May 11 2007Bratz Trailer "4 Real"
The Bratz describe their friendship longevity in three letters: BFF.
I've been vocal about my enthusiasm about seeing the Bratz doll line brought to screens, but I really think they missed the mark on this one. Though I'm not actually familiar with Bratz canon, I had assumed what made them so appealing was that they were these big time brats, mainly because their sexy big heads, lips and eyes allowed them the luxury. In this trailer, however, the four eponymous BFFs seem to act only marginally bratty, and actually reform their bratitude to take down the school's primary brat. As if!
The film's saving grace may be that the dialog is so littered with BFFs, OMGs and the like that it will become utterly dated within two years. Like this generation's Clueless, Bratz will be the 2007 time capsule of how our stupidest high school girls chatter.
See it here, 4 real.

If this was a lesbian porn I'd be much more apt to watch the trailer...but alas....it's not.
Or...is it?

Ah, clueless wasn't that bad. At least it was a little bit tongue in cheek and had a cool soundtrack.

I'm convinced the writers for this movie stole the script for Sleepover and just changed some minor details. If anyone has seen Sleepover, which you should because it is amazing, you will know what I am talking about. Fuck this movie.

Clueless = based on a classic Jane Austen novel
Bratz = based on a slightly older teenybopper movie

I, for one, can see this film's true message of empowerment ... only by watching this movie and buying "Bratz OMG Merch" can girls worldwide learn how to believe in themselves and refuse to adhere to forced identities forced on them by beauty and fashion magazines.
Well, unless it makes your friend say that you look, like, totally cute, and makes the cutest-boy-in-school cru$h on u (who comes off as sincere but might turn out to be a jerk trying to win a bet, only to win your heart back in the end beause he fell for the real you afterall) *and* lets you win a talent show by having a shopping montage, getting makeovers and listening to Avril Lavinge. It helps when we know that The Spice Girls are soooo yesterday four BFF's with perfect skin and hair can like totally copy them and nobody would know it. OMG 4 rlz!
Let's hear it for pre-packaged Girl Power!
