Review of Barbie: A Fairy Secret

This is a movie that seems to want to push simple messages, one about not letting grudges get the better of you and another about the importance of friendship. Instead, we just get a 75 minute ad. These positive messages get overshadowed by a near constant presence of fashion and shopping that doesn't contribute much positively. A lot of the characters are either one dimensional or just plot devices, with any attempts at depth being poorly written. Every character basically has romance or shopping on their mind with no room for anything else. Everything else from the animation to the music to the humor is mediocre at best, but the characters really drag it down. I don't recommend it.
