Weird Barbie, Barbie
Her unevenly chopped hair, magic marker make-up, off-kilter poses, “basement” aroma, and mismatched fashion would be enough to set Kate McKinnon’s Weird Barbie apart from the other dolls in Barbie’s plastic utopia. But her differences—and her worldly experiences as a Barbie who’s been played with too hard, and therefore truly been to the edge—make her a valuable part of the community, and it’s no surprise she proves a sage source of knowledge and advice when the film’s perfectly pink reality begins to crumble. Viva Weird!
