The popular Bratz dolls come to life in their first live-action feature film. Finding themselves being pulled further and further apart, the fashionable four band together to fight peer pressure, learn what it means to stand up for your friends, be true to oneself and live out your dreams.
Bratz is a disappointment because the characters come off less as the girly superheroes they should be, and more as, well, brats.

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

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.

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

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