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.

Why does this exist?
Awful
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.
Horrible Message for Young Girls
I put this movie on so that I could clean dishes with my daughter out of my hair. I poked my head in the room to see how the movie was going and if she was watching it. I overheard one of the characters say " A moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips " while carrying her ice cream cone. I was appalled. I then sat and watched another few minutes to see if it was just a fluke and nothing more would be said reguarding we lost our body image. A few minutes after that comment the characters manager pulled her aside and said something along the lines of we need you to get exercising because you have to burn off those calories. now this movie is clearly marketed to young girls this is an inappropriate message to be sending to any girl of any age. Absolutely disgusting movie. Stupid plot. I turned it off immediately after that. Do not allow your children to watch this.
