Barbie: It Takes Two (2022– ) User Reviews

Great Concept, But...

[officialrainbowhighfan · 7/10 · 2 December 2023]

As a person who loves musicals and theater, this should've been the best show ever.

But it was kind of blah and hard to get into. I never really made it through the first episode, though I've tried.

I just feel like this show could've been better played out. The dialogue seemed kind of forced.

This could've been such a good show.

It's okay, but even for a Barbie show it's something disappointing.

Nonetheless, there are moments I like, but they don't really last long.

The voice acting is fine, but the dialogue is kind of weird, like I said before.

You should definitely check out this show, a lot of people like it, but it's just not the best show I've ever seen.

Thank you for reading my review.

Barbie may be losing herself in the entertainment world...

This is clearly meant to be a follow on from the Dreamhouse adventure series and the movie where we meet Barbie Brooklyn. In these previous works we got to know both Barbie Robertses as honest, genuine characters who want to be their best selves while they learn how to care about all the people around them (even the nasty neighbour next door!). Sadly, there is a subtle shift happening here. The Barbie we previously knew would never have lied to a teacher to keep up appearances, or taken over the voice of her friend without thinking that she may be deceiving the audience or disenfranchising her friend. It seems her values are being tested in the entertainment industry but unfortunately, without it even getting addressed through consequences or her younger, franker self-reflection. Barbie is still empathic, but has lost a bit of her spine and self-awareness. I would say the "It takes two" series needs parental guidance, whereas the dreamhouse adventure series was fine for all ages without too much over the shoulder questioning to mediate a 7-13 year old's idea of what is acceptable behaviour. The problem is that the target audience for this franchise generally doesn't really stretch much further into the teens, so "It takes two" actually misses the mark.

Great!

I really liked this show so far! It's fun, interesting, so light-hearted, and the characters are great! These Barbie series are always so fun to watch, 9/10!
