Seeing her in the movie has got many fans excited, and Twitter posts are proof of that.
The Robbie-Gosling chemistry
One of the things that Twitter users are looking forward to is the chemistry between the blonde beauty (Robbie) and her beau, Ken (Gosling). From their adorable romance where they speak of spending a night together to how Barbie is left disappointed when Ken joins her in the car with his rollerblades - their chemistry seems nothing less than adorable.
