“Reasonably Barbie” was developed out of frustration with the North American “Beauty Guidelines,” outlined by mass media and advertising. Divided into two parts, the film allows many women (and men too) to take an objective look at the North American “Beauty Myth” starting with a splash of humour and then moving to a more serious approach. The filmmaker hopes that the film will encourage young women to stop hurting themselves for fashion and inspire them to come to realize their own self worth.
