Judging by some of the stories to have come out of the production of Greta Gerwig's "Barbie," the making of the movie was a delight for everyone involved. For instance, /Film recently reported that the cast of the film kicked off filming with a slumber party for all the Barbies. Kens were not invited, although they were welcome to visit briefly, send gifts, or call in to say hello. Not surprisingly, Michael Cera, the actor to play the nondescript non-Ken Allan, was not invited to even say hello. Gerwig also held screenings every Sunday morning -- a kind of "movie church" -- to communicate to her cast what vibe she was seeking. The director even wrote a short prayer to Barbie that she recited to Warner Bros. executives. The film was playful and bubbly because the production was playful and bubbly.
