Bratz

2007

The popular Bratz dolls come to life in their first live-action feature film. Finding themselves being pulled further and further apart, the fashionable four band together to fight peer pressure, learn what it means to stand up for your friends, be true to oneself and live out your dreams.

Ages 8+Source checked

Why this age? Mostly light, comic high-school conflict with peer pressure, bullying, embarrassment, a dog attack, a pool incident, and mild teen romance. Younger children may need help with social manipulation and popularity themes. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
