This movie is \u200da flaming piece of dog s*** piled atop an entire dumpster on fire piled atop a \u200blandfill filled with dog s***.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shapiro declared that \u201cBarbie\u201d was \u201cone of the worst movies\u201d on \u2064\u201cevery possible level\u201d\u2062 that he has\u2062 ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 only positive part of the movie was the production design,\u2063 Shapiro said,\u200c noting that it would be incredibly hard for anyone \u2064to screw that \u2062up\u200b given the fact that there are a seemingly endless \u200dnumber of products\u2064 that Mattel has produced in \u200bits line of Barbie\u200d toys. The only thing that \u2062the creators of the movie had to do was make\u2063 the products life-size, \u200dhe said.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro slammed\u200b the movie for its overall \u2063lack of comedy, saying\u2064 that the only \u2062mild comedic moments\u2063 happened\u200d within the\u2063 first moments \u200dof the film.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro said that the \u2063movie was marketed to moms and their \u2062young daughters,\u2064 as evidenced by the previews during\u200c the movie and the audience that\u2062 attended.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro said that there\u200d was no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shapiro-debunking-gun-control\/\" title=\"SHAPIRO: Debunking Gun Control\">basic idea<\/a> behind the \u2064film and\u2064 that those who\u2063 wrote it\u200c could \u200bnot make up their\u200c minds as to \u201cwhether they hate Barbie, or they were supposed to kind of \u200blike Barbie.\u200c It seems they kind of despised Barbie as a fascist emblem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1690029339199000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1aBZKXZOsvkW3aRCKp8ThD\">CLICK HERE\u200d TO \u200cGET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Political Divide and Negative Messages<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe basic sort of premise of the film, politically speaking, is that men and women are on two sides\u200d of \u2064the divide, and they hate each other,\u201d\u200b he\u200d said. \u201cAnd literally, \u200dthe\u2064 only way you can have a happy world is if the women ignore the men\u2063 and the men\u2063 ignore the \u200cwomen. That seems to be the final \u2063outcome \u2062of this\u2063 film. I\u2063 was trying to separate this into problems\u200b with plot and problems with character \u200band problems\u200b with the politics and so on. But they\u2019re \u200dall\u200d intertwined because the thing is just a mess. It doesn\u2019t \u200cmake any sense. Plot-wise, it \u2064makes no \u2062sense. Character-wise, it makes no sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro\u2062 said that one of the most perplexing parts\u2063 of \u2064the movie \u2064was why Mattel allowed the creators of the movie to use their intellectual\u2064 property to make a\u2064 movie that \u201cclearly hate[s]\u201d Barbie.<\/p>\n<p>The movie \u201chas a\u200b heavily \u200bpolitical message,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cIt is\u200b explicitly designed\u2063 to divide men from women. It has these negative messages directed at kids. It\u2019s supposed to be\u2064 a kid\u2019s movie, it\u2019s rated PG-13. It\u200b is not \u200dmarketed to PG-13.\u2063 It\u2062 is marketed to PG. It \u200cis marketed to moms who are \u200cgoing to skip the PG-13 rating and\u200d bring their daughters there anyway. It\u2019s a\u2064 culturally relevant \u200cmoment, \u2062a very culturally relevant \u2064moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI find\u2062 it \u200bupsetting when\u200b material is based on children\u2019s IP and \u200bmarketed to little girls actually ends up\u200c being\u200c angry feminist claptrap that alienates men \u2063from\u200d women, \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-shreds-barbie-in-epic-full-review\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro destroys 'Barbie' in epic review.\">undermines basic human values<\/a>, and\u200c promotes falsehood all at the same time,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think a\u200d lot of people are gonna have a right to be mad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u2063Shapiro said that if he had to \u2064give the movie a rating with\u2064 10 out of 10 Barbies being good, he would give\u200b the film \u201cnegative infinity Barbies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly,\u2063 just as a piece of film, this\u2062 sucker goes in like my bottom 10 ever\u200c \u2014 ever, it is that bad,\u201d \u200dhe said. \u201cNot just because of the politics, because \u2062the plot \u200bmakes \u200bno sense, because the\u2062 writing makes no sense, because \u200bthe acting half the time, \u2062makes no sense. The entire\u200c film is a dog\u2019s vomit.
