When Barbie's feet fall flat she is off to the real world to fix it. <p></p><p>This was beyond forgettable and overall a disappointment. Aside from a three minute monologue rant from America Ferrera on what it is to be a woman it was a complete and total let down. </p><p>The script is all over the place and struggles to find its own focal point. The actors although well cast, seem unsure of what they are doing. And who at Mattel signed off on this??? Also, not hyped as a musical, it has a couple of random song and dance numbers reminiscent of the Gene Kelly days that were awkward and out of place.
