DVD Reviews of The CliqueDVD Review: Superficial and stupid Summary: 2 StarsIf you want to see a well-made, well-written movie about the new girl trying to fit in with the popular crowd, please go watch "Mean Girls." It's funny, has characters you care about, and offers a real lesson about friendship.
I have no kids, but I do have an interest in teen movies and young adult lit, which is why I snatched this movie when I saw it in the library. Having read only one of the books, I should've known what I would encounter: a superficial story about a naive girl who tries to make a group of rich snots like her. Apparently the books are meant to mock those who are obsess with big labels and being the biggest bullies in school, but the satire is well hidden if that's the case. None of the characters' motivations made sense, and if I were Claire I'd be begging to be transferred to another school because of how mean Massie and her friends are. What I hated the most was that the movie seemed to want me to sympathize with Massie, as if this was just as much her story as Claire's. But I don't want to care about the bad guy - I want to see the bad guy get what's coming to her. Spoil alert: Massie never really gets what's coming to her.
Plus, there is a small scene where one of the girls' mother says that she won't buy her daughter clothes until she goes from a size 6 to a 4. So disturbing and wrong.
I would be kind of disappointed if a daughter of mine liked this movie or the book series.
DVD Review: The Clique Summary: 2 StarsTyra Banks producted this movie, she is known to be a tightwad and the production of this movie shows that. The actress overacted. The story line then flow like the books. My daugter was extremely disappointed (she only 10) and stated the movies was cheaply done. It was not worth the purchase price, and the ending was horrible.The Clique

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."
