Amazon.co.uk Review
Get your Bratitude on! Bratz, the life-action film featuring the four sassy tween-queen doll characters, drives home the kid- and (parent-) friendly messages of being true to yourself, and friendship above all else. If some kickass fashion and retail therapy help deliver those pearls of wisdom, who's going to complain?

The action centres on our favorite BFFs, Jade, Cloe, Sasha, and Yasmin, starting high school together at Carry Nation High, and navigating through the rigid clique system that seems destined to force the girls apart. Along the way, there are fireworks (created by brainy Jade in chem class), food fights, and lots of cute guys to crush on. Ruling over all: Meredith Baxter Dimly, the Baby Doc Duvalier of high-school politics, somehow managing to be student-body president for at least three years running (maybe the fact that her pop is the principal has something to do with her anointment). Meredith, played to a scheming fare-thee-well by Chelsea Staub, is a formidable villain, but our girls realize nothing can come between true friends, if they just stick together. The climactic comeuppance scene--set at Carry Nation's annual talent show--will have Bratz fans clapping on their feet.

The film's soundtrack is upbeat and catchy, and features big names like the Black Eyed Peas and Ashlee Simpson, and the two show-stoppers sung by Staub as Meredith. And that's a Bratz-wrap! --A.T. Hurley

Synopsis
Director Sean McNamara (RAISE YOUR VOICE) tackles teenage cliques, the power of friendship, and the importance of individuality with characters based on the Bratz dolls. Sasha (Logan Browning), Jade (Janel Parrish), Yasmin (Nathalia Ramos), and Cloe (Skyler Shaye) are four free-spirited teens who are thick as thieves as they start their first year at Carry Nation High School. But soon, everything changes. Principal Dimly's (Jon Voight) daughter, Meredith Baxter Dimly (Chelsea Staub), rules the school with an iron fist, ensuring that all the students stay where they belong in their respective cliques. Although these four best friends try to buck the school's trend and remain close, their academic and extracurricular interests pull them in different directions until they realise that staying friends, being true to themselves, and following their dreams are more important than anything else.
This candy-coloured high school world is clearly the stuff of fantasy. Teenage fashion hasn't been this funky and fabulous since CLUELESS. And what would a movie about teenage girls be without cute, sensitive, teenage boys like Dylan (Ian Nelson), Cameron (Stephen Lunsford), and Dexter (Chet Hanks), not to mention a spectacular MTV-style Super Sweet Sixteen party and some show-stopping musical numbers? Amidst the fun and fluff, BRATZ manages to convey some important messages about self-esteem, diversity, and loyalty. Staub is deliciously evil as the narcissistic student body president who is determined to keep the Bratz in their place and maintain her empire. Veteran actor Jon Voight's dim-witted Dimly is wrapped around his daughter's finger. Lainie Kazan plays Yasmin's grandmother, and Kadeem Hardison (Dwayne Wayne from A DIFFERENT WORLD) is Sasha's father.

Bratz + Santa = Perfect Present
I have to say that this film is in a class of its own! As a father of 3 I know that this is something that my daughters will love this Christmas and they will be finding it under the tree!

All four girls are fantastic and Meredith is just hilarious! I also think the film has such a positive message to young girls about being true to your friends that parents really should make this investment. This live-action fest really is miles away from the image that the Bratz dolls portray and will surely teach kids about bullying in a way that they can relate and understand.

I can only hope that next year Bratz 2 will be making its way down the chimney!!

I LOVE THIS FILM!!
Bratz: The Movie is simply full of fun, friendship and fashion. It was one of the best films I've seen all year and it has to be said that it is definitely 100 times better than High School Musical and Mean Girls!!! I can't get over how amazing the storyline, the singing, dancing and acting actually were! I could watch this movie over and over again!!!

bright bouncy brilliant bratz
All four girls give a storming performance and all provide likeable and believable characters. Its fun, but serious issues are not glossed over, bullying and high school clicks are shown for what they really are. Meredith - Chelsea Stubbs - is fantastic as a manipulative, self obsessed control freak, who is determined to have everything her way or no way! The Bratz girls show the importance of friendship and individualism - you can be completely different but still share a bond. The musical numbers from Meredith are my personal highlight - I loved the sweet sixteen reference. Bratz The Movie - hurray for all things pink!
