Bratz (also known as Bratz: The Movie) is a 2007 American teen comedy film based on the fashion dolls of the same name from MGA Entertainment. The film is directed by Sean McNamara with a screenplay by Susan Estelle Jansen, from a story written by Adam de la Pena and David Eilenberg. It is the first live-action film based on the doll line after numerous direct-to-video animated films and a television series.
It stars Nathalia Ramos, Skyler Shaye, Logan Browning and Janel Parrish as the members of the group, with Chelsea Staub, Lainie Kazan and Jon Voight in supporting roles. The story revolves around a group of four teenage girls, the origin of their friendship and the social pyramid that tries to make the Bratz conform to archetypal high school cliques. Principal photography took place in Los Angeles between February and March 2007.
Bratz was released in the United States on August 3, 2007, by Lionsgate. It received negative reviews and grossed $26 million worldwide.
