Massie Block’s life is turned upside down when sweet Claire Lyons and her family move into her family’s guest house. Not only is Claire going to her school, but she is trying to fit into Massie’s fashion crazed clique, “The Pretty Committee.”

Ever since Claire has entered the Block’s house, she has been nice and trying to be Massie’s friend. She even got Massie a charm for her charm braclet. No matter how mean Massie and her clique are to Claire, she continues to want to be a part of the group. Soon Claire gets tired of it, and wants to ruin Massie.

Will Claire ruin Massie and be part of “The Pretty Committee?” Will Claire, Massie and the rest of “The Pretty Committee” ever be friends?

We loved this movie. It was wonderfully written, and the casting of the actors and actresses was spot on. Ellen Marlow who played Claire did a great job, along with the other cast, but she did stand out. You could see the pain and the desire of wanting to fit in in this young actresss’ eyes. You will have to watch it, but the movie has a great message. We can only say this about a few movies, but this one we could watch again and not get bored with it.

If you like movie “Mean Girls,” then you will enjoy this movie.

Some of the cast members are:

Elizabeth McLaughlin plays Massie Block (The leader of “The Pretty Committee.”)

Ellen Marlow plays Claire Lyons

Sophie Anna Everhard plays Dylan Marvil (one of Massie’s Friends)

Samantha Boscarino plays Alicia Rivera (one of Massie’s Friends)

Bridgit Mendler plays Kristen Gregory (one of Massie’s Friends)

Vanessa Marano plays Layne Abeley (Massie’s crush’s sister)

Keli Price plays Chris Abeley ( Massie’s crush)

“The Clique” is based off of Lisi Harrison’s Clique series.
