TV Guide MagazineAdam Schubak
Thanks to the smart casting of Jon Voight as the school’s principal and Lainie Kazan as Yasmin’s beloved Bubbie, the two-hour run time won't be a complete bore for adults. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterSheri Linden
Finally, a postfeminist multicultural musical extravaganza for 8-year-old girls. Is Bratz not the most totally stylin' movie ever? Grownups won't think so, but for their daughters who share a "passion for fashion" with the dolls that are giving Barbie a run for her money, it will be the event of the season. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleRuthe Stein
While often cliche ridden and preposterous, it's too busy and loud to put anyone to sleep. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyGregory Kirschling
A movie based on a doll line, is an M&M-colored high school fantasia for aspirational 10- and 12-year-old girls who'll be shocked (or, hopefully, delighted) when they get to ninth grade and find out life isn't so super-Bratz-fabulous. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
Bratz's strong anti-clique sermonizing would be slightly more convincing if it weren't tethered to a movie romanticizing the most awesome clique ever. Read full review

VarietyJohn Anderson
Bratz’s references and parodies are consistently on-target, if always way too over-the-top. Every line of dialogue could plausibly take an exclamation point. Read full review

Washington PostTeresa Wiltz
This is a movie for a grade-schooler's -- a female grade-schooler's -- sensibility. It's earnest, silly and sweet, with just enough food fights and musical numbers to keep everyone else from gagging on the goo. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
A silly movie that's essentially a series of clichés strung together into a semblance of a movie. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
The best that can be said about the big-screen Bratz is that they are not nearly as appalling as their toy-shelf twins. Read full review

Village VoiceJessica Gross
In the end, the most offensive part of Bratz isn't its stereotypes or brand expansion; it's the sorry state of Jon Voight's career. Read full review

Bratz is way too long. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJohn Anderson
It's a movie on the wrong side side of the so-bad-it's-good line. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
Arriving as inevitably as puberty, Bratz introduces the swollen-headed, fashion-addicted dolls of the title to a live-action movie. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
The most horrifying film of 2007, Bratz is based on the popular line of collagen-lipped, doe-eyed slut-ette dolls and their male companions, "the boys with a passion for fashion ... and the Bratz!" (In other words, they're bi-curious.) Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
No, Bratz, an unwitting and witless critique of American consumerism run amok, does not star Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJonathan Rosenbaum
This atrocious comedy doesn't have an idea in its head but still screams at the top of its lungs. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
A live-action film based on a line of dolls, it's pure marketing chum for tweeners: a proudly shallow, purposefully bland ode to girly-girl narcissism. I could actually feel my brain stem shrivel up as I watched it. Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
In the end, Bratz celebrates something even more important than good grades or good friends: the vital acquisition of totally awesome shoes. Fitting for a movie that exists only to separate you from your paycheck. Read full review
