Heathers lite though it may be, it's like a perfect pop song, so easily palatable. On Wednesdays they wear pink, one of them has a weave made out of some kid's mom's chest hair, and another met John Stamos on a plane. This is 100% fetch and you know it.

Very funny and reminded me quite a bit of John Hughes' movies. It isn't overly raunchy like a lot of the teen comedies that followed it and the cast is all very good, Lohan being in her prime and McAdams playing a ‘mean girl' all too well. Favorite character was Lizzy Caplan's. I also really likes the movies message and themes. That puts its above most high school comedies already. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it yet.

Mean Girls is the perfect high school teen film. Written by Saturday Night Live's Tina fey, the story follows a girl's journey through high school as she becomes friends with a group of popular girls. This movie is hilarious but at times it can get a little cheesy. I recommend this movie for teens that are looking for a good laugh but also are willing to face the important issues that one has to face in high school. This movie may be inappropriate or children under 13.

Girl fights and high school drama are the key components of Mean Girls, an entertaining film written by Tina Fey. This movie displays the classic stereotypes of teenagers in high school: geeks, jocks, and the popular kids. Regardless of whether the movie provides an accurate representation of high school life, this film's sarcasm and amusing script has helped to make it one of the most popular motion pictures among teens.

Would be the greatest movie ever made about high school if it weren't for the painfully sappy ending. Still, Tina Fey's script is insanely quotable. Rachel McAdams gives a real tour de force performance and Lindsay Lohan reminds us why she was ever famous to begin with.

Coming back to this as an adult (and finally being able to watch it all in a single sitting), this is still pretty decent! Manages to capture the awkward feeling of trying to fit in at school pretty well, and it's got some great belly laughs. It's a bit oddly paced and Hollywood's obsession with cliques is tiring, but I still had fun. Worth your time.

A smart screenplay from Tina Fey and a preview of some devices that she would use on her television shows makes Mean Girls way smarter and wittier than it has any business being. It doesn't punch that far above its weight class consistently, but when it did it had me rolling.

This is probably going to be a generational thing, but I've heard so many references to this movie, it's pretty thoroughly ingrained in pop culture. I also love the comment I read that it's a female version of Lord of the Flies, complete with one character having one lens of her glasses broken.

The plot is conventional and a little unsatisfying and unrealistic near the end (see Cady taking all the blame, then making everything okay with one speech) but a lively script populated by plenty of memorable one-liners ("It's like I have ESPN or something"), quirky side characters (see weary Mr. Duvall, gangsta math geek Kevin), and oddball asides (see the teens like animals bits) entertains, and the epilogue is touching ("All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you").

Very funny high school movie. Maybe the best for the mid 2000s generation (my generation). It's quality satire that has a solid truth in it even when it's borders on the extreme for laughs. Speaking of laughs, this movie is very funny. It does happen to be a bit cliche at the end unfortunately, but everything up to that point is quite great.

Full of enough excellent moments to cover over its multitude of sins; namely, a protagonist whose likeability disappears a third of the way through and is never properly reclaimed and a dull, vanilla love interest.

Decent high school flick, I mean it's no "10 Things I Hate About You" but I was diggin' it. The clique cliches seem like a worn out bag of tricks but they wring a few fresh laughs out of it. The love interest is disappointingly one-dimensional but the queen bee character is more fleshed out than I would have expected.

[777th ranking, woot!]. Directed by the brother of the guy who wrote "Heathers," but lacks both the '80s kitsch and the wallowing in relentless, reactionary obdurateness and pure, delicious, -evil.- That's pretty much what made "Heathers" fun, so I can understand those who read this as a watered-down version of it, but I prefer to take this one on its own terms; it's fun for what it is-- I approve.

It has been a while since I've seen this, but for some reason there was something about it that made it a guilty pleasure (probably my incessant masturbation). Now I can't put my finger on why it was charming, so I knocked a few points off (also giving it quite an immature score) which seems fitting.

It pretty much follows a standard teen movie arc, but it has a decent message and avoids a lot of potential pitfalls. But it's not great either. Lohan is hardly a great actress. She carries the film well enough, but lacks any charm beyond her good looks (which are admittedly formidable). The gags aren't awful but few of them elicit more than a smile. I had hoped for something funnier coming from Fey. I didn't hate watching it, but I can't imagine wanting to see it again.

I liked Mean Girls far more than I thought I would. The film ended up being very interesting. While I don't believe it was, or even really tried to be, an accurate representation of high school life, the setting made it something that almost everyone could relate to. The characters were interesting, and you want to see the story conclude, meaning you will see it through to the end. It wasn't incredibly funny, but it was humorous enough to give out a few laughs.

One of the decade's better high school movies (and what might well end up being the highlight of Lindsay Lohan's career), Mean Girls is funny, smart, more ambitious than the average high school movie in the message it tries to impart, and on top of all that it has one of the most smokin' hot collections of ladies ever. Kudos to Tina Fey's script.

This movie is probably one of the only movies of its genre I can appreciate.

I haven't watched this in a very long time because I was waiting until I bought it on Blu-ray. Thankfully I waited long enough to get the 4K version.

I held off on this for a while, because a title like “Mean Girls” doesn’t exactly sound like a must see movie. But with all of the praise it’s gotten, I thought it’d likely be worth checking out, and I was right. Tina Fey’s script is great, both in terms of the characters and the jokes. The story/structure isn’t all that groundbreaking, but it’s good enough for what the film tries to do. It makes for a good light movie that I can see having a lot of rewatch value.

Despite being the right age to have seen this, I never had. A smart script and great performance by Rachel McAdams stand out in this very fun movie. The comedy can be hit or miss at times, but hits more often than not to some extent, and it has a few really funny bits. A bit over clichéd at times, but surprises at others. Good example of the genre.

As I get older, I forget more and more about what high school was like, but I don't remember it being so vapid and mean. There are some good laughs here, except this whole act encompasses an entire school year which makes it pretty unbelievable (the moralistic ending falls a little flat too).

A nostalgic movie where teens are living in the pre-smartphone era. An era where fat butts were frowned upon. The movie is entertaining. Typical stereotypical high-school themes plus mature content in it - like as if it is Glee. A school portraying students in cliques. It's also not a movie where you can watch with your parents though. The plot is ok and it seems realistic enough. And you'll get a powerful self-improving message from Ms. Norbury at the near end of the movie.

Arguably the definitive cultural touchstone of the 2000s that is now essentially a period piece both in terms of context (i.e. being Lindsay Lohan's first role as an adult with boobs) and content (i.e. gretchen's "royal brat" shirt).

Superficial but generally entertaining high school comedy distinguishes itself on its particulars rather than its familiar overall form - engagingly performed by Lohan, McAdams and especially Fey, the screenplay has enough guffaw worthy zingers and fleshed out characters to be memorable (particularly McAdams' bitchy but humanised villain), even if the ultimate resolution and lessons learned are never in doubt. Peppered by great supporting players; Seyfried's hilariously vacuous bimbo a standout.

Okay, I wanted to see this just because of the memes. And I gave priority because I saw and heard so many positive comments and criticisms. Yet, I'm disappointed that I didn't see that light in this movie but in the end; it's a teenage movie. Also; two things to point out: 1- The cast which is perfect for that era and almost good enough for this era. 2- Amanda Seyfried. She single-handedly made me give 40 pts despite her short appearance.

Mean Girls both suffers and benefits from the weight of expectations.

Though not all of its hits land, and some of its humor has grown dated over the last 15 years, it's still a very solid comedy and definitely one of the best teen flicks of its era- or any era, really.

I regret having avoided this so very hard upon release. They were just really intent on shoving the damn thing down our throats at the time.

Seriously late to the party on this one. This film has gathered a certain cult status over the past 10 years and change, and it's not very hard to see why. Fey's script sharply manages to hit several home runs despite the startling amount of narrated exposition. The film cares more about character development than laughs, and so you won't be laughing all throughout, but you'll come away satisfied nonetheless.
