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.

Mean Girls: Almost Too Fey to Function

121 Helpfuls 122 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fey and other SNL-ers, very funny, true-to-life for the most part
Cons horrible ending, a few over-the-top characters and moments
Recommended it? Yes

The problem with most Saturday Night Live skits and SNL-based films is that they have one joke that they beat to death, and you find yourself yelling at the screen, "Please, end! This isn't funny anymore!"

With the exception of the brilliant Wayne's World, all of the SNL projects have... Read full review »

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.
