synopsis
Cady Heron is a cultural blank slate when she first sets foot on the grounds of North Shore High School in a small town outside of Chicago, Illinois. After living in Africa, Cady, now a junior, has no idea how "wild" things can be in civilization until she crosses paths with one of the meanest species of all, the "Queen Bee," who at this particular high school is the cool and calculating Regina George. But Cady doesn't just cross paths with this Queen Bee--she really stings her when she falls for Regina's ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels. Now Regina is set to sting back by pretending to still like Aaron so he won't go out with Cady, all the while pretending to be her friend. With no choice but to use the same M.O. to stay in the game, the "Girl World" one-upmanship escalates until the entire school gets dragged into a first-class mean-fest.

Tina Fey, the first female head writer in the history of Saturday Night Live, is a live wire: a sexy "Weekend Update" funny girl who rarely sends out a joke without a sting in its tail. Now Fey brings her sass as a writer and actress to Mean Girls, a satire of high school bitchery that plays like Clueless meets Heathers. Lindsay Lohan, who stars in every prom-fixated movie that Hilary Duff doesn't grab first, is pert perfection as Cady, a junior who has missed a lot. Her parents have…
Consistently amusing, Mean Girls, about teen queen angst and the horrors of high school, will hit home with its target audience while providing plenty of knowing laughs for adults and plenty to ogle for teenage boys. Story If you've seen Heathers, Clueless or Jawbreaker, then you've seen Mean Girls. Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) is the new girl, having moved from Africa where she was raised (one of many comic head-scratchers that goes nowhere), and now trying to win friends in a hostile new high…

In this sharply funny film scripted by Saturday Night Live's Tina Fey, Lindsay Lohan plays a home-schooled teen who goes to high school and is soon caught up in the web of the Plastics, a clique of teenage hotties as ruthless and cunning as the KGB. Extras include the usual forced-hilarity outtakes and commentary from Fey, who mostly plays it straight.
