Amazon.co.uk Review
The cutting wit of Tina Fey (the first female head writer for US comedy breeding ground Saturday Night Live) brilliantly fuses pop culture and smart satire. Fey wrote Mean Girls, in which a formerly home-schooled girl named Cady (Lindsay Lohan) gets dropped into the sneaky, vicious world of the Plastics, three adolescent glamour-girls who dominate their public high school's social heirarchy. Cady first befriends a couple of art-punk outsiders who persuade her to infiltrate the Plastics and destroy them from within--but power corrupts, and Cady soon finds the glory of being a Plastic to be seductive. Mean Girls joins the ranks of Clueless, Bring It On, and Heathers, cunning movies that use the hormone-pressurized high school milieu to put the dark impulses of human nature--ambition, envy, lust, revenge--under a comic microscope. Fey manages to skewer everyone without forgetting the characters' hapless humanity; it's a dazzling and delightful balancing act. --Bret Fetzer

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. The non-stop jokes are hilariously rewarding as they exaggerate adolescent vanity and satirize political correctness issues like race, class, and homosexuality. Here, the Plastics are the most popular girls in school. They wrote the rule book on Girl World, like always wearing pink on Tuesdays. And they're mean. So when pretty new girl Cady (Lindsay Lohan) arrives in school, the first thing they do is make fun of her. Then they try to win her over. Cady is torn between social cliques. She befriends the punky rebels Janis (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian (Daniel Franzese). But the guy Cady wants to date is friends with the Plastics--Regina (Rachel McAdams), Gretchen (Lacey Chabert), and Karen (Amanda Seyfriend)--so she has to be resourceful. Problem is, the two groups hate each other. Just trying to fit in, Cady jumps through hoops for the Plastics and becomes a mean girl in the process. Though her transformation is radical, when the final act of meanness is done, she learns a few valuable lessons.
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE writer Tina Fey contributes the script and also stars as a teacher, quietly smirking at her own jokes throughout the antics. Directed by FREAKY FRIDAY's Mark Waters, MEAN GIRLS doesn't miss a beat, following the faithful formula of teen fare such as SIXTEEN CANDLES and HEATHERS. The soundtrack features songs by Blondie, Missy Elliot, PINK, The Donnas, and Janis Ian.

OMG OMG OMG
This film was the best thing I had ever saw!!! I bought the DVD without ever actually seeing it and now I can't get enough of it! And even though its a Chick Flick, I know boys who like it!
Cady was home-schooled in Africa until she was 16 when she was suddenly upped and moved to an American high-school. Now she has to cope with the worst girls in the school, cliques, a boy she can't have and 'the rules of femminism'.
An amazing film of Cady's ups and down through-out a year at high-school, and how she changed it forever!

PS. The soundtrack is just as FAB as the film and after watching the film I had to get the music as well!

Classic teen film with dark overtones
I was really surprised by this film. It's packaged like a chick flick, but really has a lot more in common with the likes of "Clueless", "Bring It On", even "Heathers". If you like those, you should defintely check this out. Like "Heathers", this film really goes into the tribal torment of high school, where all anyone seems to want is to fit in and be liked by the popular people (who in fact are loathed by everyone). Loved it.

TEENAGE CHICK FLICK!!!!!!! OK FOR A NIGHT IN!!!!!!!
This movie is about a new girl who has been home schooled in Africa and is now moved to America Highschool where the trouble begins as she meets the Queen B's who act like they own the School and world!!!!!!!!
Cady (Linsay) is now eating lunch with them, and shopping with them and chatting with them and going around their houses!!! Now an inoccent sweet teenager is beginning to act like a bratty teenagers obsessed with her appearance and maycup and clothes. She is now totally popular and plans to keep it that way with all the parties behind her parents backs and the bitchy ness. She ended up this way because with her pervious friends they had planned to ruin the girls lives as they had done very mean and nasty things they had done and they persauded Cady too. Cady also has a love life and it is the Sping Fling coming up and she wants to go with this really cool guy can she change back!!!!!!
See it and you'lllove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
