Mean Girls (DVD)

...to the world of the Mean Girls and finds herself becoming increasingly one of them. After she fall for Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron, the girls declare war in the back-stabbing, no-holds-barred way that only teenage girls can, drawing the entire female population of the school in to their battle. Yes, that's right people, there's gonna be a girl fight… CAST (MAIN CHARACTERS)- - LINDSAY LOHAN, the twenty year old infamous actress and star of 'The ...
...superb comedy, without mentioning the Mean Girl herself - Regina George. Regina is not just a gem in her own right, with her saccharine sweet bitchiness and brainless enforcing of rules such as wearing pink on a Wednesday and only wearing your hair up once a week, but her comic greatness extends to her bizarre white trash family, which includes a clueless mother who is desperate to cling on to her youth at all costs and a little sister who overtly ...

Review of Mean Girls (DVD)

...new girl to queen of mean is a believable one because it is incremental. Though she may start hanging around with the head bitches so she can plot their downfall with her social outcast friends, it easy to understand how she could be sucked into their way of life. Her language and clothes reflect her transformation. She starts out speaking standard American English, which is soon peppered with meaningless teen-speak, (calling everyone “bee-yatch” ...
...also switches from wearing jeans and shirts to barely there mini skirts and make-up by the trowel-full. Her character’s narration illustrates how her viewpoint changes. When we first see her in social situations, she comments on them in voice-over as David Attenborough might, and we see them acting as African animals. By the near-end of the film she is reduced to commenting on how people fit the Plastics’ physical ideal. As she’s the lead and is ...

Review of Mean Girls (DVD)

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 ...
...when it comes to fun teen movies. It shared a similar tone to “Bring it on” and “Clueless” which is most definitely a good thing considering they are my favourite teen movies. I was also glad to see a good cast, as that’s the one thing movies of this kind lack. I didn’t expect “Mean Girls” to get good reviews, hell I didn’t even expect it to get a lukewarm reception, but I was wrong as usual. “Mean girls” was a hit with critics. Shock horror. Thanks ...

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 ...
...as the Queen Bee of the school. Every girl wants to be Regina and every guy whats to have Regina, that is everyone apart from Janis and Damian. During an attempt to fight her way through the well organised Canteen, Cady is invited to sit with the Plastics. Cady is then asked if she would like to sit with the Plastics all week, and basically become part of their Clique. After Cady tells Damian and Janis, they decide to use this as a way for Janis ...

...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 infiltrate the Plastics ...
...mildly feminist message isn’t lost on the teenagers that I have no doubt will love it. Unlike other brilliant but more obviously unconventional high school comedies like ‘Election’ and ‘Ghost World’, ‘Mean Girls’ plays to the widest audience possible and succeeds in satisfying everyone – no mean feat. ...

...a little too much? Mean Girls is quite hard to describe. If you just watch it with your brain switched off, you'll think of it as a your usual teen comedy, but there is somewhat of a dark feel to it, and it pokes fun at the class system in high schools. My sister looking over my shoulder has just told me I'm looking for the word 'satirical' - I have no idea what that means, but if you understand it, then Mean Girls is satirical, apparently! Most ...
...dark and unpleasant, but Mean Girls is funny enough to pull it off! There are some great one liners and scenes which had me snorting, I was laughing that much! All the cast do a pretty good job, particularly Lindsay Lohan. She's perfect as the naive but sweet Cady. She is also the narrator and is extremely likeable and friendly, despite her sometimes extremely bitchy behaviour! My only problem is that Lindsay's boobs sometimes do steal the attention... ...

...to have a choice so Mean Girls it was and besides the prospect of Lindsay Lohan in a school uniform was not totally without its appeal. Now bearing in mind that the target market for this film is probably the 12 to 18 year old girl market I did not have very high expectations and therefore I was not disappointed to find myself not really enjoying the film and in what is meant to be a comedy I can count on one hand the number of times I laughed. ...
...does a better job than Mean Girls in providing an appealing lead character facing up to some cruel cool kids. What also lets this film down is the awful muddled ending where it lurches uncontrollably into sentimental slush which was as cringe worthy as a Halle Berry Oscar acceptance speech. I have never read the book Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman on which the film was based but this film has the feeling of a story that has a basic ...

Mean Girls is a 2004 teen comedy film directed by Mark Waters, starring Lindsay Lohan. The plastics rule over high school, while people both hate and love them, they want to be them. Cady Heron has lived in Africa for all of her life until she turned 15 and moved to America and enrolled in high school, where she catches the eye of the plastics. Two of the art crew warn her about Regina, the queen bee of the plastics and how horrible she can be to ...
...it around and use Cady to bring the plastics down from within. Will it work? Will Cady change? The casting was really well done, and all of the actors seem to play their roles perfectly. Lindsay Lohan was the headliner of the film, playing the main character, Cady Heron. She plays this part very well, and you can see her transform from clueless home schooled girl to plastic bitch in a matter of effortlessness. She is famous for many other films including ...

Mean Girls is a teen film, yes and when you probably saw the adverts for it you would have thought not another American teen movie but this is a film with a difference from the rest. You may remember Lindsay Lohan from the recent remake of Freaky Friday and from The Parent Trap when she was a lot younger but now she has grown up and is becoming one of the more famous teens in Hollywood. I think she made a good decision to do this film because her ...
...light. The difference with Mean Girls to other teen movies is that it was given a lot of positive reviews which also encouraged me to go see this. I went to see it with my friends. The film begins by us being seeing Lindsay's character Cady her parents getting her ready for school. This is very unusual for Cady as she has been homeschooled and never attended a real school in her life before. She lived in Africa up until now with animals but of course ...

I was a bit behind the times because the film was first released in 2004. I proud to say I now own it on DVD and can watch it whenever I want to! ***The cast*** Lindsey Lohan as Kady Heron (Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Herbie Fully Loaded) Rachel McAdams as Regina George (The Notebook, Wedding Crashers) ...

These girls are the queen bees that's everyone wants to be, they have the best of everything including clothes, ...

...to watch the end of Mean Girls twice, quite a feat don’t you think? I’m nowhere near being a teenager, those years sit distantly behind me but when friend e-mailed and asked if I wanted to go with her, I said yes. I admit, I enjoy the odd bit of fluff. Friends response was, ‘Don’t worry, it’s a cult’ – so I didn’t worry, and I went to watch. I wouldn’t say it’s a cult, its not as dark as Heathers, but it is enjoyable, and it doesn’t take itself ...

The story goes as such: - Cady (the ubiquitous Lindsey Lohan) has never been to a ‘proper’ school before having spent most of her life in Africa with her zoologist parents, she was thus home schooled. However, the time comes whence she is thrown in with the lions, or gorillas -animals in any event. Her first day, naturally, is not all roses and she ends up munching on her food in a toilet. However, on the second ...

...is sucked in to the mean girl mindset... ~THE ACTING~ Lindsay Lohan is brilliant as the innocent natural star that is Cady. She is almost too stunning for the role, to graceful and sexy, and along with the character's brains (Cady is a maths geek) she is too good to be true at times - but this is Hollywood so we can't ask for too much realism. Lohan is expressive, fresh and fun to watch. Regina was perhaps slightly weakly portrayed by Rachel M. ...
...part, but decided that she didn't want to play the role of a bitch so early in her career. The directors had trouble finding someone to be a strong enough adversary to Lohan, and I suppose they didn't want her to be overshadowed so McAdams does the job - it's just that at times she doesn't seem cool or pretty enough to have won so much admiration. The other important members of the cast are the plastic girls, Gretchen (Lacey Chabert) and Karen (Amanda ...
