Bratz are four best friends who are also fashion enthusiasts. While attending their first year of high school they must unite against a dictator student body president, who is making plans to divide them in multiple social groups.
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.

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