Bratz: The Movie is a movie based on the popular but controversial line of dolls. It is set in an Alternate Universe to the CGI films.
The movie follows Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin and Jade as they go through high school. After being broken up on the first day, Yasmin decided to take the initiative and bring her group back together and show Meredith and her Girl Posse that she doesn't rule the school.
The movie is infamous for its Unfortunate Implications, Jon Voight and the Race Lift on Yasmin. And that despite that it was based on a popular line of dolls with straight-to-DVD movies that sold like hotcakes, it flopped.

- Alpha Bitch: Meredith is trying to out-bitch both Libby from Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Tess from Camp Rock with songs like 'It's All About Me' and 'FABULOUS'.

- Four-Girl Ensemble

- Hollywood Nerd: Dexter, Jade and the rest of the Nerd clique.
- Hollywood Science: To make a super cool CGI fireworks show just combine three different chemicals in a pseudo smart way!
- Informed Flaw: Cloe's 'clumsiness.' Yes, a klutz is capable of pulling off soccer moves only professionals can barely do. Also, the fact that Cloe is poor. If she's so poor, where did she get all of those clothes, the computer in her bedroom, and the moped she drives to school? (It is never mentioned whether or not she has a job outside of school to make up for it.)
