Aaaaugh! My Eyes! My Ears! My Brain! All Ruined!

Aaaaaaauuuugh!!!! This movie was so awful it makes me wish I had been struck blind and deaf as a child! I watched it with 2 friends, to try for an MST3K style viewing but.... it doesn't work!!! One of my friends became very still, and started attracting flies halfway through the film, and another one became temporarily quadriplegic from watching this! I'm 20... I haven't cried for any reason since I was 12, and this movie brought me to tears. Not from laughter, not sadness... it was SO bad, I had no emotions that could be connected to this film, and I just started crying because nothing else quite fit. If these people tried to perform like this two thousand years ago, they would have been stoned to death. The acting was so terrible, I think I lost my faith in mankind. The materialism in this movie was so... I can't even think of an adequate adjective to describe it... No wonder there are countries that want to see our way of life crumble... after seeing this movie, I almost agree with them. The MST3K guys would be speechless, watching this. It's so awful, no one could possibly lampoon this movie. It's too terrible to properly mock and satirize. I feel really terrible for the companies that sponsored this. They really lost out on this investment. The attempts at throwing in messages about individualism and inner strength would have worked, if there hadn't been the "be yourself, but dress fashionably to be accepted" message splayed across this film like roadkill. It's a good thing I didn't have any forks, or acetylene torches nearby... or I would have tried to stab/burn my brain out. I seriously considered gnawing my own leg off several times, to escape watching this film. I actually lost the ability to breathe after about 40 minutes of this film... I eventually remembered how, but it took a while. Not good... My roommate has completely lost his mind... he asks questions like, if Darth Vader showed up at our door, should we hang out with him, and some remarks about hollowed out breasts and orange juice... he's completely lost his mind.

Don't watch this movie if you value your sanity!!!

What a way to ruin a birthday party.

Ugh. The first words that came out of my mouth when I found out my friend's sister wanted to see this for her birthday. First off, I have never bothered to play with Bratz dolls once in my life, nor will I ever. This movie has got to have some of the worst dialog in a movie ever. (Note to script writers: If you really have to put "OMG" as an actual spoken line, then I think it's time to rethink your career) After this monstrosity finally ended, I looked to my friend and we looked to her sister, who then informed us that the movie was horrible. In the words of the Bratz Girls: "Like OMG! No way!" Seriously, if you want to ruin someone's birthday, then I recommend Bratz: The Movie.

This movie is the worst

I was just reading some comment before i decided to make my own, this guy honestly believes this film deserves a 10/10 rating. Yes that's right, according to this guy the film Bratz is a perfect masterpiece with impeccable acting, dialogue and story, backed up by Oscar worthy directing and screenplay. At least that's what a film with a 10/10 rating should be. Bratz is not. This is possibly the *worst* film i have ever seen. This film does not even deserve a 1/10 it is that bad. Im not trying to spite this film, i am honestly speaking my feelings for this film here, i have never felt more insulted, never have i cringed so much in a film and i actually felt embarrassed by some of the scenes i have had the misfortune of watching.

Stay away from this film at all costs. It will scar your brain forever.

An utter disappointment

Worst movie ever. Luckily, I didn't go to it with high hopes. The acting was horrific, the entire way through I had a strong urge to strangle every actor/actress who participated in it, as they could simply NOT act. The four main characters were so plastered in makeup, I couldn't make out what they actually looked like. The plot, lines and scenes were so cringeworthy, I had to look down and pretend I was somewhere else.

This is coming from a twelve year old girl, so don't think it's biased. I have never, ever willed a movie to end before, but I found myself considering walking out of the theatre. I sincerely hope someone realizes what a mistake this movie was, and destroys all proof of its existence. No one, not even children, should ever have to set eyes on this abomination.

The person who let this crap be released does not deserve to be involved with the movie industry.

This film has put me off moving to America and/or having children

Well...first off..just why. If the intention of writing this film was simply because the last time a movie has been this cringe-worthy was Britney Spears' Crossroads, then the idea was a nail hit directly on the head.

If you feel any emotion, be it happiness, joy, elation or even sadness (in context to the film, as opposed to its existence) during the running time of this film, you are unfortunately a biased person...or are 2 years old, in which case you would not have the mental capacity to read this or form opinion throughout the film...except for when to soil yourself during its run time.

The sad truth is that this film was surely doomed from the start. No-one would in their right mind would write, direct and produce this film, under the impression that anyone would actually enjoy it except for toddlers...and, unfortunately, that peculiar clique...young girls who actually assume that they and there friends are actually Bratz.

"Oh, that film was totally written about us," they say.

Unfortunately...it probably was.

A new fund raiser for Lanie and Jon!

My youngest two will not be seeing "Bratz" as I could not find anything about it worth merit in the preview. I do not allow the collagen-laced plastic ladies in my home, thinking it would be better to invite professional women of the evening to my home to play with the girls than the molded mini-ho variety. At least they would learn some class and depth. My girls will not grace the movie in the theaters (I am sorry I did), and it will NOT come to our home when in DVD.

But I digress. Obviously, those veteran actors of rich talent, Lanie Kazan and Jon Voight, have some sort of money troubles. For both of them to appear in this, they must have reached dire straits indeed! I cannot begin to imagine what financial crisis both of them face, but appeal to the Industry: Please- You all take up causes and collections for everything from flood victims to stray presidential candidates. Can't you once help your own, and start the Kazan-Voight Foundation? They will appreciate your assistance, and not have to stoop to such menial prostitution of their talent!

It was long, stupid, slow, boring...

Okay, it looks like this film was created to do two things; Obviously, the first one is to give little girls another movie to add to their collection of princess/bubblegum memorabilia. The second one was likely to keep some of those girls off the street for at least two hours. For about a week, they (the makers) seemed to have accomplished both of those. On top of that, some parents decided to tag along because of the perception that is was good for the entire family... They couldn't have been more WRONG, because it seemed like a dumbed-down version of 'The O-C', written in a day care center. On top of that, girls who DO watch this film will be(or have been) convinced that they must be hip and cool to survive. In its time, the Bratz enterprise has killed more brain cells than a MILLION Coca-Colas. And there's NO upside to this film! It was long, stupid, slow, boring, obnoxious and incapable of keeping anyone's attention without using a weapon of some sort! I ask all you fine people, "WHAT DID ANYBODY SEE IN IT?!?!"

I Felt Violated

As a teenager- I enjoy cheesy pre-teen films- just for the laugh. However, after I saw this- I felt violated. Girls at that age never say 'OMG' or 'BFF'. There is cheesy and just stupid! I also think it sends out a really bad message to pre-teens or younger girls; all these girls are too pretty and no one can be so popular and likable and it happens that they all get guys. I can't think of a worse film I've seen, and I've seen a lot of crappy films. The acting was rubbish and the actresses who are supposed to be 16 or 17 actually look like they are 30! And what I hated most of all was how unrealistic it was; it just happened that they could all sing, dance, and bake! And it so happens that they are all pretty. Whoever would watch this film more than once should be shot! Don't watch it unless you want to waste two hours of your life...

Perpetuating All American Stereotypes

This movie..... Was a cornucopia, an easter egg basket even, a bucket full o' American Stereotypes! Particularly with the characters. You could literally point every stereotype out within say 7 minutes of the movie. Let's start with....

Yasmin: Your typical, American written "Mexican". One house, one family, 500 people.

Sasha: Apart of your typical "African Anerican" family. Divorced parents, jumping between living at both parents houses. Parents wont speak to each other

Cloe: Simple. Typical dumb, sporty, clumsy and ditzy, but amazingly gorgeous blonde.

Meredith: Typical Blonde, Rich little "daddy's girl" who always has to have her way. And of course, leader of the Popular Group at school, with her brunette and ginger sidekicks. Oh yeah, also undeserving Student Body President. Yup, Daddy's the principal of the school.

Jade: Typical Asian-American girl with strict mother who over burdens her with academic work, Jade has to act like she loves all of it, but has a secret rebellious side.

If that doesn't scream American cultural movie character stereotypes, I don't know what does. And I found all of this out within I kid you not, less than 7 minutes of watching this movie.

I let my case speak for itself.

This film was doomed to fail from the start. I mean, c'mon, a film based on little sexualized urban "Barbies"?!?! Its just amazing what Hollywood would do to make a quick buck out of this derivative piece of uninspired pretentious "image conscious" POS. The main "characters" are just clones of those from yesteryear of film. Put simply, this film just plain sucks. IT SUCKS!!! John Voight, has, up to this point, belittled himself to the detriment of himself...literally. What actor would star in this? Is it for the money or to push up against these "beampoles"? The main idea of this film is image, just what perception of image as laid out in this film is anyone's judgement.

Little kids or fans of these "Urban Barbies" may like this film for its "merit" but only from a kid's point of view. Adults, please take heed and do your best to try and wipe this film's existence from your mind. Like Morpheus said to Neo in the Matrix: Free your mind.

Don't watch it

One of the worst movies. Its like a student short but feature! Why does it even exist, how they were able to pitch that awful script to get budget?!

So many questions, not enough answers.

Lets start with the actresses. Its so clear that the only one person who knows at least remotely how to ...perform lets call it... is a black hair girl. No clue what is her character name, they all are so plain, blend together, there no depth of the characters, that it doesn't even make sense to differentiate them one from another while watching.

However let's not to blame these girls for the poor acting result. Without blaming the director! Well it seems like the director (Sean McNamara) is specializing on this kind of level movies. He evolved a bit with his another movie from 2022. And its only fair to mention that at 2007 when Bratz were shot he was less experienced so he might (definitely did) overlook poor acting, betting simply on high pitch voices, wide smiles, vividly sad emotions.

Overall overacting, constant music, bad script and lack of logic in dialogues are simply destroying this movie.

This movie was probably okay-ish for mid scholl girls back in 2007. But nowadays its not classic, good or funny, its bad taste poor quality movie that has to be forgotten.

Unfortunately I had to watch it against my will.

Brat movie

Bratz, a movie based on the franchise terribly bad and boring!

The premise is not the best, the plot of the film is based on spoiled protagonists rivaling an antagonist who is also spoiled, in a singing competition with a scholarship on the line, and a boyfriend of one of the group of the protagonist girls who is deaf and for some idiotic reason loves music... Then the film has so many stupid scenes as mentioned little the hearing-impaired boy who listens to music by putting his hands on the speaker to feel the vibrations or like the one of the antagonist who "humigates" one of the protagonists by showing a picture of her on how she dresses in the morning... The soundtrack then makes you want to rip your ears off from how bad it is.

A pointless film that teases the viewer.

what has the world come to when a film based on dolls that teach girls to be sluts is made?

this movie is the worst thing ever made. even worse than Jaws the Revenge. My little cousin (girl) likes Bratz (the dolls)and had thoughts about seeing the movie. well i'm glad she didn't see it! this movie and the dolls teach little girls how to be sluts. that girl meredith was the most annoying little bitch i've ever seen on a movie screen, the four lead actresses are just your typical 20 something year old whores who can't act trying to make it big, and not even John Voight (that's right, JOHN VOIGHT) could save this film. I'm very close to my little cousin, and she looks up to me. i personally told her not to see the film because it would make her feel unpretty and stupid. i'm very glad she followed my advice. if you're a shallow low-life crackhead who thinks fashion and acting like a bitchy slut is what life is all about, then this movie is for you. i'm serious this movie is so bad, bad acting, stupid plot, and EXTREMELY ANNOYING CHARACTERS. 1/10

This is bad and you should feel bad...

I've seen a lot of bad films, for comedic purposes, but this is by far the worst.

I cant believe people are defending this as being "A movie for little girls". If you show this movie to children, you are a bad parent.

Its the most vapid "film" in existence and will do nothing but breed future contestants for "The only way is Essex" and "Jersey Shore".

Now I know what is being shown at Guantanamo

I have fortunately never been diagnosed with a terminal disease but I would imagine the shock of such an announcement would be on par with watching this movie. First off, the cast has the same racial make up as USA for Africa with a Latino girl hanging out with an Asian girl, a black girl, and what I originally thought was some lost member of the Russian Aristocricy but ended up being poor even though she had a huge house and her introduction to the movie dealt w/ her enormous shoe collection: funny, a movie that tries to break down walls still has plenty of stereotypes. Example, the Latino girl lives in a house with 674 people and one car, the Asian girl is good at math, and the black girl's parents are divorced.

These girls are ripped apart by some bizarre social system whereby everybody gets placed in a group like it's Red China. This system is created by a girl who never seems to graduate. There is a sequence where the movie fast-forwards by two-years and this girl is still the president of the student body and running the school like the Gestapo. Merideth, the girl in question, is easily the worst character in motion picture history. Steve Buschemi in Airheads is Jimmy Stewart by comparison. Furthermore, unlike most movie that do not make your eyes bleed, this girl who spends 100 minutes raping the soul does not even get her comeuppance. Like if Michael Vick was named chairman of PETA. The characters are, sadly, only part of the problem. Saying the whole portions of this movie are unwatchable is untrue, b/c that would imply that some parts of the movie are. From start to finish, Bratz is a step by step instructional manual on how-to-whore-out-your daughters, but keep them passionate about friendship. Several scenes in particular are horrendous: like a Super Sweet 16 party equipped with an elephant that is so mind-numbingly retarded that I was sent into anaphalectic shock and needed as epi-pen to be revived. Finally, the real atrocity in the Killing Fields that is Bratz is its includence of one Jon Voight. Before I had defined the lengths people would go to pay off gambling debt or meet the daily "fix" by referencing Kenneth Branaugh as Dr. Arlis Lovalce in Wild Wild West. No longer. Jon Voight is so ridiculous in this movie that you have to wonder if the producers had kidnapped his wife and blackmailed him. First off, they try to sneak his name in the credits so unless you are paying attention you don't even know its him. Next they disguised him as if he were snitching on the mob, complete with chotch mustache which only ups his creepy factor b/c he is constaly checking out the Benaton Ad that are the main characters. In Brief, theologists have their work cut-out for them since they have to explain how any higher power could have allowed Bratz. Even non-sentient beings will be driven insane. Keep the dog away from chocolate while it's on. Terrorist you have been warned.

I don't know what I expected

First of all, after reading some previous comments... I watched this movie on purpose. I played with bratz dolls when I was young and even had a few computer games, one of which was based on this movie. I have long growned out of the designated audience age but when I saw the movie on netflix I thought I give it a try.

I was surprised to see some quite good actors in a seemingly horrible early performence. I give this movie a 1 star rating because it has no substence I could not enjoy it.

However, consider that this movie is quite old and aimed at children, there was nothing else to expect. The actors where not given a solid script or plot to work out there full potential. They need to overreact and stay simple without any layers. This movie is supposed to be like this, for kids. A 1 rating for me as an adult. But if I would have seen the movie when I first longed for it (age 10 or something) I may not love it but probably enjoyed my time anyway.

Soundtrack by the way... for this kind of movie surprisingly great!

The most cornball movie ever made?

There are some really awful kids movies, but this might just be scraping the bottom of the barrel. This has to have one of the worst scripts, dumbest premises, and characters who try to teach diversity through stereotypes. Only the very young can enjoy this, and everyone else will just hate it.

Sasha (Logan Browning), Jade (Janel Parrish), Yasmin (Nathalia Ramos) and Cloe (Skyler Shae) are all best friends and going into their first year of high school together, but at Dimly high school, you need to belong to a clique. Principal Dimly's daughter Meredith (Chelsea Staub) will make sure of this, as she hands out what clique each person will belong to. Eventually, even the four girls (aka the bratz) give in. A few years later, they are no longer friends, but thanks to a bizarre spontaneous schoolwide food fight, they become friends again. Now they must stop the school from separating everyone into groups and they must defeat the uber-popular Meredith.

This movie is filmed like a music video mixed with a commercial. There is constant use of slow motion, which grows obnoxious after one use, and the characters constantly stare at the camera up close, which looks like a mouthwash commercial or something. It's annoying.

Speaking of annoying...these characters....they are almost intolerable! Meredith, the antagonist is so ridiculously horrible to listen to. She must have no life, as all she ever does in the movie is try to make sure the school stays separated. It's like she has nothing better to do! Her super sweet 16 party is ridiculous, the song she sings is ear bleedingly bad, and her cronies are clichéd from bad kiddie cartoons. The main four girls are harmless characters, but they have such bad lines they become unlikeable quickly also. They almost act like they're five years old in their purity. Then there's the creeper character, Yasmin's little brother Manny (William May). He's supposed to be in high school, but he keeps hitting on Meredith's eight to ten year old sister. In a couple years this guy'll be asking for it when he gets sent off to prison.

The worst part of the movie are the lines. There is not a single interesting thing said by these characters, and almost every line is a horrible and corny line. The fact that a character says "I've got the passion for fashion." is enough to shut this garbage off and throw the tainted TV in the trash. But it doesn't stop there. Most of the conversations here go back to my previously stated commercial comment. These conversations sound like one's from bad deodorant commercials or something.

This is just a horrible kids film. It will only appeal to little girls. Anyone else who enjoys it, well more power to them. For me, this is complete and utter rubbish.

My rating: BOMB out of ****. 100 mins.

This movie is too much.

I was kind of forced to watch this when my girlfriend played it on our TV and I must say, I'm kind of angry at this movie. Just like all the other high-school movies, this movie is crammed with clichés to the teeth. There's the typical overwhelmingly snobby girl villain who suffers from severe narcissistic personality disorder who rules the school, implementing a segregating social caste system within it. The unrealistically active and thriving high school with people partying all over campus as if class never starts for them, and kids who care if four girls are sitting together at a table. All of these movies always depict this type of high school activity, yet I've never been to school where one beautiful girl calls the shots for the entire school. The cliché of the popular girl trying to bring down the main character because she shows a sign of not giving a damn who she is. The glorification of being materialistic is too much, as this seems to be a trait of every female in the movie. None of these girls are really separable in terms of personality besides the "villain".
