Cady Heron (Lohan) went from home schooling in Africa to being thrust in the midst of a High School setting. There she has trouble fitting in. Once she finds friends, in Janis (Caplan) and Damien (Franzese), she is torn from their company by the most popular and bitchy girls in school, Regina (McAdams), Gretchan (Chabert) and Karen (Seyfried). With Janis and Damien, Cady devises a plan to bring down the bully trio. When a boy, Aaron (Bennett), becomes a part of the mixture Cady begins to become just like Regina George (ring leader of the trio) in order to win the favor of Aaron. But this could result in her losing both him and her real friends...
Mean Girls is a satirical take on typical High School dynamics. Funny and corny but at the same time encompassing a serious tone this film will have you laughing in stitches as well as contemplating the effects of high school drama. The film breaks up the social groups that have become stereotypical in High School. At times Mean Girls tends to appear to take a humorous stance on bullying and bitchiness as well as having a convoluted and in places unresolved ending to the lessons that the film tries to teach. This degrades the concept and quality of the film significantly.
All in all it is a different (in a good way) chick flick which is bound to please the audience just be wary that the ending does not exactly satisfy the plot!
Recommended Audience: Teen Flick, Girls night.
