What's the Story?
The Bratz girls, representing Bratz Magazine, are finalists in a nationally-televised reality show competition! A Simon Cowell-like host (called "Byron Powell" here) leads the search for America's best teen fashion designer. The Bratz and their opponents (a cut-throat bunch from Your Thing Magazine) must bring their best candidates to NYC for the season finale. In vans on their way across the country, the competitors run into obstacles and suspense when they encounter a masked ghost-cowboy, a stop-at-nothing ambitious teen stylist, and the TV host himself whose drive for publicity and big ratings leads him to stage the most outrageous trip possible.
Is It Any Good?
At the risk of damning with faint praise, it's accurate to say that this Bratz movie is a step above many of the others. The plot is less meandering and illogical; there's very little of the scariness or bizarre mysticism seen in some other Bratz movies; there is less abrasive music and even fewer annoying characters (the ones we see are as annoying as ever, but there are fewer of them).
Still, the Bratz girls are interchangeable, the dialogue is flat, the "valley girl" dialects are trite and overused, and, most importantly, superficiality and empty-headed girls pretending to be role models continue to rule.
