Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this movie may look fresh and fun to young girls who buy the dolls, but the themes presented are questionable for their age group. For example: A fashion editor thinks eating carbs makes her "look fat," the girls sneak into clubs, and one character has had three nose jobs. The plot centers around the Bratz's goal of publishing their own fashion magazine, which will have such supposedly "helpful" articles as how to tell if your boyfriend is a dud and ways to be a "fashion do." There's also plenty of back-stabbing and rude behavior throughout. The Bratz kids love to go shopping and spend money on clothes, and your kids can do a little pre-shopping for more Bratz stuff (CDs, etc.) in the Special Features section of the DVD.
