Very well executed

Just perfect...

Charming and brutal

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Personally because of the book series I think that this would be a perfect movie for a 12-17 year old girl who could relate to some of the situations. Such as being the outcast and misunderstood, etc.However, I will admit it was a bit cliché in some ways. It wasn't the best acting ever, but it is a great film to rent on a Friday night to cure some boredom.The characters all fit the description and it was a good length. I think, if you liked the books you will definitely like the movie. It stuck to the book fairly well, and turned out to be a pretty good family film.

We all know that children can be very mean as depicted in this 2008 film.When a family comes up from Florida to live in N.Y., they stay temporarily with a wealthy family as both the men are friends from their school days. Unfortunately, our New Yorker has a daughter by the name of Massey. She is as stuck up as they come and she begins to make life miserable for our Floridian girl named Claire.Massey, as selfish and snobbish as they come, belongs to a clique with 3 other girls. Everyone wants to be in their group but they operate a closed agency shop.Claire is able to finally get even with the nastiness they have shown to her by sending them messages on the internet, where the girls will grow to detest Massey and accept Claire. Clair becomes like a Massey until the latter realizes what she has done and alerted her former friends. Then it's back to square 1 for Claire.The movie just brings up the idea of how difficult teenagers can be as they're growing up. Those hormones are sure active!

The Clique is by no means a revolutionary movie, in fact when my sister first got the DVD, I immediately avoided it thinking that it would be just like Angus and Thongs, Mean Girls, and Wildchild. A generic, run of the mill film for teenage girls who don't know any better.Make no mistake, that is exactly what this movie is, however, it does it very well. The characters are extremely easy to identify with, the plot is engaging without being convoluted, and the young actors are extremely talented. I never found myself laughing out loud, but this is definitely a movie which leaves you smiling on the inside.The film is excellent, and it certainly doesn't try to be what it's not. It sticks to the formula, and pulls it off extremely well. If you're going to see a teenage girl flick, make it this one. -Auskeek

I was familiar with the "clique" books, so I was anticipating the movie.What made me watch it most of all was the successful book to show transformation of "Gossip Girl" However, this movie is a perfect example of horrible acting, unrealistic plot, but i suppose it follows the books standards.I do feel that the main idea gets across. The "mean girl" idea, that girls are mean and will hate on those below them. I definitely think they could have cast better actors for it. The main character does not give off the "rich bitch" vibe, and has HORRIBLE facial expressions, that make her looks more stupid than intimidating. Her friends are not intimidating by any standers and should have just shunned the main character from the beginning.And, As rich and privileged as the girls are, do they really run around in bathing suits and high-heals when they're in middle school?I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, stick to mean girls instead.
