00:02 Get out of town!

00:03 Oh my God, you're going to the Barbie movie!

00:06 It was a surprise with a reaction that was priceless.

00:10 Robert Foster became the husband of the year

00:12 after planning this epic evening for his wife, Diane,

00:16 and 25 of their friends to see the Barbie movie

00:19 where they live in Nebraska.

00:20 He rented out the whole theater.

00:22 Wow, my dad and I are just so blown away

00:25 by how many people are so excited

00:27 about the surprise he has planned for my mother

00:29 and her friends.

00:30 The couple's daughter, Mary, helped with the idea.

00:33 His first idea was that him and several of his friends

00:37 go out to dinner together and tell all their wives

00:39 that they're actually gonna go see Oppenheimer

00:42 and make kind of a big deal about how excited they are

00:44 for this movie, and then when they actually get

00:46 to the theater, surprise them and take them

00:47 to Barbie instead.

00:49 I thought this was hilarious, but almost immediately,

00:52 he thought of a bigger and better idea.

00:55 I suggested he rent out a theater.

00:56 Fast forward to today, he calls me,

00:59 he told me he booked a theater.

01:00 Then the father and daughter duo took it even further

01:03 and planned a huge party with favors

01:05 and a backdrop for photo ops.

01:08 I'm well aware that this has gotten a bit out of hand,

01:11 but I think everybody, along with myself,

01:14 has just gotten caught up in the excitement

01:15 that is the Barbie movie, as well as encouraging my dad

01:19 and his friends with the surprise party they have planned.

01:21 The backstory to get everyone to the surprise

01:23 was to say it was a fundraiser for breast cancer research,

01:27 and since the color for breast cancer awareness is pink,

01:30 it worked.

01:31 But I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

01:33 Breast cancer is something that runs in my family,

01:35 and this organization means the world to my mother and I.

01:38 We have done stuff multiple times now with them in the past,

01:41 and so this genuinely is now a real fundraiser.

01:44 Oh my God, it's one of the Barbie movies!

01:46 (screaming)

01:47 And since the surprise became a fundraiser,

01:49 they raised $5,000

01:51 for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

01:54 Power of Barbie.
