Mean Girls (2004)
Raised in the African bush country by her zoologist parents, Cady Heron (Lohan) thinks she knows about "survival of the fittest." But the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when the home-schooled 15-year-old enters public high school for the first time and falls prey to the psychological warfare and unwritten social rules that teenage girls face today.

Heathers lite though it may be, it's like a perfect pop song, so easily palatable. On Wednesdays they wear pink, one of them has a weave made out of some kid's mom's chest hair, and another met John Stamos on a plane. This is 100% fetch and you know it.

Mean Girls is the perfect high school teen film. Written by Saturday Night Live's Tina fey, the story follows a girl's journey through high school as she becomes friends with a group of popular girls. This movie is hilarious but at times it can get a little cheesy. I recommend this movie for teens that are looking for a good laugh but also are willing to face the important issues that one has to face in high school. This movie may be inappropriate or children under 13.

Very funny and reminded me quite a bit of John Hughes' movies. It isn't overly raunchy like a lot of the teen comedies that followed it and the cast is all very good, Lohan being in her prime and McAdams playing a mean girl' all too well. Favorite character was Lizzy Caplan's. I also really likes the movies message and themes. That puts its above most high school comedies already. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it yet.

Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert are both absolutely smoking hot in this movie. Also there are some great laughs thrown in throughout the movie.

Girl fights and high school drama are the key components of Mean Girls, an entertaining film written by Tina Fey. This movie displays the classic stereotypes of teenagers in high school: geeks, jocks, and the popular kids. Regardless of whether the movie provides an accurate representation of high school life, this film's sarcasm and amusing script has helped to make it one of the most popular motion pictures among teens.

Would be the greatest movie ever made about high school if it weren't for the painfully sappy ending. Still, Tina Fey's script is insanely quotable. Rachel McAdams gives a real tour de force performance and Lindsay Lohan reminds us why she was ever famous to begin with.

Surprisingly funny and well-acted. All of the positives of this film are due - in my opinion - from Tina Fey's script.

[777th ranking, woot!]. Directed by the brother of the guy who wrote "Heathers," but lacks both the '80s kitsch and the wallowing in relentless, reactionary obdurateness and pure, delicious, -evil.- That's pretty much what made "Heathers" fun, so I can understand those who read this as a watered-down version of it, but I prefer to take this one on its own terms; it's fun for what it is-- I approve.

The plot is conventional and a little unsatisfying and unrealistic near the end (see Cady taking all the blame, then making everything okay with one speech) but a lively script populated by plenty of memorable one-liners ("Is butter a carb?"), quirky side characters (see weary Mr. Duvall, gangsta math geek Kevin), and funny unconventional asides (see the teens like animals bits) entertains, and the epilogue is touching ("All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you").

This is probably going to be a generational thing, but I've heard so many references to this movie, it's pretty thoroughly ingrained in pop culture. I also love the comment I read that it's a female version of Lord of the Flies, complete with one character having one lens of her glasses broken.

Full of enough excellent moments to cover over its multitude of sins; namely, a protagonist whose likeability disappears a third of the way through and is never properly reclaimed and a dull, vanilla love interest.

It has been a while since I've seen this, but for some reason there was something about it that made it a guilty pleasure (probably my incessant masturbation). Now I can't put my finger on why it was charming, so I knocked a few points off (also giving it quite an immature score) which seems fitting.

A smart screenplay from Tina Fey and a preview of some devices that she would use on her television shows makes Mean Girls way smarter and wittier than it has any business being. It doesn't punch that far above its weight class consistently, but when it did it had me rolling.

Mean Girls was a pretty good movie. What better way to learn life lessons than through comedy? I would reccomend this movie to anyone who has ever been in high school and experienced the hardships of trying to fit in. This movie makes fun of these stereotypes and shows why they are pointless.

Its reputation has become slightly over-inflated thanks to Tina Fey's infinitely quotable script, but Mean Girls is definitely an enjoyable addition to the high school genre.

Decent high school flick, I mean it's no "10 Things I Hate About You" but I was diggin' it. The archetypal cliques seem like a worn out bag of tricks but they wring a few fresh (fetch?) laughs out of it - along with a few stale ones. The love interest is disappointingly one-dimensional but the queen bee character is a little more fleshed out than I would have expected.

Very funny high school movie. Maybe the best for the mid 2000s generation (my generation). It's quality satire that has a solid truth in it even when it's borders on the extreme for laughs. Speaking of laughs, this movie is very funny. It does happen to be a bit cliche at the end unfortunately, but everything up to that point is quite great.

A wondrous adaptation of "Queen Bee" by Tina Fey, this film about high school hierarchy is wittier, sharper and funnier than any teen comedy of the last ten years, easily.

Surprisingly, it's an entertaining movie. Don't let the tweeny-bopper image throw you off, this is actually a rather funny movie that only occasionally delves into the preachiness associated with this kind of movie.

Tina Fey is a brilliant writer, and she proves it here. Adapting the book Queen Bees and Wannabes, Tina manages to skyrocket Lindsay into the stratosphere of teenage superstardom with this movie. This is a very good movie with a good message and it's funny to boot.

One of the decade's better high school movies (and what might well end up being the highlight of Lindsay Lohan's career), Mean Girls is funny, smart, more ambitious than the average high school movie in the message it tries to impart, and on top of all that it has one of the most smokin' hot collections of ladies ever. Kudos to Tina Fey's script.

This movie is probably one of the only movies of its genre I can appreciate. I has some good laughs and I guess it's a successful parody on the 'habitat' of teenage girls in american high-schools, but in the end its just another teen comedy starring the utterly anoying teenage superslut Lindsey Lohan.

Coming back to this as an adult (and finally being able to watch it all in a single sitting), this is still pretty decent! Manages to capture the awkward feeling of trying to fit in at school pretty well, and it's got some great belly laughs. It's a bit oddly paced and Hollywood's obsession with cliques is tiring, but I still had fun. Worth your time.

Only a teen comedy on the surface, this is really for anyone. Lohan does a great job, and Tina Fey is one of the funnier people working today.

It pretty much follows a standard teen movie arc, but it has a decent message and avoids a lot of potential pitfalls. But it's not great either. Lohan is hardly a great actress. She carries the film well enough, but lacks any charm beyond her good looks (which are admittedly formidable). The gags aren't awful but few of them elicit more than a smile. I had hoped for something funnier coming from Fey. I didn't hate watching it, but I can't imagine wanting to see it again.
