Parrish, Logan Browning, Skyler Shaye / 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.Newest Review: ... of Meredith Baxtor Dimley, the Class President and the Principals Daughter. Meredith is one of those rich kids who get ... more ... everything they want. Along with her groupies Meredith has organised the school into their separate Cliques i.e, Jocks, Loners, Cheerleaders, Emos etc. Everything is a little too organised for the girls.
On their first day the girls hang out together, we see them all try out for their favourite club, which gradually divides the best friends. Each girl ends up hanging out with their own clique and before they know it they barely seem to know each other anymore.
Two years pass and the girls don't talk, they have their own ...more |

It seems that the younger generation of this world, well the younger girls that is, have gone completely Bratz mad! Bratz - the new Barbie! Personally I think the dolls are plain right ugly, and most of them look more like drag queens then a pretty little Doll. Bratz have nothing on Barbie!! However I am an Eighties Child I think quite a few little girls would disagree with me!! So in 2007 they released a movie. My mother kept nagging me to go to the cinema with her but the thought of sitting with loads of preteens whilst watching a movie about dolls didn't get me out of the house let alone to the cinema! However I noticed it whilst searching on my ...

Well I ended up watching this with my daughter after she had nagged me to watch it, I thought it would be a kid's only film, so eventually I gave in and sat down and watched it.

Our house is in Bratz overload after Christmas. Generally, if you know a pre teen girl, then it is pretty much certain that she will be a Bratz fan or have at least 1 Bratz branded item. There is actually quite a lot of resistance against the dolls as they do like like cheap made up hookers. I believe that as my daughter does not know what a hooker is she takes Bratz on face value.....as a doll and no harm is done. When I heard that this film was being released, I did breath a sigh of relief when I heard that it would feature real actors rather then the previously seen cartoon versions of the well known dolls. Nathalia Ramos (Yasmin), Skyler Shaye (Cloe), ...
