3/5 Barbie And The Three Musketeers
  by Lori Rosen (Stevenson Ranch, CA USA)
After seeing this movie, Barbie and the Three Musketeers, I began to have second thoughts about it. It was an okay movie, but here are some pro's and con's.
Pros:
1. The music was trendier than other movies.
2. The bond between the four girls was quite believable.
3. Kelly Sheridan was the main role in the movie, and lately, she hasn't, so this was definitely a perk.
4. The movie had some serious girl power!
5. The kitten was adorable, and I think it's cute how she wanted to be a "Musk-cat-eer."
Cons:
1. My daughter enjoys the more "princess-y" movies, and this one, in our opinion, had too much fighting.
2. It didn't exactly have that "Barbie Charm" to it, and it's a bit too hard to explain what it is.
3. It just really didn't make me feel good after viewing it.

So overall, I didn't really like the movie, but maybe it just wasn't my taste.

4/5 My daughter loves Barbie movies

This one is as good or better than the others. Great story line and my daughter can watch it over and over and she is almost 4 yrs. old.

1/5 A Sad Downturn in the Quality of this Series
  by Annag Chandler (San Francisco, Ca United States)
I have most of the other Barbie movies [just for my own guilty pleasure, no kids in my household anymore] and I have to say that this is the weakest of the lot.

The Prince is a sad excuse for a masculine protagonist and dragging Barbie so far out of any recognizable female role just destroys all believability in the movie. Have the writers run out of all credible female roles for Barbie to play that they must resort to having her do "crouching tiger, hidden tiger" type moves in mini-skirts in what is supposed to be pre-Revolutionary France?

Please, give us more on the order of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, Rapunzel, Swan Lake, or the Magic of Pegasus. Oh, and leave the cutesy modern lingo behind -- responding "sure" when the Prince asks Corinne to dance isn't hip, it's just stupid.

5/5 She loved it!

This was purchased for my neice. My sister says she hasn't stopped watching it since she got it.

5/5 A 6 year old favorite - Barbie as Karate Kid
  by pipet (California)
This movie currently ranks #1 as my daughter's favorite Barbie movie, and it's one of her favorite movies overall. The storyline is cute and holds her attention, and the modern music (especially a remake of EMF's Unbelievable) has her dancing around the living room, much to my amusement. The parent in me likes that Barbie has friends with varied skin colors and talents (though of course one can criticize that they are all thin and beautiful), and the message that girls (or anyone, even the dreamer Prince) can do whatever they dream of doing is great. My daughter also noticed and commented that Barbie had a lot to learn from the older woman in the movie. I liked that Barbie recognizes the hypocrisy of the Prince in having his own dreams but denying the dreams of others, and in the end, Barbie is too busy foiling plots to kill the King to go off on a date:)

Extras: there are bloopers which send my daughter into the giggles, and the video of the kitty singing Unbelievable is one of her favorites.

Overall:
While the plot is crazy and unrealistic, the movie is entertaining to a kid and provides a storyline that is age appropriate. Yes, it's a bit saccharine, but that's perfect for the target audience, and it is amusing enough to me to make it tolerable (which is good since this movie is requested all the time).
