you can have a happy world is if the women ignore the men⁣ and the men⁣ ignore the ‌women. That seems to be the final ⁣outcome ⁢of this⁣ film. I⁣ was trying to separate this into problems​ with plot and problems with character ​and problems​ with the politics and so on. But they’re ‍all‍ intertwined because the thing is just a mess. It doesn’t ‌make any sense. Plot-wise, it ⁤makes no ⁢sense. Character-wise, it makes no sense.”

Shapiro⁢ said that one of the most perplexing parts⁣ of ⁤the movie ⁤was why Mattel allowed the creators of the movie to use their intellectual⁤ property to make a⁤ movie that “clearly hate[s]” Barbie.

The movie “has a​ heavily ​political message,” Shapiro said. “It is​ explicitly designed⁣ to divide men from women. It has these negative messages directed at kids. It’s supposed to be⁤ a kid’s movie, it’s rated PG-13. It​ is not ‍marketed to PG-13.⁣ It⁢ is marketed to PG. It ‌is marketed to moms who are ‌going to skip the PG-13 rating and‍ bring their daughters there anyway. It’s a⁤ culturally relevant ‌moment, ⁢a very culturally relevant ⁤moment.”

“I find⁢ it ​upsetting when​ material is based on children’s IP and ​marketed to little girls actually ends up‌ being‌ angry feminist claptrap that alienates men ⁣from‍ women, ⁣undermines basic human values, and‌ promotes falsehood all at the same time,” he continued. “I think a‍ lot of people are gonna have a right to be mad.”

In conclusion, ⁣Shapiro said that if he had to ⁤give the movie a rating with⁤ 10 out of 10 Barbies being good, he would give​ the film “negative infinity Barbies.”

“I honestly,⁣ just as a piece of film, this⁢ sucker goes in like my bottom 10 ever‌ — ever, it is that bad,” ‍he said. “Not just because of the politics, because ⁢the plot ​makes ​no sense, because the⁢ writing makes no sense, because ​the acting half the time, ⁢makes no sense. The entire‌ film is a dog’s vomit. It is a dog’s ​breakfast of film.”
