DVD Reviews of The CliqueDVD Review: IT MADE ME SICK!! Summary: 1 StarsI can't believe I chose this horrible movie over Underdog. I was lucky that I got it at a discount, but nevertheless wasted my hard earned cash on this! The Clique is not only stupid, but also down right bad. girls who are under 18 should not be watching this. Parents who are very cautious about what DVD they get for their kids (boy or girl) would agree with me that The Clique should be on the "DO NOT GET" list. For parents who have any daughters under the age of 13 or 14, DON'T GET THIS MOVIE!! instead, get something like Roxy Hunter, or any American Girl movie. Oh did I mention that some of the movie was disgusting? yes. disgusting. I'd rather not get into the details. All I'm just saying is Don't Get This Movie. I guarentee you will regret it. I got this movie and I'm living to regret it. If I had to choose, I'd rather watch something dunb like The Invisible. In my opinion, The Clique should be rated R.
DVD Review: The Clique is a pathetic excuse for entertainment Summary: 1 StarsShame one the makers of this "movie" and shame on the author. This is HORRIBLE entertainment for girls/teens.
Basically, it's the story of 4 spoiled, snotty, selfish, shallow girls who rule their school and ruin the lives of those around them. They play one mean trick after another on each other, and eventually even the "sweet naive outcast" girl in the movie ends up becoming nasty and deceitful just to get back at them. The ethics and morals are non-existent. I think it's a huge shame this pathetic excuse for an author was allowed to have such shallow, dumb stories published, but whats worse is they made it into a movie. I really to believe movies like this encourage young girls to act like this - to treat each other like trash, compete ruthlessly for boys, and have egos the size of the universe. It's crap.
Luckily I didn't pay for it, just caught it on Lifetime and was shocked by the plot line at first, I kept watching hoping at some point there would be a lesson to be learned. But no. The entire movie is just a sad look at materialistic brats who supposedly are supposed to be role models and stars. Sickening. For shame LISI HARRISON! If you don't have anything quality to write, please stop writing period. I don't need trash like this in my daughter's life.
DVD Review: great movie for teens Summary: 4 StarsMy daughter rented this at Blockbuster and loves it so much, she had to have it.
DVD Review: I enjoyed it, I would have liked it more, had I not read the books. Summary: 3 StarsI think the movie was very similar to the book, right down to the quotes. Massie was the PERFECT character in the movie, insecure, yet comes off as confident. She seemed even meaner in the movie than the books.
Alicia wasn't mean enough, and she didn't have black hair, but that's okay, she's still the prettiest. Massie's hair should have been lighter if you ask me. They didn't have Alicia mean enouh, so the comment about her boobs didn't work, they had no mention of them before then.
Dylan was perfect, with even more insecurity about her weight than in the books. However they failed to mention who her mother was.
Layne was SO ANNOYING. I guess that fit, because I disliked her in the books as well.
Claire also annoyed me. I think she played her part well, but the actress just didn't work.
Kristen was great in it too, but I always pictured her with brown hair...
They picked an ugly guy for Chris Abeley too. Todd wasn't witty enough.
Adding a bit with massie and the cake was brilliant. Much better than the ending in the book if you ask me. Massie totally makes herself more deep at the end.
I liked it, but it could be better I suppose. Layne irritated me so much I couldn't stand it. Her voice was annoying.
DVD Review: Parents BEWARE Summary: 1 StarsLike another mother reviewing this DVD who didn't read the Clique books before her tween daughter read them, I didn't properly vet this movie before I let my girls watch it. I'd never heard of the Clique books, so I had no frame of reference and boy, was that ever a HUGE mistake.
We watched it and I hoped all the way through this dismal mess that there would be some redemption in the end, but there really wasn't. It was one long horrific bore about girls out-meaning each other to see which one could be the queen bee.
I found this movie to be anti-family and celebrative of a values system that I support in no way whatsoever. Clueless, hyper-indulgent parents and vicious, shallow kids, along with a school system in which even the teachers are hateful jerks make for a movie that is not even rentable from your local video store, let alone buyable.
Treat this nasty DVD the way you'd treat a puddle of toxic waste. Oh, for a zero stars option! I can't believe this is the kind of garbage being produced for our girls today.
Description of The CliqueClaire Lyons, the new girl from Orland(ew), Florida, has the nerve to show up at Octavian Country Day school (OCD) wearing Keds and two-year-old GAP overalls. She is clearly not top Clique (aka the Pretty Committee) material and Massie, Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen have no problem letting everyone know it. Unfortunately, Claires family is staying in the guest house on Massies familys huge estate and the girls are stuck with each other. Claires future looks worse than a Prada knockoff. But with a little luck and a lot of scheming, she might just stand a chance. Based on the popular The Clique Book series by Lisi Harrison, The Clique is an entertaining, if somewhat familiar film about a 12-year-old girl whose need to fit in threatens to overshadow her inherent sense of self. Massie (Elizabeth McLaughlin) is the undisputed leader of a clique dubbed "The Pretty Committee" and she and her fellow clique-mates Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen are completely obsessed by high fashion and being the most popular girls in the exclusive Octavian Country Day School for girls. Florida transplant Claire Lyons (Ellen Marlow) is the ultimate in fashion don'ts and when she moves into Massie's guest house and enrolls in her school, it quickly becomes apparent that Massie will stop at nothing to prove her own superiority and make Claire's life miserable. Claire wants nothing more than to fit in and be accepted at her new school, so when befriending Massie doesn't work, she turns to scheming and playing the four friends against one another in an effort to supersede Massie as the queen of popularity. The problem is, Claire's efforts to displace Massie have some very negative effects on Alicia, Dylan, Kristen, her relationship with her mother, and even Claire's ability to like herself. In the end, Claire realizes the importance of being true to oneself and there's the slightest glimmer of hope that even Massie might just consider changing her ways--or not. Something of a The Devil Wears Prada for kids meets Mean Girls, The Clique is a surprisingly likeable film that features a scrumptious palate of tween-sized high couture; healthy doses of insecurity, attitude, and angst; good acting; and an important message about believing in oneself. Bonus features include a featurette on casting the movie with executive producer Tyra Banks and director Michael Lembeck, interviews with the main characters and author Lisi Harrison, a 9-minute exploration of tween couture with Tyra Banks, casting contest winners, gag reel, and Clique Girlz in the studio recording "Here With Me Now."
