Movie Reviews of The In Crowd
Movie Review: Somewhere between Dawson's Creek and Melrose Place
Summary: 3 Stars
Recently released from a mental institution, a hot blonde named Adrien (Lori Heuring) gets set up with demeaning job at a posh country club full of aimless trust-fund teens in the mold of Paris Hilton. All the gorgeous kids are led by seductive socialite Brittany (Susan Ward), whose decadent lifestyle, beautiful but sycophantic friends, and mysterious past has turned her heart as black as charcoal. Prompted by Brittany's inexplicable initial friendliness (BFFs), Adrien ingratiates herself into the gorgeous group, and get used to the glamorous lifestyle. It's a great setup, but eventually the cast's beauty must step aside for a plot.
Why was Adrien in a loony bin? Who cares, she looks great in that dress!
What's up with the other rich kids? Um, did you see the blonde bulging out of that pink bikini!?
Why is Brittany so inviting with Adrien? OH EM GEE! They are both in a clearly frigid pool!
Eventually, dark pasts uncover ridiculous revelations that tie the putrid plot together similar to a 4-year old attempting a Windsor knot. This movie is perfect for a teen crowd (not me), or someone who enjoys the FACT that Susan Ward's exposes her breasts more than once, and they steal the show (me). For the most part, the problem with the drama is that it's equally impossible for any viewer to look beyond the boobs to believe Ward is scary or Heuring is powerful.
It's essentially somewhere between Dawson's Creek and Melrose place, not as innocent as the former, and about as catty as the latter. Aside from the casting director, this movie doesn't deserve any awards; it's just about hyper-sexual, incredible looking, early twenty-somethings parading around the beach in swimsuits, and attending swank parties. It's a guilty pleasure movie carried by the casts' looks - which is fine by me.
Summary of The In Crowd
Tennis golf sailing ripple hunks awesome babes jealousy murder name your sport when young hotties gather at a posh country club in this stylish suspense thriller. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/06/2005 Starring: Susan Ward Matthew Settle Run time: 105 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Mary LambertIf you like murder and dig beachwear, you'll love The In Crowd. Former obsessive Adrien is released from a mental institution (cue ominous music) and her nice psychiatrist finds her a summer job at a snooty country club, apparently reasoning that there's no better place to rebuild your self-esteem. Adrien quickly encounters the rich kids, who mostly run around being rich and beautiful. Rich queen Brittany decides to become Adrien's new best friend. Could it be for (oh, no!) the wrong reasons? Actually, her reasons turn out to be baffling, along with the rest of the poorly thought-out plot and thinly sketched characters. Director Mary Lambert makes a game attempt at building suspense with incredibly dark lighting and generic Spooky Music, but the script doesn't give her any help. The ending involves one of those elaborate, Scooby-Doo-ish plots that require knowing precisely how someone will react and exactly where she will go when she is very, very upset. Nonetheless, the movie presents lots of attractive young people in swimwear and provides an excellent opportunity to play the which-of-these-actors-will-still-have-a-career-next-year game. Enjoy. --Ali Davis
