This is a film that I have been meaning to watch for a while, but it is the sort of cheesy thing that my hubbie would not want to see, so when it was on the television one night when he was working... more

    5 Stars It's A Girls World After All 02/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Extremely funny, very true to life and featuring a great cast

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Makes you realise how mean us girls can really be! (not me obv...)

    BACKGROUND: Girls are a precarious lot. One day you are friends, the next you're not. One minute you love each other, the next you don't. Whilst boys solve their problems with a quick burst of violence followed by a handshake, with girls, everything is done covertly and in such a way that even the meanest girl can appear sweeter than sugar and genial in the eyes of all but her terrorised victim. Cliques, gangs and outcasts are unfortunately common fixtures of most schools and bullying is something that many girls have suffered at the hands of their so-called friends and enemies alike. This ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A more realistic view of high school life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages We don't see enough of the ordinary people

    Cady Herron returns from being home-schooled in Africa to high school in Illinois. She unwittingly walks into a war zone when she is befriended by both the arty goth Janis and her camp friend Damian and the ruling clique, the Plastics. She is torn between helping Janis to unseat Regina, Queen of the Plastics and becoming one of the most popular girls in school. She soon learns that social skills are the one thing that can’t be learnt. “Mean Girls” is based on the book “Queen Bees and Wannabes” by Rosalind Wiseman, which catalogues the seemingly endless social politics that govern school life ... more

    4 Stars My Breasts Can Always Tell When It's Gonna Rain Review with images 22/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Funny, great performance from Lindsay Lohan, great writing from Tina Fey, better than most teen movies out recently, slightly darker comedy,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite formulaic, predictable.

    Oh no not another Lindsay Lohan movie. Well yes I’m afraid so! On my last trip to the states I dragged my friends Molly and Laney to see “Mean Girls”, a movie I absolutely couldn’t wait to see. Lindsay is most associated with tween movies but this was actually a teen movie, well done to Lindsay for successfully making the transition. In the past few years there have been plenty of teen movies out there but they’ve either been too serious, or just not fun enough, “Mean girls” was right on the mark when it comes to fun teen movies. It shared a similar tone to “Bring it on” and “Clueless” which ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Funny, Very Similar to the normal HighSchool.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Shows how Cliques seem to be taking over

    Cady Heron is the new girl at school. She has moved from Africa, and has been home-schooled all her life. Cady is smart, pretty and somewhat of a grown up. Cady finds friends in the form of Janis and Damian - two students who aren't part of a clique and are classed as outcasts. Damian and Janis give Cady a quick guide to the way the school works, who's who and whats what. This is when 'The Plastics' are introduced - Regina George, Gretchen Weener and Karen Smith. Regina is the boss, she is classed as the Queen Bee of the school. Every girl wants to be Regina and every guy whats to have Regina ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sharp, satirical and silly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little too lightweight for some

    As everyone who has ever attended school knows teenage girls are possibly the most vicious creatures on this earth, unfortunately for Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) she’s never been to school before. Mean Girls tells the story of Cady (pronounced like Katie) who after a childhood being home schooled in Africa, enters the school system for the first time at an over ripe seventeen. Cady, clueless at first, is quickly embraced by both the unconventional Janice (Lizzie Caplan) and Damien (Daniel Franzese) and the ‘Plastics’ the most popular (and therefore evil) girls in school. Persuaded by Janice to ... more
