Editorial Reviews: 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.

Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Cool Movie For Bratz Fans! Comment: Bratz: The Movie was the best ever movie I watched in my life! You learn about friendship and standing up to a bully. Bratz fans would SO love this movie! Customer Rating: Summary: Quite Bratz-tastic! Comment: Firstly, as the four Bratz girls (right) wake up at the start of the film, no-one is ever that perky in the morning. Especially on the first day of a new school term at Carry Nation High School, but these girls' idea of fun is to dress trendy and show everyone that they're cool, and who out of their friends can't fail to be impressed by wardrobes the size of Narnia, which even then have hidden compartments... Their nemesis is the evil Meredith (Chelsea Staub, below-right, relishing in this role) who is in a clique of her own as the school's student body president but has the lunchtime area broken down into 48 separate seating plans for each clique of goths, skaters, disco dorks, gangstas, wannabe gangstas, etc. She is the daughter of Principal Dimly (Jon Voight, who's rather sleepwalking through his performance), has a big-haired boyfriend called Cameron who looks like Any Joseph Will Do's Lee Mead, and her two best friends are Avery (Anneliese van der Pol) and Quinn (Malese Jow) to whom she talks down at every chance. She's so full of herself from dawn until dusk and has a small dog that fits in her handbag called Paris. Of the four girls playing the main characters, the actresses have similarly odd names. There's Jade (Janel Parrish) who's into science and fashion, Sasha (Logan Browning) is the cheerleader, Cloe (Skyler Shaye) is a bit of a clutz and plays women's football and, finally, Yasmin (Nathalia Ramos) is the main singer of the four, and whose character seems a bit too much of a sickly sweet all-American girl. Yasmin fancies Dylan, a school jock who is deaf but who doesn't sound deaf because he can speak perfect English. He also has hidden musical talents as he can play the piano and spins discs, but thinks he hasn't got a chance of being into music due to his disability. Hmm... hasn't he heard of Beethoven? The girls want to take over and rule the talent contest, but what may harm their friendship is that their new curriculum activities take them away from being together and split them off into their own groups. Two years later... we meet up with them and their differences are made more apparent with a food fight in the school dining area, but you know things will be back to normal before long, and as Yasmin becomes the singer out of the quartet, the others form her backing group and, thus, are born - Bratz, and they're going in for the talent show, the prize for which is a college scholarship, which they'll give to Cloe who is seemingly the only one of the four who seemingly comes from a poorhouse. There's a nice quote when it comes to shopping, the origins of which will go over the heads of this film's intended audience, as Sasha comes out with, "I love the smell of retail in the morning." Overall, in Bratz: The Movie, there's nothing new here. It's mostly the kind of thing that's drummed out for every generation, but it's done well for the generation who can't live without their iPhones and MySpace, so they'll greatly enjoy it, and it will also pass a reasonable 90 minutes or so for the adults that end up sitting through it as well.

Customer Rating: Summary: Bratz + Santa = Perfect Present Comment: 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!! Customer Rating: Summary: I LOVE THIS FILM!! Comment: 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!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Bratitude! Comment: The Bratz movie was way better than I thought it would be! It just goes to show that now matter how different you and your friends are there is nothing to stop you from supporting each others passions and remain best friends forever! A must see for all fans of teen movies, this is alot better than the other teen movies around at the moment, the songs, the food fights and the parties make it a must see! Get some Bratitude quick!
