Interesteg What makes it different from others?
GazerRise Fantastic!
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Danii Disaster This was the most unrealistic teen drama flick I've ever seen. Is it really considered cool (or even acceptable) for 11-12 year olds to dress like 40+ and stumble around in stilettos? Urgh. Who does that?The Massie girl, who looks like a horse in the face, couldn't pass for a queen bee in a million years. She neither has the looks, nor the presence for it. The rest of the girls in her clique were unbelievably dumb and shallow. They were supposed to be young, not retarded.And there is no way I will ever buy that Claire could've pulled off that chatroom story. It just couldn't happen in the real world.Generally, most of the cast were pathetic. Claire was more or less O.K. (not good, but not as bad as the others), and also the guy she had a crush on could pass for an actors (a lousy one, though). The others were downright awful.Didn't like this movie much. Pathetic acting, unrealistic story line, cringe-worthy dialogue. Wouldn't recommend.
Natalie Handel Me and a friend just started watching this movie this morning when it came on on the TV. We weren't expecting anything good at all (even though we like these kind of movies normally despite being a bit too old for them).We were very pleasantly surprised though. The acting wasn't anything special and the story predictable and unlike the other reviewers here we couldn't really relate but there was something very special about it. The whole movie had that special something. Even the mean clique was exciting to watch.Also, the soundtrack was AMAZING for this kind of movie. And comments such as "Oh my god, since you weren't there the party was totally UNBLOGGABLE" was incredible. All in all we really recommend this movie for anyone wishing to waste away a Sunday morning.
Cardcaptor_Jim Spoiled rich girl Massie (an excellent Elizabeth McLaughlin) gets a literal wake up call when her dad announces that their guest house will be occupied by his college buddy and his family. This family includes a daughter named Claire (Ellen Marlow), who is the same age as Massie. Massie, the head of a seventh grade clique called The Pretty Committee, does not like this newcomer at all. A rivalry between the two girls begins. Will they ever be friends? Although many viewers of this teen movie will surely predict the outcome, it provides enough laughs and drama to please most of the young girls the film is aimed at. I personally felt for Claire, even when she stooped to sending false e-mails to Massie's friends. (Haven't we all done something awful like this that we later regretted?) My favorite member of The Pretty Committee is Alicia (Samantha Boscarino), a shopaholic who is as idiotic as she is beautiful.The film was based on a series of novels by Lisi Harrison, which I never heard of prior to watching this movie. As with many book to film adaptations, there will always be (probably rightly) those who prefer the book to the movie. Still, to pass on this movie just because it's not like the book would be a crime. There are many movies I saw before reading the book, and after I did read it I became a fan of both versions.The Clique is definitely worth the 87 minutes it lasts.
chocolatequeen820 I am a huge fan of the Clique series, and i got this movie the day it came out, and i was very happy the way the movie turned out to be. Sure, they changed a little details, but despite all that, it really stays true to the book. All the cast is exactly how i imagined the characters would look like, and they were all wonderful actresses/actors. And the clothes were the best part in the movie, i wanted, like, every outfit the Pretty Committee owned! Elizabeth (who played Massie Block) owned the role. And Dylan (who played Todd Lyons) was hilarious. I was really worried that the producers and writers were going to completely change the movie, but they didn't at all, they really kept true to the story, and i was really impressed by that. All in all, great movie.
