Plot

Adrien Williams is released from a psychiatric hospital; her doctor (Dr Thomas) feels that she has been cured of her illness (the details of which are not revealed until much later in the film) and gets her a job at his exclusive country club. As she is settling in to her new job, she meets many new people, discovering the sharp separation between the "help" (which consists of her co-workers) and the "in crowd" (the wealthy and beautiful younger members of the club). The young leader of this group is Brittany Foster. As soon as Brittany sets eyes on Adrien, she looks at her eyes, hair, lips, body, breasts & legs, and meets her new friend & believes she is bisexual. Brittany takes Adrien into her circle of friends (much to the displeasure of Brittany's once-close friend, Kelly) and they become best friends & lesbians.

Critical Reception

"The In Crowd" met with almost uniformly negative reviews. Critics noted the movie was predictable, with some even calling the suspensful scenes, "unintentionally funny."
