Bratz (2007) Online Streaming

Modest and diverting, rough and bland, with some good (if not quite Bette Davis caliber) actors and so-so special effects.. Others who watch with more sense than adoration will likely be dumbfounded by the venal messages of pettiness and possession that the movie honors above all else.. The planet-hopping children have special talents -- telekinesis, telepathy etc. -- although it is the high-wattage lovability of Mr. Rock that's the real superpower on display here.. Bratz is a disappointment bec...
