    Mean Girl


    "Well, I mean you wouldn't buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looks good on you"
    "I wouldn't?"
    "Right. Oh, and it's the same with guys. Like, you may think you like someone, but you could be wrong"

    They have a dresscode ("On Wednesdays we wear pink"), they have reputations ("She's a life ruiner"), they rule the school ("...she knows everything about everyone"), but mostly they are just MEAN. The teen flick Mean Girls shows the world of high school girls: the trials and tribulations of popularity (or the lack of it) by a girl who doesn't understand the system. Cady (Lohan) was born and raised in Africa and has been homeschooled her entire life. After this sheltered life, public high school is a rude awakening. Luckily for Cady she is a "regulation hottie" and quickly accepted into the popular group called the "plastics". She makes real friends with some of the less cool students who ask her to spy on the plastics so they can mock them in private...

    This is a funny movie. I mean it is an exaggeration of the life and times of high school girls, but as a girl i could identify with the struggle to be and remain popular. Is popularity really worth it? Good question. There is this fascinating mystique associated with being popular...but if you have to follow all of these rules i don't think i could do it. I think the ending is a little too happy, too perfect but after all that drama it is probably necessary... Overall i like the film, but i would tend to say most guys wouldn't like it.
