Mean Girls Review Summary

In a strange twist of irony, "Lindsay Lohan was still a good girl" when she starred in Mean Girls. Lohan plays a teen raised in South Africa that moves to an America, going to school for the first time, having been previously home-schooled by her anthropologist parents. While her parents are now seeking normalcy, instead Lohan finds "The Plastics," new friends that are beautiful, but snobby and selfish. Reviewers find Mean Girls to end in a predictably happy ending with a great lesson for teenagers, which has them suggesting it should be required viewing for every teen. Mean Girls also stars Rachel McAdams of Wedding Crashers and Tina Fey of Baby Mama.

Don't worry, Lindsay was still a good girl when she made this

a movie lover, a comedy connoisseur, into some dramas but not all

FEB

2008

Before Lindsay Lohan turned into whatever she turned into, she used to make some good movies with good lessons for teens. Mean Girls was one of them. I've seen this movie multiple times and I've always enjoyed it. It's the kind of movie that makes me hope Lindsay changes her life around and gets back into this movie business! — The Plot surrounds Cady, a young girl who was raised in Africa since her parents are zoologist. She is now moving to a new American school which is actually the first time she's ever gone to school since she was homeschooled her whole… read full review »

Every school had a mean girl

JUL

2007

Mean Girls stars Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams and Tina Fey. Lohan says at Cade - a young girl who was home schooled by her anthropologist parents in South Africa. They moved her into a public school to bring her a sense of "normalcy". — Enter "The Plastics" - three snobby, selfish, beautiful girls who invite Cade into their world. Except to be part of teenage royalty, there are rules - one ponytail a week, no sweatpants, watch what you eat, and more. — Lohan is great as she tranforms from the nice, sweet girl into a "plastic", eventually taking the crown as the queen of high… read full review »

I surprised myself by actually liking this movie

a movie guru, Lover of quirky, unique films

AUG

2007

Bottom-Line: Go rent Mean Girls, pop some popcorn, grab a bag of M&M's, a can of Cherry Coke, settle in and prepared to be entertained. — I am not a die-hard Lindsay Lohan fan of that I can surely attest, but I am a red-blooded American male so she does not completely escape my notice, my discerning eye if you will. So I have watch with morbid fascination as Lindsay morphed from a beautiful, vibrant, shapely auburn haired young woman into a scrawny blonde haired teenaged boy with awful skin. At least she has admitted that she sort of has a problem with… read full review »

Makes teens hope for this to happen in high school

comedy fan

JUN

2008

This film was pretty funny, but also kind of predictable in a way. Everyone knows good beats bad, right? But who would've known that the BURN book would've happened, or everyone would start to hate Cady at the end? Of course, the story has a happy ending, and a great lesson for teens: DON'T BE MEAN IN HIGH… read full review »

Mean Girls IS this generations Clueless! A must rent with teens!

Lover of quirky, unique films, comedy fan, a fan of clever plots, character-lover, movie buff, a DVD collector

DEC

2007

Mean Girls is very enlightening and made me glad that I am not in highschool! Each character had their own unique delivery of lines style about them. Just like Clueless this movie is a must see or a prerequisite if you will for anyone who is, has been or will be a teenager. — Definitely a good conversation starter for those little hormone driven embryos who find it difficult to have serious moralistic convos with their parent/guardians. —… read full review »
