Lego Friends: Girlz 4 Life

The first 30 minutes were really boring but after that I really liked it! I liked the message, to not give up even when it's tough.

The film is very basic and not very well thought through. The characters aren't very well portrayed, especially Andrea, because throughout all of the Lego Friends books and sets that came before this film, all of the girls are described as caring and the best of friends, where as Andrea comes across as snotty and very selfish without a care for her friends, which is inaccurate. The graphics are quite basic, and this put me off a little. But, my problem lay with the plot, because it was tediously delivered. The script was cheesy and also somewhat cringe worthy at points, such as when talking about weight loss or gender stereotypes. It's just the kind of thing that probably isn't going to be accepted by people who are really PC in this day and age.

In the 2010's, there was a trend of LEGO direct-to-DVD movies being churned out. While there's not as many as there was being pumped out at the same time, there are still these kinds of movies out there. And one of these movies is "LEGO Friends: Girlz 4 Life". And yes, it's intentionally spelt like that. My first major complaint is the animation. It looks fine, but there's barely any LEGO in this movie, in a movie based on the toys. Even the 2012-2015 TV series had LEGO in it. Then there's the soundtrack, which is fine, but my complaint here is that the movies headlining song "Girlz" is played, what, like, 5 times in the movie? Now, the plot of this movie is that the girls recorded the "Girlz" song, and then Olivia gives the agent of Livi, a pop star, a flash drive with the song on it, leaving Livi to call it her own song. Then the girls devise a plan to get the drive, and tell her "Hey, this is our song!". In terms of the character portrayal, Andrea, at the start of the movie, feels like a selfish little twerp who only cares about fame. Though, thankfully, she redeems herself towards the end. And the voice acting is pretty bad. Because the song "Girlz" was recorded by L2M, a band made up of kids (why?), they didn't bother to rerecord the song for the adult actors. Also, the credits is a literal music video, showing the deities who made this movie. So, all in all, this is not a great movie for kids.

This burns my eyes, I mean this movie is for kids but this is so bad. Even my sister that is 6 years old hated it. The details are ok but the graphics are seriously terrible. In my opinion it NEEDS only 1 star. What bothers me most, is how their lips are moving and the words just does not work together. No, this movie sucks.
