I'm not sure if was meant to be "deep", I think it was meant to be a bit satirical and a lot of tongue in cheek. I don't think they were setting out to make a masterpiece, but a sharp take on mid life crisis and societys demands of women, including the monotinization of their escapism driven by corporate (men) stooges.

I'm not sure what opportunity was missed in a movie about capitalism utopia as portrayed by glamour dolls.

Set ups for the punchlines that seemed to come out of nowhere, even a hint as to why having Barbieland go back to a matriarchy was better than something balanced to follow up on the whole Kens being second class citizens. Not that I wanted to spend more time on the Kens, just like a line or two that addresses the weird situation that they explicitly set up.
