I loved trolls much more than I loved Barbies!
What I've heard about this movie makes it seem like a knock off of "Legally Blonde," which I really liked, curiously. Here's a review from another Hivean I follow closely. It's interesting, to me at least, that you found Ken a central figure, and she thought he was a nobody in the film. (I exaggerate) So much for gender studies.

But I am very happy you two had a date night!
I was never into either - I was one of those kids who grew up without much by way of popular characters. Probably because most of what I got was handmedown from @galenkp :D
Ken was key. I think on the surface level, people carry in their opinions based on what they have read or, what they think it is meant to be. But while people focus on the obvious "toxic masculinity", how I saw the development of Ken was more of how the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction, and it is just as toxic. For me, it was a movie about the irony of the situation, more than it was to highlight some kind of girl power.
The pendulum has definitely swung the too far. It has swung into downright perverse if you ask me, surreal, bizarre. And yes, toxic. You and honeydue have got me wanting to see the darn thing. Too bad I have to travel 30 miles to the nearest theater, and probably won't.
