Eric D. Snider watched 'Bratz' so you don't have to!

Along with this film, Nancy Drew, and Jessica Alba's encore turn as Susan Storm, this has been a summer simply seething with vain, materialistic, dubious female protagonists.

Even though you assume a "Bratz" movie is going to be bad, you have NO IDEA just how bad this one is. It's bad in ways I hadn't expected, ways that surprised me and gave me a headache.

Good to have that confirmed. The trailer was surprisingly good, but I was sure the movie had to be lousy.

I love when reviews are better than the movie. One reviewer I read said that he loved when a movie's title summed up the movie better than any review possibly could. The reviewer said that "Blow" was the perfect example.

Man, this is a hilarious review.

(Spoilers, I guess, as if you care.)

Her blackmail material is a video-phone recording of Yasmin (the Mexican girl) dancing around her bedroom with her mother (Lainie Kazan) singing -- I kid you not -- "La Cucaracha." Now, it seems to me that if you don't want people to think that you're an embarrassing ethnic stereotype, then maybe you, as a Mexican girl, shouldn't dance around singing "La Cucaracha."
