Bit late with this one, but anyhoo. As of Friday morning, I believe there were something like 14 reviews of Bratz: The Movie<\/a><\/i> up at RottenTomatoes.com<\/a> \u2014 there are now 46 \u2014 so evidently some<\/i> critics saw this film in time to write it up. But here in Vancouver, the only press or preview screening was on Thursday night \u2014 and as we all know, night-before screenings \u201cdon\u2019t count\u201d. So this film gets an honourable mention in the \u201cnot screened for critics<\/a>\u201d file.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
