Absolutely Fantastic

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

OK, so this was one of those movies that was so terrible that I loved it. I liked it because of how...unrealistic and purely stupid it was. I liked the idea of these rich bratty girls, but it would've been more believable if their choice of fashion was more legitimate. To some what their wearing may seem so out of this world and amazing, but for me, growing up in Monaco around bratty whiny heiresses who took frequent trips out on their parents expensive yachts to St Tropez, Monte Carlo and Mykonos from the age of 13 up, this just didn't cut it for me. Their dressing was cheesy, their clothes were tacky and most of the time too mature for them and their swimsuits looked more like they were out of Target than Claires' did. I felt that they were trying too hard with the clothes, trying to out bling it when it turn it looked tacky. I feel like if they actually seemed filthy rich it would've made the whole thing more like oh my goodness poor Claire she's so poor compared to them, in reality I was cringing "poor Claire, she's being showed up by these wannabes. It's like they weren't really that rich, they were just playing dress up in clothes they thought were high fashion, in a big house and tried to make it look like they were rich. Their houses weren't that big. There were some girls (Like Shelby) who were WAY more up to par with what I would define a typical rich girl, even though she was still far off. The mini-skirt, tights, heels was what I was expecting from this. Or Gossip Girl-esque fashion. Other than that their whole act was very, very similar to people here in Monaco. Spending like there's no tomorrow. Though less class. Okay movie other than that. Mildly entertaining because of how stupid it was.

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!

I have read The Clique series and have grown to love it over the years. I was excited when I got the DVD from a close friend. First of all, I have to say the acting is terrible. Elizabeth McLaughlin did not portray Massie one bit, she was way too over-the-top, and her acting was fake and not believable. Ellen Marlow was fine as Claire, but there were times where she was too cheesy with her lines. Although Samantha Boscarino does not physically look like Alicia, her facial expressions and acting were convincing. The best actress from this movie was hands down Bridgit Mendler. She was great as Kristen, and was maybe the only reason this movie was worth something. Dylan Minnette and Vanessa Marano also did a good job. Besides from the actresses, I thought the scenes were way too short and choppy. There was no substance to the movie -- it was a rather cheesy plot. It looked like Mean Girls #2, which The Clique books are not. Another disappointment in this movie was the fashion. As all Clique fans know, high fashion is very common in the books. Younger girls might think it is high fashion, but the outfits are definitely not. The sunglasses, bathing suits, and most outfits the girls wore were far from high fashion and did not give justice to the book. The only outfit that was decent was when Massie was in the cafeteria, and she wore a white dress with a black bow. As for Massie's house, it was not as big as it was described. She also did not have a Range Rover but a cheap car. I watched this movie twice to make sure it was as horrible as I thought, and it definitely was. There are only about four actors worth watching, and the only good scene in my opinion was the one in the art room. I do not recommend this movie at all -- you are in for a big disappointment (and to think I've waited over two years to see this.)
