The
In Crowd (2000)
Let me save you some time and a little bit of money.
"The In Crowd" sucks. There, now you don't have to see
it. You don't even have to read this review any further.
Brown, oblong, stinky - you don't want to touch it.
That describes a piece of shit as much as it describes
this film. (Well, except for the brown and oblong part).
Oh yeah, there is some lesbian undertones too. The film
is like a watered down, dull, lifeless homage to "Wild
Things." There's even a cat fight in the pool.
The film stars Lori Heuring as Adrien, a recent release
from a mental institution. She got the gig because she
looks like a cross between Marcia Brady and Angelina
Jolie. Her chief rival for screen time here, other than
the enormous amount of flies this trash attracts, is
Susan Ward as Brittnay. She got the gig cause she looks
like a jumbled genetic mess made up of Neve Campbell
and Denise Richards. These girls might be big stars
if they would only get some collegen injected into their
lips!
The main reason I wanted to see this film was Nathan
Bexton. He was so cute and perfect in Gregg Araki's
"Nowhere." After this film, that's exactly where he's
headed - nowhere. He doesn't even look cute any more.
He seems to spend most of the film attempting not to
lisp. It's degrading stuff. In fact, everyone in the
film should really be ashamed. Daniel Hugh Kelly, Tess
Harper, Jay Ferguson, Peter Mackenzie... Is this the
best work they can get. That's just fucking sad. And
Taylor Negron pops up here in what is nothing more than
an uncredited cameo to play a gay hairdresser. He should
be kicked out of the club! It was enough to make me
green around the gills!
And director Mary Lambert should join the list of
those with red faces. Her direction is lifeless and
yawn-inducing. She cannot helm an exciting moment to
save her life. Worse yet, she allowed them to put her
name on this crap. It should come as no surprise that
her previous credits include the "Pet Cemetery" films
and a TV movie called "My Stepson, My Lover." This is
obviously a woman of no discerning taste or mental fortitude.
Mary Harron should sue her and make her change her name
just in case there is ever a small error and someone
confuses the two. Someone should petition the director's
Guild to force her to officially have to be credited
as Mary "Piece of Crap" Lambert.
"The In Crowd" has lotsa tits, a few of them naked
for seconds. It has one scene where blood is splattered
slightly. It's rated PG-13. It's as annoying as the
richie upper class morons that act as it's characters.
It's a waste of time. It will give you a headache. The
best thing that can be said about it is that it makes
you crave a martini.
Note:
Filmed in the fall of 1999 in Charleston, South Carolina.
