Summary

The highly popular dolls BRATZ finally come alive in BRATZ, the first live action feature film based on the chic fashion dolls. As long as they can remember, Yasmin, Jade, Sasha and Cloe have been "BFF" - Best Friends Forever. Inseparable since they first met, the young girls have always supported each other's individual personalities, talents and fabulous fashion styles. But now as the foursome enter Carry Nation High, Yasmin, Jade, Sasha and Cloe face a brand new world: a blackboard jungle, where for the first time they discover life as a teenager means dealing with a system of social cliques, all strictly enforced by student body president Meredith Baxter Dimly. Finding themselves being pulled further and further apart, the girls band together and rise up as "the Bratz" to fight peer pressure, in turn learning how true empowerment means standing up for your friends, being true to oneself and living out one's dreams & aspirations. (Lionsgate)

TV Guide Adam Schubak
Thanks to the smart casting of Jon Voight as the school’s principal and Lainie Kazan as Yasmin’s beloved Bubbie, the two-hour run time won't be a complete bore for adults.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein
While often cliche ridden and preposterous, it's too busy and loud to put anyone to sleep.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden
Finally, a postfeminist multicultural musical extravaganza for 8-year-old girls. Is Bratz not the most totally stylin' movie ever? Grownups won't think so, but for their daughters who share a "passion for fashion" with the dolls that are giving Barbie a run for her money, it will be the event of the season.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Gregory Kirschling
A movie based on a doll line, is an M&M-colored high school fantasia for aspirational 10- and 12-year-old girls who'll be shocked (or, hopefully, delighted) when they get to ninth grade and find out life isn't so super-Bratz-fabulous.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
Bratz's strong anti-clique sermonizing would be slightly more convincing if it weren't tethered to a movie romanticizing the most awesome clique ever.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Teresa Wiltz
This is a movie for a grade-schooler's -- a female grade-schooler's -- sensibility. It's earnest, silly and sweet, with just enough food fights and musical numbers to keep everyone else from gagging on the goo.
Read Full Review >Variety John Anderson
Bratz’s references and parodies are consistently on-target, if always way too over-the-top. Every line of dialogue could plausibly take an exclamation point.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
A silly movie that's essentially a series of clichés strung together into a semblance of a movie.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The best that can be said about the big-screen Bratz is that they are not nearly as appalling as their toy-shelf twins.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
Arriving as inevitably as puberty, Bratz introduces the swollen-headed, fashion-addicted dolls of the title to a live-action movie.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Jessica Gross
In the end, the most offensive part of Bratz isn't its stereotypes or brand expansion; it's the sorry state of Jon Voight's career.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times John Anderson
It's a movie on the wrong side side of the so-bad-it's-good line.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
The most horrifying film of 2007, Bratz is based on the popular line of collagen-lipped, doe-eyed slut-ette dolls and their male companions, "the boys with a passion for fashion ... and the Bratz!" (In other words, they're bi-curious.)
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
This atrocious comedy doesn't have an idea in its head but still screams at the top of its lungs.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
A live-action film based on a line of dolls, it's pure marketing chum for tweeners: a proudly shallow, purposefully bland ode to girly-girl narcissism. I could actually feel my brain stem shrivel up as I watched it.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
No, Bratz, an unwitting and witless critique of American consumerism run amok, does not star Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Connie Ogle
In the end, Bratz celebrates something even more important than good grades or good friends: the vital acquisition of totally awesome shoes. Fitting for a movie that exists only to separate you from your paycheck.

This movie screams of the consumerism that gave the dolls their success.
Ben E. gave it a0:
Sad, sad and sad. What has become of the film industry when a film like this is released.
Credible C. gave it a0:
I haven't seen this film. But I don't need to see it. I've got half a brain, and money that will be spent on things other than this film and this franchise.
Julia A. gave it a0:
Bratz should stay as dolls...in real life, they're the complete personification of the stereotypical airheaded popular girls. Didn't the producers already know that right when they planned this movie?? all hail materialism.
R. G. gave it a0:
Cool, I didn't know they made a kiddie version of Mean Girls! (Even though I hate that movie).
Girl FannyMac gave it a10:
These are my favorite actors!!! I can't believe the theatre was empty except for me and My grandma fannymac! She loved it too and she has incredibly good taste.
Kevin D. gave it a0:
Hahahaha. They made a movie out of these sluts? Wow.
