The Clique is about a new girl that runs in to the Pretty Committee Clique. The Clique does everything in their power to make the new girls life as bad as they could make it. She does try to make them like her but that makes her go down the social ladder. Will she stuck like this forever or would she be able to stand up for herself. Pros Good plot Shows what middle school is like. Cons. Ok acting Too girly for me. Can get annoying at times. Ok teen film Only good for a rental I think this film is today's version of mean girls .

This movie doesn't work for non-teenagers. It is just too childish. I guess you need to take things to an extreme to prove your point, but I hope the schools in our neighbourhood are not as shallow.

This movie is so stupid, I am embarrassed to like it. But like a magnet I am inescapably drawn to Massie and Claire and the rest of the Pretty Committee. I NEED manufactured middle school drama in my life. It's like Gossip Girl, but not dramatic or even that funny - even in a satirical way. The earnestness is what I enjoy most, actually.

I suppose for a tween movie it was okay. It reminded me of the movie "Mean Girls" except in this one, the mean girls have a change of heart in the end. Themes are excessive consumerism and reckless spendthrift, shallowness, vanity, wealth, attitude, bullying and jealousy. There was a good moral message for preteen girls: be yourself, money can't buy you happiness, and true friends love you for who you are.
