Mean GirlsSynopsisMean Girls follows the comedic adventures of Cady, a 16 year old home-schooled girl who has to join a real high school when her parents move back to the US from being anthropologists in Africa. She has to navigate the treacherous waters of all the different cliques (such as the oversexed band members and the plastics) and befriends two outsiders who encourage her to infiltrate the plastics. Egg on their face when she slowly gets transformed and assimilated into that group and then learns her lessons. What I ThoughtThink of this movie as Clueless-lite and without the edge. It was a fun but ultimately forgettable excursion into high school life. There are some quite funny scenes, mostly of people tripping into lockers, trash cans, and other staples of physical comedy. The cafeteria map with all the cliques mapped out was very funny. In the end, you get the feeling that you've laughed a bit and it's a sweet movie. It can make a good rental. Ultimately however, if you prefer something, well, meaner, then Clueless is a lot more fun and has a lot more attitude. |
