Movie Info
The most popular fashion dolls in America make the leap to the big screen in this live-action adventure that follows four diverse teenage girls who make the jump from middle school to high school, only to find that their four-part friendship doesn't fit into the rigid clique system at their new institution. Fed up with being torn apart, the girls each reject the their respective cliques and reclaim their own group where friendship takes precedence over popularity. Unfortunately, this causes the

Bratz: The Movie Trailer & Photos
All Critics (77) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (70) | DVD (4)
It's derivative stuff, and played very straight despite its comical aspirations: this is Mean Girls without the irony.
Top CriticWith all apologies to Liza Minnelli, Bratz with a z simply goes zzzzz...
Not that I was expecting much out of a movie based on a line of dolls, but this is an amateur production that should have gone straight to basic cable.
A silly movie that's essentially a series of clichés strung together into a semblance of a movie.
Bratz is a disappointment because the characters come off less as the girly superheroes they should be, and more as, well, brats.
Others who watch with more sense than adoration will likely be dumbfounded by the venal messages of pettiness and possession that the movie honors above all else.
We are regaled with the spectacle of sparky girl characters, who are aimed squarely at an impressionable tween girl audience, walking about in the sorts of high-fashion outfits you normally see on a catwalk or in the bar of a five-star hotel.
Faced with the heroines' high-pitched shrieking, though, you'll soon be feeling enviouz of the deaf dreamboat one of them falls for.
When I walked out during the end credits, Voight was spying on our triumphant heroines through binoculars, making me feel even dirtier than when I sheepishly approached the box office and requested, "One for Bratz, please."
How do our flighty young heroines fight back? By shopping, of course. There is no problem, it seems, a new tube top and mini-skirt can't fix.
Sadly, the fact that it's attached to a successful toyline means it barely matters whether it's good or not.
Bratz is a surprisingly watchable movie. It could certainly have been a lot worse.
The flashy foursome seemingly insist from the outset that they're no Barbies. Or are they.
By right Bratz should have had no potential at all. Yet it is still disappointing to see the handful of clever ideas and heartfelt themes smothered by corporate, focus-group filmmaking.
Material girls in immaterial comedy for tweens.
Lessons about friendship and tolerance in this live-action toy story are sidelined in favour of a desire to increase unit sales.
A cloying, tween-oriented confection that clearly doesn't think much of its target audience.
The cast and crew bring to the project the refreshing energy, pop and fizz of a cold diet soda on a hot summer day.
Whoever thought that "Bratz" deserved the attention of this screenplay should be spanked.
Bratz (freaky looking teen dolls for girls whose parents won't let them play with real teenagers) is now a high school movie made for people in Grade 6.
Bad even by the low standards of its genre.
The ultracommercialized result of taking a lucrative doll line and feeding it through the Disney Channel actress-singer hyphenate starlet machine.
It's all rather flat and inept.
An utterly harmless time-passer, but one which has little appeal beyond its target audience.
Apparently Jon Voight can do worse than "Baby Geniuses 2"
