So I find out in the paper last week that there will be a Bratz movie coming out this summer. Of course I immediately I have to keep myself from gagging. What the hell is this? But I suppose it was inevitable with the massive popularity of these dolls that teach young girls that they need to be anorexic to be pretty. I watched the trailer for kicks, and I was a bit surprised by the decision to make a live action film. I have expected special effects to make their heads huge and noses invisible like the dolls, but that didn't happen.

And like all bad movie trailers, the viewer gets the whole story in 2 minutes. 4 girls go to a weird high school where the snotty bitch stereotype tries to destroy their superficial friendship (apparently the declaration of "bff" makes you bonded for life). Yadda yadda, choas ensues, they fight, they get back together, and decide it's time to take that popular bitch out. And what's the lesson? Instead of finding a complete sisterly bond, some women bond and compete against each other because somebody has to "take back the school".

Wow, that sounds awful. Perhaps my daughter and I will watch it just for laughs someday. I think most movies of that genre are cheesier than swiss, personally. I disagree that the dolls teach girls to be anorexic though. My girl has a few and she's just fine. :) Good article.
