In this survival-of-the-fittest teen comedy, high school is a dangerous jungle seething with teenagers who prey on each other like wild animals. The non-stop jokes are hilariously...
more...rewarding as they exaggerate adolescent vanity and satirize political correctness issues like race, class, and homosexuality. Here, the Plastics are the most popular girls in school. They wrote the rule book on Girl World, like always wearing pink on Tuesdays. And they're mean. So when pretty new girl Cady (Lindsay Lohan) arrives in school, the first thing they do is make fun of her. Then they try to win her over. Cady is torn between social cliques. She befriends the punky rebels Janis (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian (Daniel Franzese). But the guy Cady wants to date is friends with the Plastics--Regina (Rachel McAdams), Gretchen (Lacey Chabert), and Karen (Amanda Seyfriend)--so she has to be resourceful. Problem is, the two groups hate each other. Just trying to fit in, Cady jumps through hoops for the Plastics and becomes a mean girl in the process. Though her transformation is radical, when the final act of meanness is done, she learns a few valuable lessons.
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE writer Tina Fey contributes the script and also stars as a teacher, quietly smirking at her own jokes throughout the antics. Directed by FREAKY FRIDAY's Mark Waters, MEAN GIRLS doesn't miss a beat, following the faithful formula of teen fare such as SIXTEEN CANDLES and HEATHERS. The soundtrack features songs by Blondie, Missy Elliot, PINK, The Donnas, and Janis Ian.

It's A Girls World After All
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by hannahmc3

Advantages: Extremely funny, very true to life and featuring a great cast
Disadvantages: Makes you realise how mean us girls can really be! (not me obv...)

...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 ... Read review

Plastic fantastic
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by afy9mab

Advantages: A more realistic view of high school life
Disadvantages: We don't see enough of the ordinary people

...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” ...

My Breasts Can Always Tell When It's Gonna Rain
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by BabyGirl

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

Welcome to Girl World
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by bmthkatie

Advantages: Funny, Very Similar to the normal HighSchool.
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 ... Read review

Girls on Film
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by Zoe

Advantages: Sharp, satirical and silly
Disadvantages: A little too lightweight for some

...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 ... Read review

It's Like, Sooo Fetch!
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by j3ssica

Advantages: Funny, good cast
Disadvantages: None!

...if you understand it, then Mean Girls is satirical, apparently! Most films of this type are either too sickly or too 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, ... Read review

It is so last year!
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by atticusuk

Advantages: Works for target market
Disadvantages: I did not laugh at all.

...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. The ... Read review

You can't join Mathletes, it's social suicide!
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by ashley_2017

Advantages: Some parts where funny
Disadvantages: You knew what would happen before you even watched it

...people from school and write mean stuff that they found out about them. This book is kept secret and know one else knows about it apart from the plastics and Cady tells Janis and Damien about it. They ask if they are in it and Cady lies. I won’t spoil anymore of it but this book turns up in the school. CAST Lindsay Lohan – Plays the main 15 year old character Cady Heron. Plain Jane until she meets the plastics. They invite her to sit with ... Read review

Shut up! shut up! I didn't say anything
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by ms19

Advantages: realistic, funny
Disadvantages: --

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 ... Read review

Means Girls - but not a mean film!
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by clumsy221

Advantages: A refreshing American comedy about teenage life
Disadvantages: Easy to ignore as a film for teenagers - it is not!

***Why I watched Mean Girls**** Honestly, there was nothing on tv one Sunday afternoon and I found the film on Film 4 so I gave it try. 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) Lacey ...

Saw the Ending Twice!!!!
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by Blank

Advantages: Enjoyable Fluff
Disadvantages: Fluff

...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 ...

Queen Bees & Wannabes
Review of Mean Girls (DVD) by sparklya

Advantages: Fun, clever and sexy
Disadvantages: It's still a teen movie after all

...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. ... Read review
