Best Barbie movie quotes

By Alex Wiggan

When fantasy comedy, Barbie landed in cinema screens during summer 2023, the film quickly became a huge hit. Critics and audiences fell in love with the movie’s quirky aesthetic, its imaginative ideas, and its superb cast of characters, and it soon became a box-office sensation.

From Margot Robbie’s stereotypical Barbie, through to Ryan Gosling’s Ken, the film was loaded with great characters, who made the movie a lot of fun to watch. But the film was also a hoot because of its killer script which included some truly sizzling lines.

Today, in celebration of that script, I am taking a look back at some of the best quotes from Barbie. The lines set out below highlight the sheer brilliance of the movie, as well as its truly excellent writing.
