The press release makes a "special request" to not reveal the ending. They didn't need to worry. Anyone over PG-13 age is going to know exactly where this movie is going long before it gets there.
Top CriticThe In Crowd isn't a movie, it's Gorgonzola, a crumbly summertime stinker veined with pop-cultural fungus.
A country-club member takes a club employee under her wing in this cagey formula thriller that exploits homosexuality better than murder-mystery clues.
There's little noteworthy.
The earnest efforts of director Mary Lambert and her cast cannot keep this languid psychological drama, set at a posh Southern resort, from seeming trite and uninvolving.
It's so bad that even the kids, who (let's face it) aren't a very discriminating audience, were hooting at it during an opening-day screening.
Late-night Cinemax fare inexplicably granted a theatrical release.
Stone the crows! Or is that flog the dead horse? Either way, this is cobblers.
The In Crowd isn't a movie--it's a J. Crew catalogue. Junk mail, junk movie.
...if you're a fan of cat fights, you'll have it made in the shade.
Somebody wrote this, directed this, and wrote out checks for the actors. They all have family somewhere proudly boasting that their child makes movies in Hollywood.
This is the stuff of good, clean, campy fun. But instead of titillating, The In Crowd is nothing but a deadly dull business.
A story that might be enacted by a deranged and sexually confused 12-year-old girl with her Barbie dolls
There was no advance screening for this movie, so I actually had to pay to see this one myself. Don't make my mistake, because I'll never see that eight dollars ever again!
Lack of a sympathetic main character is only one of the film's many faults.
Nothing but a big, fat tease.
full of attractive, listless actors who apparently couldn't get jobs on any of the WB's teen soap operas striking poses and mouthing dusty dialogue.
It seems to think it knows something we don't, which makes it just as obnoxious as the over-privileged, over-sexed, over-boozed world of beautiful people it deigns to let us in on.
