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

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

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

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

It's all rather flat and inept.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 18, 2007

An utterly harmless time-passer, but one which has little appeal beyond its target audience.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2007

With all apologies to Liza Minnelli, Bratz with a z simply goes zzzzz...

| Original Score: 2/6 | Aug 10, 2007

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.

Full Review | Aug 9, 2007

A silly movie that's essentially a series of clichs strung together into a semblance of a movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 6, 2007

Bratz is a disappointment because the characters come off less as the girly superheroes they should be, and more as, well, brats.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 3, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 3, 2007

The proud owners of Bratz dolls almost surely have had more imaginative fantasies about them than anything onscreen.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 3, 2007

[An] excruciatingly inane high-school comedy inspired by a line of sexually suggestive dolls aimed at 9-year-old girls.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 3, 2007

The best that can be said about the big-screen Bratz is that they are not nearly as appalling as their toy-shelf twins.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 3, 2007

O.M.G! This movie is SO BAD!

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 3, 2007

Parents beware. Bratz will rot your child's mind, drain her soul and likely encourage early Botox dependency.

| Original Score: D+ | Aug 3, 2007

If you let your daughter see this movie, set aside time to discuss the sea of mixed messages.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 3, 2007

Frivolous, and ultimately forgettable? Of course. But if this movie is about high school tolerance, then superficial teenagers deserve our compassion, too.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 3, 2007

This atrocious comedy doesn't have an idea in its head but still screams at the top of its lungs, taking pains to distinguish between its rich heroines and their even richer enemies (including Jon Voight).

| Aug 3, 2007

If you ever wanted a movie to put in the time capsule so future generations can puzzle over the bankruptcy of our current kiddie culture, Bratz is it.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 3, 2007
