Our recommendation is that the movie should be safe for nearly all children ages 11 and older (which Common Sense Media seconds). If your kids are younger and they're still dying to watch the movie, take these considerations in mind and decide for yourself.
It's not a kid movie because it's overall themes and message will go over a young child's head and there isn't enough just-kid-fun stuff to engage them.
By advocating for women's rights, Christians can contribute to a more compassionate and just world. A world where women's voices are heard, talents are valued, and the Church's mission of love and hope is extended to all, regardless of gender. This is one more reason that Christians should see the new Barbie movie.

What is the message in the new Barbie movie?
Ultimately, the movie has lessons for Barbies and Kens. Barbie realizes that it's no longer fulfilling to her to just be an “idea” of a woman. Her path to joy lies in becoming human and accepting all of the complexities, heartache and imperfections that go along with that.
While the film does not dive into trans identity, Barbie still manages to touch upon LGBTQ+ issues without naming them as such. In fact, the film features several openly LGBTQ+ actors, like Hari Nef, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, and Scott Evans.
Barbie is rated PG-13 for suggestive references and brief language. Credit: Warner Bros. This is the classification the MPAA has offered for the Barbie movie.
It solidifies the understanding that reproductive health is an integral part of overall health. I hope that will be one of the main takeaways from the scene, which is that every girl, every woman, every person who has female reproductive organs should seek regular preventive care to address their reproductive health.
Is BaiRBIE.Me safe? Even though these apps can be a lot of fun, we need to be careful about what information and photos we give to the websites that host them. Poland's Ministry of Digitization warned people not to use an app that changes photos to make people look like Barbie or Ken dolls.
PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned, Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13. This rating is a stronger caution for parents that content included may not be appropriate for children under 13 (pre-teen ages). This may include stronger language, extended violence or sexual situations and drug-use.
The movie also features shirtless Kens, a comedic “battle” scene involving toy weapons and a few references to “brewskys” (beer). As for language, parents can expect one bleeped out use of the word “motherf*****,” as well as the use of other mildly bad words like “hell, “shutup,” “crap” and “damn.”
It received the R rating for sexuality, nudity and language. "Oppenheimer" will undoubtedly be one of the most talked about films of 2023 and a front-runner at the Oscars in 2024, attracting a lot of curiosity from potential audience members.
Fans didn't get to see Barbie and Ken lock lips on screens because Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling couldn't envision how their toy characters would kiss. When the leading duo spoke to PEOPLE about the film's lack of smooching, Robbie revealed that she got a little flak for the missing moment.
Director Greta Gerwig, who has built a devoted following for such female-forward movies as Lady Bird and Little Women, has labeled Barbie "most certainly a feminist film." Mattel executives, on the other hand, have said the opposite.
Ken (short for Kenneth Carson) hit the toy aisle as Barbie's buyable boyfriend two years after her 1959 debut. He was available in two styles — blond or brunette hair, made of hard plastic — and came dressed in very short red swim trunks.
Barbie makes it clear she's not interested in Ken romantically and urges him to find his own personal passions. The finale not only flips the normal script on female-centric films—in which a woman discovers she doesn't need a man to find her inner power (Legally Blonde, Eat Pray Love, etc.)
While some on social are wondering how Barbie snagged a girlfriend before them, or when exactly she came out, Aimee Song weighed in to make the relationship Twitter-official.
What does it mean if people call you a Barbie, even if they barely know you? Barbie, the toy many girls play with when they are young, is known for her unhumanlike body proportions and beauty. When someone calls you a barbie, they mean that you are beautiful and have an amazing body.
Greta Gerwig's Barbie is the must see event of the season and I recommend it to anyone - boys, girls, fathers, daughters, and yes, even your conservative grandparents. Please give it a watch as it seems to be a movie that I will be remembering for years and years to come. 13 people found this helpful.
Turns out he used to play Barbie dolls with his daughter. It's how he developed some of the roles he played, by using different voices for each of the Barbies. This continued until his daughter finally asked him to use a normal Barbie voice, and he complied. She got older, of course, and stopped playing with Barbies.
