Advantages: amusing teen comedy Disadvantages: a slow start
...in high school at last.
Mean girls is cert 12. and a very amusing teen comedy . It has realistic points on what happens in secondary schools in these days. Lindsay Lohan puts on a fantastic performance as Kady , she shows the changes amazingly of how she goes from nice to mean to normal. Tina Fey who wrote the script also wrote herself a small but very important character and plays it very well.
Also Rachel Mcadams does an excellent performance ...

Advantages: Perfect for watching with the girls, or in mixed company Disadvantages: None
I have watched this film with the same girls probably about thirty times and it just gets better every time. The comedy is flawless, the plot ideal for watching with good friends a few litres of ice cream. Bowing to pressure from the guys, we now let them join us to watch and they prefer this film to any of the others we buy. The plot, a story about a girl (Cady Harrison played by Lindsay Lohan) who moves from Africa to start at High School having ... ...to be simple, but the comedy devices used make the film both original and fun to watch. Cady quickly discovers that fitting in at school is going to present her with a challenge and the film follows her attempts to infiltrate and undermine the world of the popular girls. We especially liked the bit towards the end when...well, if I told you it would spoil the film, but just trust me, you'll like it. A lot.
Written by Tina Fey, this film is an excellent ...

Advantages: Teen Girls love it, What high school is like Disadvantages: Not long enough !
...school. It also shows how mean girls can actually be. The cast is very good, and sort of completes the film. The comedy in it is hilarious and somehow very true. The 'Burn Book' however is extremelly mean and never seen anything like it, but it shows what some really mean girls do in their spar time. To be in the plastics you have to be fake, mean to everyone else, and wear lots of make-up and this strangely makes you want to watch the film over ...

Advantages: A fantastic film Disadvantages: Nothing
...Lindsy Lohan plays the perfect mean girl. She Carries her lines very well. The cast of this film as a whole work very well together.
The Special Features:
Deleted scenes - Deffinately worth a watch, but fairly obvious to see why they're left out of the film.
Commentary - Makes interesting listening if you like to hear about the more technical side of film making.
3 featurettes - Funny and i think if you are going to watch the extras on this then ... ...Theatrical trailer
i would recomend this film to anyone. It is fantastic! I would recomend this because it made me laugh the whole way through. However the film is a very typical teen movie and so if this genre of film does not appeal to you then i think that you should give this a miss.
I think this film is film of the year because it is funny enjoyable and everyone would love it it is just great.
BUY BUY BUY!!!!!!!! ...

Quick review of Mean Girls (DVD)
i loved this film its very funny and true. it shows how mean girls can be but is very funny. very entertaining.
Is full of funny jokes throughout the whole film. They play jokes on three girls who are popular within a school but one girl arrives (Kaddy Heron) and spends time with them to play jokes on them all but actually ends up turning into one of them herself. ...

Advantages: its funny and has good acting Disadvantages: none
...in the movie girls are mean and will back stab you to get what they want. Casting Lindsay Lohan in this film was a perfect choice if i may say so myself because she fits her roll as the outsider perfectly. Rachel Mcadams is also brilliant as the queen bitch of the three mean girls and Amy Gaseyer is hilliarious as the dumb blonde who thinks her boobs can tell when its going to rain.
If i had to rate this movie out of 10 then i would give this movie ...

Advantages: A complete chick flick with good humour Disadvantages: Can't be watched with men because it's too pink and fluffy
This film was far better than I had expected because it has all the elements you need from a chick flick movie.
Comedy, fashion, make-up, boyfriends and the plastics! The 'plastics' are a group of girls in the school who everyone thinks are perfect. They want to act like them,talk like them, be them.
They resemble Barbie and are more fake than Jordon! Everyone at school worships the plastics except for a gothic girl and a gay guy who set out to ... ...from Africa and pretends to be friends with the plastics but she is really in alliance with the gothic and the gay ( don't ask me why she picks those two) but she is way cooler than those guys and gradually morphs into a plastic herself. The film is based around girls talking about each other, betraying one anothers trust and generally backstabbing each other. This actually makes great comedy as they feed a plastic a 'slimming' bar which actually ...

Hi, i recently moveds to the States (san fran cisco) and have just recently started junior high (the mini-me of high school and because i'm 12). I made some friends and we all decided to the movies and as this was the only movie on we settled for it. I thouhgt it would be a chick flick at first but it was really hilarious!! I couldn't stop laughing. I also adour Lindsay Lohan after seeing her in Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Confessions...., Lovebug ... ...from Africa and experiencing school for the first time. She makes friends and goes undercover to pretend to be a "PLASTIC" - the popular ones and in the process gets caught into it and nearly becomes one herself. In the end after some serious mischief they all learnt their lesson. This film is absoloutley hilaroius although the only reason i agreed to watch it was becuase of Lindsay Lohan. Anywho (my way of saying anyhow), it was a great film and ...

...in another fun comedy. In Mean Girls, she plays Cady, a shy, clueless yet "hot" girl who used to be home schooled and now has to endure the american high school life.
We watch as she goes through embarrasing mistake after REALLY embarrasing mistake, meeting guys, joining mathletes :|.
What a perfect film to watch to get laughs, giggles, cringe moments and the times when you find yourself letting out an 'awwwwww'. Great cast, great story line, great ...

Advantages: Good Story line Disadvantages: A bit over the top for me.
Now dont get me wrong I did enjoy this film. and some of they things that were said did make me laugh,but i have to say - its not one of the best films i've seen. Cady harron moves to this bitchy high school from africa, were her mum and dad moved to when she was little. Cady settles in quite well making to new "dorky" friends Jancie &_____ ( sorry forgot his name ), Cady then moves in on the plastics, but is torn between the two groups!
this is ... ...portraits a very real stroy line. you can see the two types of people that exsist, the bitchy stuck up type, which im sure all of us have been aquainted with before, and the all around kind average girl.
another opinion i have is that i think its good the way you see the tranformation that cady goes through, but is it for the better or for the worse?
Sometimes aswell, i get really annoyed with films, and the part that annoyed me was when regina ...
