Bratz: The Movie DVD/ Widescreen

Director Sean McNamara tackles teenage cliques, the power of friendship, and the importance of individuality with characters based on the Bratz dolls. Sasha, Jade, Yasmin, and Cloe are four free-spirited teens who are thick as thieves as they start their freshman year at Carry Nation High School. But soon, everything changes. Principal Dimly's daughter, Meredith Baxter Dimly, 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 realize that staying friends, being true to themselves, and following their dreams are more important than anything else. This candy-colored high school world is clearly the stuff of fun 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, Cameron, and Dexter, 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.
