Four best friends start high school. Each one is unique and likes their own thing; Chloe joins the soccer team, Sasha joins the cheer leading squad, Jade is part of the math club. While the other girls hang out with their chosen crowds, Yasmin is left all alone. When Meredith, the most popular girl, sees this she automatically knows they are trouble. After years of not talking to each other Jade and Yasmin speak a few words in the restroom but Yasmin doesn't have the courage to tell Jade she misses her. The four girls are reunited when they are sent to detention for causing a food fight. The reunited foursome find out they are not invited to a huge party given by Meredith. Worse, Chloe finds out that her mom has a job serving food at the party. They are forced to work for Meredith. At the party, Meredith decides to expose Yasmin's secret (her dancing and singing with a face mask.) When Yasmin's brother starts doing a dance and everybody joins in, Meredith is humiliated. When Meredith accidentally gets thrown into the pool she calls the four best friends "bratz." The girls decide to be part of the talent show to win a scholarship. Meredith is always the one who wins, yet the "bratz" are prepared to take her down. Meredith renews her threats to Yasmin; if she continues preparing for the show, Meredith will expose her friend's secrets. Yasmin decides to call everything off. In the end, the girls do the talent show, and boldly tell everybody their secrets which turn out not to be so bad after all. The girls win and each end up with their respective crushes. The girls decide to give Chloe the scholarship. The movie ends with the girls walking down a red carpet.

| TV Guide MagazineAdam SchubakThanks 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. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenFinally, 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. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinWhile often cliche ridden and preposterous, it's too busy and loud to put anyone to sleep. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigA silly movie that's essentially a series of clichés strung together into a semblance of a movie. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinBratz's strong anti-clique sermonizing would be slightly more convincing if it weren't tethered to a movie romanticizing the most awesome clique ever. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe best that can be said about the big-screen Bratz is that they are not nearly as appalling as their toy-shelf twins. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGregory KirschlingA 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. |
| Washington PostTeresa WiltzThis 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. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisArriving as inevitably as puberty, Bratz introduces the swollen-headed, fashion-addicted dolls of the title to a live-action movie. |
| Village VoiceJessica GrossIn 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. |
