What Parents Need to Know
About The Clique
Parents need to know that this DVD based on the popular Clique book series by Lisi Harrison intends to make light of tweens' obsession with wearing the right clothes in order to fit in. The fashions themselves, the quest to achieve them, and the rude behavior that surrounds those who have them are all glorified. The music thumps a little louder and the shots are a little slicker when these 12-year-olds are parading down the school hallway in their designer duds.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what it means to wear nice clothes. Some parents might remember Benetton sweaters, Ray Bans or Air Jordans being the must-have items when they were in high school. But cost-wise, these luxury goods were "bargain basement" compared to what The Pretty Committee wears every day.
- Why is it so crucial to Massie that her friends wear the season's best, most expensive clothing?
- Does this movie ring true for tweens in your town? Should parents give their tweens credit cards with no limits? Why or why not?
- What would you do if you were in Claire's (tennis) shoes?

It has good and bad rolemodels.Bad:Massie,Dylan,Alicia,Kristen.Good:Claire,Layne. Massie treats Claire like c r a p then Claire saves Massie from humiliation by stoping Massie from jumpin out of a cake with an I love Chris Abley shirt that makes her look like a s l u t. I love the movie sooo much it was the only movie I watched 4 3 months strait. I highly recomend it .

mateialistic and shallow
i have seen this movie twice. the first time i liked it, but the second time i realized that the only reason i did, was because i loved seeing what the girls would wear. the movie's message is very negitive and revolves completley around buying lots of stuff to be popular. although in the end massie and claire get a little closer and massie grows a bit as a person, really all that is achived is that claire gets sucked into the clique. i think clothes, style, and espressing yourself through your clothing is very fun and important, but the clothes you wear don't define who you are.

Good, ecspecially if you've read the books
I've seen the movie 3 times and for anyone who's read the book it's pretty good.If you haven't read the books you will probably like it. While it seems like it's just about rich, snotty girls there's really a good message behind it.

Remind your daughter that their behaviour isnt right
Good movie! But I think it sends out a bad message, many girls in my daughter's class have been getting meaner these days trying to pretend to be like the clique, so I find this a good fun movie but not to be taken seriously

This was a good movie
The movie was really good.But there was alot of brand names dropped and their behavior isn`t very good. They are very mean to Claire but if you read the book you should see the movie!!

way too many designer names slung around everywhere. it got really annoying.

I've never seen the movie and I'm reading the book (I'm not that far into it) and already it has bad role models, bad language (b----), mention of boobs (twice so far-"She liked the feel of her newly sprouted A-cups bouncing along with her," and when Alicia covered her chest with her arms she was "just trying to hide her big boobs" so it was slightly inappropriate so far and for younger kids it may not be that good. But compared to what I've heard about "Dial L for Loser," and all the other Clique novels (tongue kissing, being felt up, virginity, etc.) it's not nearly as bad. In the book with jokes about virginity, they are only 13, which is much to young to be

Great movie, but inappropriate.
I've read the entire "Clique" series and loved them. I loved the movie, too but I would only recommend this to girls 12 and up. Both Claire and Layne call Massie a bitch, and all of the girls at OCD Girls' Academy wear designer studs only. The Pretty Committee are definitely bad role models.

It was almost too predictable.
I watched this with my friends, and, honestly, I like the kind of catty-prissy-girl movies, because I like to point out how most of them are like people I know. But in this movie, Tyra Banks proved that she cannot make a movie, much less host a TV show. Claire was a character that was utterly unbelievable. She cried all too much, never said anything to Massie about how she acted, and was so oblivious to anything that was going on. The acting was terrible, and why is walking into yoga lass and asking for the nurse hilarious or embarassing? Honesly, being me, I would've slapped that Massie skank across the face the first time she threw an egg at me. Definitely a snoozer.

ok
it was alright. the acting was kind of bad but since i read the books i understood what was happening. love the books. read them!!!

slight dissapointment
For such good books, the movie was a slight let-down. Either they were copying every little detail from the book, or it was nothing like the book. The acting was also a little cheesy in some parts. The girl who plays Massie is the worst actress in the movie. I loved the girl who played claire-exactly how i pictured her. Overall, the movie is actually pretty good, but fans of the books shouldn't expect it to be as good.
