I thought this was a cute move. Well worth the point in trade.

It was a good DVD, and I would've loved it-- if I was twelve.
I guess it's got a pretty okay message, and I realize since its based on a book series there's not much wiggle room with creating the characters, but Claire just seems too nice to girls who are just plain mean to her. I guess it just didn't seem realistic to me. I by far love Bratz better, but then again, I'm seventeen. I guess I just thought I would relate to The Clique more than I did.
Pretty good movie though, just for a younger age group. A tween movie, not to be confused with teen.

Movie Reviews
Pretty good portrayal from book to movie
Kristin | USA | 11/19/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)
"To the people who bought "The Clique" from Amazon, read the first review 'cause there are faulty batches!
Anyway, back to the movie.
Okay, I started reading the Clique when I was 12 and that was 4 years ago. Now I'm 16 and the Clique girls are still 12 in the very first movie.
Remembering back to the very first book and watching this movie is surreal. The movie is almost nothing how I pictured the book in my mind, but they do a very nice, accurate portrayal of the book.
The movie follows the basic plot line, includes many of the characters, ha very interesting fashion, actually has the IMing and State of the Union parts, and quoted many of the funny lines from the book.
Although there were parts of the book that I missed (like the whole tights trend and the Massie insights), the most obvious jump from book to movie were the main characters. Alicia wasn't busty enough, but the whole "rubbing boobs together" part took on a whole new meaning. Massie acted a little too forced sometimes. Kristen wasn't sporty enough. However, this are minute details.
I definitely recommend this to all Clique fans because while it may be very different from what we saw in our minds, it still tells the timeless tale of fitting-in and insecurities with the "loveable" characters and their lines that we know!

A good movie

"I had very little hope for this when I sat down with my daughters to watch it. By the end of the movie it was clear that they all enjoyed it and so did I. One of my girls has read the books and said it was very close to it. Lets hope there are more of these.

The Pretty Commitee is More Real than Ever!
B Mallory | 01/14/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I was excited to here that the Pretty Commitee (the main charactors) was finally going to be a movie. I was worried though that the character descriptions in the book would be totally different in the movie (you know how directors change that) and it wouldnt follow closely to the story line. But it did do a fantastic job on both. But i gave it a four star just because it wasnt exactly the way i thought it would be. This movie is a good watch for a teens and if you read the books you really should get the movie just to see the differences and similaritie ( more similarities) or just for fun, but your sure not to be dissappointed i know i wasnt!"
Pretty good movie

"I wish this movie was longer, considering how many books are in the series. I really enjoyed it though to be perfectly honest. I hope they make a sequel."
Enjoyable

"If you were ever 14, or knew a girl who was this is a fun movie. Not as enjoyable as the book series but a good afternoon movie.
I watched it with my 15 year old daughter and she loved it. (she would give it 5 + stars)"
