Fashion Chicks

It's all been done before - nerdy girl wants to become popular, popular girl is vacuous and vicious.

You can guess the rest, as Fashion Chicks is staggeringly predictable and full of lazy outdated stereotypes.

Perhaps what is worst is that the lead character, Nel, is so irritating - just as you think she's about to achieve triumphal revenge she reverts to being absurdly craven and weak.

I almost preferred her nemesis, Tiffany - at least her behaviour was consistent.

It appears that some people enjoyed this movie, so there's no accounting for taste, but if you want to see a great teen flick with some similar themes and done a million times better, watch Clueless instead.
