How did this film get a theatrical release?

| Original Score: .5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020

BRATZ. It's all about friendship, fashion and fun. And a whole lot of Brattitude. This is one time being a brat is a good thing.

| Nov 7, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 7, 2013

Faced with the heroines' high-pitched shrieking, though, you'll soon be feeling enviouz of the deaf dreamboat one of them falls for.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 7, 2013

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."

It's derivative stuff, and played very straight despite its comical aspirations: this is Mean Girls without the irony.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

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.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 7, 2010

It spouts mush about being true to your friends and to yourself but admits you also need awesome clothes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 4, 2008

Sadly, the fact that it's attached to a successful toyline means it barely matters whether it's good or not.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 20, 2008

Bratz is a surprisingly watchable movie. It could certainly have been a lot worse.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 7, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 22, 2007

Lessons about friendship and tolerance in this live-action toy story are sidelined in favour of a desire to increase unit sales.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2007

A cloying, tween-oriented confection that clearly doesn't think much of its target audience.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 31, 2007

The cast and crew bring to the project the refreshing energy, pop and fizz of a cold diet soda on a hot summer day.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 30, 2007

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.
