This is the epitome of the negative side of the American movie making spectrum.
6 August 2007
It glamourizes materialism in the guise of valuing individualism. It's all about too many clothes, too much money and certainly not enough education. more upsetting is the fact that no effort was made whatsoever in hiding ideas appropriated by teen films "Clueless," "Mean Girls", "Raise Your Voice" and even Alexander Payne's terrific "Election." I guess the producers are hoping the audience would be too "young" to make the connection. And let's not forget the stereotypes. Sasha is the African-American who brings jump to the cheerleading team, while Parish is the half-Asian science whiz who's submissive at home. And Yasmin has so many Hispanic clichés surrounding her, she doesn't notice the Mariachi band at her breakfast table. I can't find one redeeming quality in "Bratz: The Movie", not even the fashions that were more trashy than trendy. In the past I applauded the multicultural aspect of the dolls' line, but as I watch my daughter play with them now, I'm not so sure that's the message the manufacturers really intended to send. *Review appropriated by MSN home movie review by Angela Baldassarre, it should be here for everyone to read.
