Plot

The Portland Art Museum writes, "paralleling the history of Barbie with cultural events of the past half century, I, Doll is as humorous as it is comprehensive." The Barbie doll -- originally modeled after "Lilli," a German prostitute doll -- is seriously yet humorously examined in this documentary by Tula Asselanis. Interviews with fans, criticism of Barbie's dangerously unrealistic body image, and hilarious facts combine to explore the pros and cons of the Barbie phenomenon. ~ Carrie Downes, All Movie Guide
