Mean Girls   ...   movie reviews
wed 2005-feb-02 19:46:32 pst   ...   permalink


Sunday evening we watched Mean Girls, a film about high school girls, well, being mean to each other. I heard it compared to Heathers, and while the portrayal of the various archetypal high school cliques is similar, it's really a very different kind of story.

At the opening of the film, I was kind of afraid it was going to be full of "Cady's so naive and doesn't know these things that everyone else knows" situations, which would not have sustained the movie. But in fact a little ways into it, her background isn't even really crucial to the story. Which I think was a good thing.

Really my only complaint was that there's a fair bit of cheesy stuff towards the end, but even that was not so bad, and even seemed to make fun of itself at points...
