Not actually as good as I remember this being on second viewing. Ryan Gosling is amazing as usual and the movie is held up by a great soundtrack - but it leaves the feeling that it would have been better titled as "Ken". The best parts all involve the character and the main storyline involving Barbie becoming a real girl feels completely lacking (maybe this doesn't have the same impact since I'm not a woman).
On rewatch this is actually worse than I remember it being. The movie tries to make it feel like it's a kid but this is a grown ass man and he's not likeable enough for it to feel good at the end.
Ryan Reynolds makes Pikachu so annoying at points - too much wise cracking and it's cliché and corny but not in a good way. His voice just doesn't fit either - not cute enough.
As corny as a romcom can get - but I'm totally here for it.
It's a really upbeat movie and keeps me smiling throughout. Robert Sheehan is somewhat of a coup for a locally released movie like this and plays the pretentious geeky music guy perfectly.
