Sometimes a movie is just a movie. Enjoy it for what it is: as entertainment. Not every movie is Citizen Kane or Lawrence of Arabia. An enjoyable movie is a virtue upon itself.

The video for the most part is about the brand of Barbie. The movie is mentioned but primarily as a continuation of brand history.
That's a good point. i found some of the criticism of the movies mentioned a little harsh,
I don't want to burst any bubbles - but this was a corporate venture - nothing more - nothing less. And in addition, by having the violent jesus freaks froth at the mouth about it was possibly the best marketing strategy I've seen in a while.
It really worked, huh? Sold that shit like hotcakes. Regardless the intent, regardless the perceptions - this was a COMMERCIAL venture that surpassed expectations because of a lot of redneck assholes and their excellent excommunication of Barbie. Amen. This may work for a product only they drink (again - good marketing to idiots) but as far as REALITY is concerned, they're not too swuft on 'cause and effect'.
Now - is the green M&M looking for a break out movie career?
