Eww she looks so old! Barbie is meant to be about youth and beauty! 21 years old!

She looks like a mom who does the school run, not the blonde beauty.

I think they can't choose a more suitable actress for the same reason modeling agencies now use overweight models, so average girls could feel good about themselves.

Remember, these movies are not made for men.

First of all, no she looks hot. Second, I dunno why you'd think a mom who runs a school is automatically supposed to conjure images of some ghastly matron, but it doesn't. Third, Barbies have always been about girls imagining themselves as older, so not technically representative of youth at all. Barbie was a career woman, she wore ball gowns, she owned her own house and car. None of this indicates she was ugly, because she wasn't and isn't, and Margot Robbie certainly isn't either.

The movie actually made fun of these comments.

This is so sexist - you are commenting like this on Margot Robbie who is only 33, yet it doesn't even occur to you to say anything about the 42y.o. Ken doll that is Ryan Gosling.

He looked like a gay crocodile dundee, so I also have issues with him. But he is just a side character.

I’ve seen some hot moms at the school run before. ;)
