Mean Girls (DVD)

Such a great chick flick! Mean girls starring Lindsay Lohan as Cady has moved from the African bush where her parents were zoologists. Her life turns upside down as she has to get an education and has to go to highschool for the first time! Understandably its very weird for her. She finds two friends called Damien and Janice. Cady makes friends with 'the plastics' and Janice makes Cady find out everything the plastics say. Unfortunatly she falls ...
...book which has lots of mean things written in and of course tells Janice and Damien. It all starts going wrong when Cady goes to a halloween party, so Janice decides that they had to break up the plastics! In the end she has to choose between real friendship and popularity. This film is really funny and can be very upsetting. A lot of bullying happens and as a teenage girl i know what its like so it is probably more upsetting for teens. However ...

Review of Mean Girls (DVD)

The plot of this film is not one of its strengths, so I won’t dwell on it for long. We meet Cady Heron played by the lovely Lindsey Lohan. She was raised in Africa, and home schooled all of her life. Her parents are not exactly clued up about American high school, and are filled with all the anxiety of parents sending their 4 year old for their first day when Cody enrolls. The high school does not completely welcome Cody (pronounced ‘Katy’) with ...
...members of the year, including an apparent lesbian, and a bloke ‘almost too gay to function’. However, she is quickly eyed up by the local reigning queens of the school, the ‘plastics’ and invited to join their clique. She hatches a plan with her new friends from the social retard sector to infiltrate the plastics and break them from the inside. Very soon the good old total predictability cogs start turning. Cody is accused of becoming not only an ...

...the Plastics. The three mean but beautiful and popular girls that could make her live hell. Regina who is the leader of this little clique, Gretchen who worships Regina and Karen, “the dumbest person you will ever meet”. They ask her to sit with them at lunch and soon enough she is completely accepted into their group. Cady doesn’t really want to join them as she doesn’t want to lose Janis and Damien as her friends but they convince her that it would ...
...Cady starts to play mean but starts to alienate her original friends too. The more time she spends with them, the more Plastic Cady becomes. My thoughts I recently won Mean Girls on DVD. Although, I’m not a teenager anymore (I’m 21), I thought I would at least give it a try. Lindsay Lohan who plays Cady seems to be in these kind of films at a lot so the film is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A teenage chick flick. Its not a bad film ...

Review of Mean Girls (DVD)

...the many treats that makes MEAN GIRLS such a skillful delight. The mall and the lunchroom are metaphors for Cady. Unlike outsiders Janis (Lizzy Caplan), an angry goth artist, and Damian (Daniel Franzese), big and happily gay, Cady is bemused by the sharp delineation of the cliques. Like The Untouchables of India, there are sub-castes and a highly formalized social order. (Imagine being so low in a sub-caste that your shadow can "pollute" passers ...
...in four years of social ostracism). Of course, the difference here is that anyone can jump social classes in Western society through cosmetic surgery, dieting, and money. Caste-jumping starts in elementary school. Even outcasts Janis and Damian warn Cady of the pitfalls of joining the wrong group. It is social suicide to join the Mathletes, the predominantly foreign student Math club. For Cady, this is a problem since she is good at math and her ...

'Mean girls' is a version of the heart-of-darkness teenage social comedy 'Heathers'...but for the more Tweenies audience. Starring Lindsay Lohan...it is predictable ( as romance teen comdies usually are ) before even hitting the play button. However, though predictable...very enjoyable. I watched 'Mean Girls' last night and it took my mind off the fact that my other half was roaming around Greece with 15 other lads. A definate feel good movie. ...

When Cady discovers that Regina has a plan to walk all over her, she decides to tunr the entrie school against the Queen Bee not realising she has in fact became a 'mean girl'. The storyline, is surprising catchy and funny. The film portrays the student stereotypes of American high schools but by the hour mark the ...

Review of Mean Girls (DVD)

Mean Girls was a great film. It was about four girls Cady (the new girl),Regina,Karen and Gretchen. Cady used to live in Africa and was home schooled all her life untill now. She moved from Africa and starts a new life in America at a new high school. Little does she know that the school is split half seperating the plastics (the popular people) and the averages. Cady soon makes friends with Janis and Damian who thinks it would be fun to mess with ...
...deleted scenes,a 'are you a mean girl?' game, gag reel and two music videos. Also the film was not at all fuzzy but very clear and high quality. And it was very simple to get the subtitles up. And I hope you enjoy the film !!!!!! ...

Meam Girls is DEFINETLY a must watch for teens. The story line really sheds light into exactly how high school can be. Good/bad. It gives off a positive message, giving you the choice of which path to follow. The acting is superb, and you really get into it from the first scene. Its not too long, so you dont get lost in it which is a rreal benefit. All in all I'd give it a BIG thumbs up, and a real treat to miss out on. ...

Synopsis 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. Here, the Plastics are the most popular girls in school. They wrote the rule book on Girl World, like always wearing pink on Tuesdays. They are just plain mean...

...to describe this film. Sure, it has a couple of funny spots during the film but most of it was just normal was more of a middle of the road American Comedy which I am sad to say are not really that funny. Lindsey Lohan did as good a job as she could as Cady Heron but I just think the film wasn't good enough for her neither was the rest of the cast. I can't really give a valid reason why this film wasn't funny or enjoyable but I found myself waiting ...

Review of Mean Girls (DVD)

Released in 2004. A teen based film capturing truth about teenage years in an interesting way. Lindsay Lohan plays a teenage girl who has moved from Africa to the USA. Enrolled in a local high school, she experiences differences between two cultures (making an effective storyline). The group of friends she encounters prey on each other like in wild africa - likened to monkeys, and hyeinas. She constantly battles between groups of friends - manipulating ...
...control - she ultimately looses all her friends in the end. This DVD is rated 12, runs for a total of 100 Mins. As standard it provides subtitles for the hearing impaired, outtakes. The audio is available in either stereo or dolby 5.1 surround outputs - giving compatibility to everyone. I enjoyed the film - wasn't too long, and was rather funny at times. Lindsay Lohan played a very good role. I think this film is suitable for most families to watch ...

Great chick flick! I really enjoyed this film. Lindsay Lohan is really good in it. The storyline is of a girl who comes to America after being home schooled and living in Africa, she becomes friends with these 2 students at her school and they divise a plan to bring down the 'plastics', a group of three popular girls who terrorise the rest of the school, and turn them against each other. Basically to give them a taste of their own medicine. And ...
...of the 'plastics' ex-boyfriends. Cady (Lohan) plays at being friends with the 'plastics' but ends up becoming one her self, finally seeing the err of her ways, she reverts back to the old, nice Cady, and the plastics learn their lesson and become nice too and everything is (of course) wonderful in the end. There are some great outfits in the film, and the part of the film with the talent contest is hilarious! Despite being a real girly film, it ...

Review of Mean Girls (DVD)

...fairly surprised to see that Mean Girls is actually very funny and in most parts well acted, particularly by Lindsay Lohan, making it very enjoyable to watch. The basics of the story without wishing to say too much for anyone that hasnt seen it is that Cady (Lindsay Lohan) is a 15yr old who has been home schooled in Africa by her zoologist parents. She returns to the US and enters a public high school, where she is taken in by Janis Ian (Lizzy Caplan) ...
...and Karen. Janis encourages Cady to mingle with the plastics and in a sense uses Cady to seek her own revenge upon Regina George. When Cady falls for Regina's ex boyfriend Aaron, she asks Regina to put in a good word for her. When she finds that Regina takes Aaron back she joins Janis in wanting revenge and a great amount of bitchiness takes place. It is amusing to watch a movie that in essence is describing normal girl behaviour albeit slightly ...
