I thought the little sister doll (blanking on the name) was a teen and Barbie was a grown woman? And later a career woman!

[(Anonymous)]

Barbie has canonically run for President of the United States (Barbie for President, 1991), and the minimum age at which you're allowed to do that is 35. She has also had multiple careers that require advanced degrees, despite only occasionally being a genius. She is also, as you state, a teen model.
Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that Barbie's age is neither fixed nor linear, and she is always exactly as old or as young as required to make the bit work.

Good use of a secret, 'cause wow. That sure is an opinion.

Maybe, for the first time ever, Hollywood cast people based on their acting skills and not their looks.

I’d agree if they called her Classic Barbie but they didn’t. She’s Stereotypical Barbie, making her a chameleon of sorts. Her age could be anything between 25ish to 40ish depending on styling. That is by design.

And Ken always looked at least 35 or older to me as a kid in the 80s so I didn’t blink twice when he was cast.

Additionally, they both nailed their parts and that is far more important to me as a viewer.

I think I was mainly bothered by Ken's hair colour. I know he's styled based on a particular Ken doll but the colour looks terrible on Gosling and there were plenty of darker blonde or brown haired Kens.

I can't say I liked this movie much, but I think you're on the wrong track in a couple of different ways. I think you need to take a look at Barbie and Ken again. Maybe some versions early on of the two were teenagers, but I have to say as a young kid in the early eighties, neither looked like a teenager to me and I never pretended the were. She had her own house and car, not even touching on the careers that were had. And I think Margo Robbie looks a hell if a lot like the Barbie I had, which I'm pretty sure was just one in an outfit I liked (Issa Rae isn't too far off of the other one I had). But I kind of agree that Ryan Bowling doesn't really look like Ken - they got his hair all wrong, his face is too long and thin, and his smile isn't wide and cheesy enough (he was 42 when the movie came out, btw, but yeah he look like he's in his thirties there and that was fine with me). Jonathan Geoff actually looks a lot like the Ken Doll in my head.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree completely. I was never the biggest fan of Robbie, but when I heard the name Gosling, all bets were off. I've heard head and tails about how great a movie it is, but I'm never gonna watch it.

[(Anonymous)]

The age gripe is so weird to me. Margot and Ryan were perfect in their roles.

[(Anonymous)]

Say what you will about Kenough, but when Barbie appeared in that first scene in the iconic black and white outfit and winked down at the little girls, I was 100% amazed at how perfect Margot was for the role. She WAS Barbie.

I dunno, OP. It's a fandom, and IMO, that means if you're not enjoying it for any reason, then leaving is a valid decision. There's no prize trophy for sticking it out if you're not having fun.

I am house sitting for someone with a gorgeous pool and backyard and we are having chilly rainy weather. Normally this time of year is still baking hot. Cruel timing!
