Bratz: The Movie
Now Bratz what we call a cash-in
Plot
Four BFFs (Best Friends Forever) go to high school only to get split up into different cliques. Two years later, their combined "passion for fashion" finds them realising the importance of being good buddies. Review
Mercifully free of the dead-eyed hooker dolls that inspired it, Bratz concerns four girls who, as they constantly scream between rictus grins, are best friends forever. When they’re split up by a Mean Girls-ish clique system at high school, they spend two years apart before realising the importance of friendship, being oneself etc.
The whole thing reeks of loopy desperation, with only newcomer Logan Browning coming away unscathed as an all-singing, all-dancing Tracy Flick, while the usual empowering messages are muddied by the need to crowbar in the Bratz’ “passion for fashion”.
And yes, that is Jon Voight lurking wretchedly in the background as the school principal.
Verdict
Lessons about friendship and tolerance in this live-action toy story are sidelined in favour of a desire to increase unit sales.

| | We loved this film, it was pure girly fluff, It was great. I went with a 10yr old and a 9yr old and they loved it, I was very surprised to find the cinema full of teenagers more than kids, my 2 were the only kids there and some were even boys and listening to them chat outside they loved it too. ...

| | | Awful | | Never before have I seen such a dastardly excuse for a film. Not only was the plot thin, but it was a copy of Mean Girls or Clueless. Absolutely cringey. Terribly acted, bad story, bad editing and bad casting. In a word: BAD! ... More | | | Posted by dylzo at 11:31, 20 August 2007 | Report This Post | |
