We see Lindsay Lohan before the train went off the tracks and she really delivers a fun performance. The dialogue is done well and manages to stay current. The movie flows very well and constantly has the audiences' attention. There is an actual arch for our main character and we root for her throughout. This movie is an example of a great set up, great delivery, and finishing with a lighthearted punch.
This is a feel-good movie that can be turned on whenever you're hanging out with your friends. Hayden B Super Reviewer. Mar 09, Mean Girls has absolutely no business being as phenomenal as it is.
None at all. If you've read many enough my reviews to get any sort of indication as to the sort of cinema I am in to, then you could be forgiven for assuming I wouldn't be a fan. After all, Mean Girls is about as far away from my wheelhouse as a movie could conceivably be. But I fucking love it. And I honestly can't tell you why. Every single piece of Mean Girls examined in isolation, is something I despise.
Every trope, formula, format, cliche, device and style choice is something I have ragged on a hundred times before in different reviews, but for whatever reason, I cannot put Mean Girls down. I don't think a single year has gone by since I first saw it in the late '00s that I haven't rewatched it. Usually, multiple times a year. Inexplicable, but there it is. Gimly M Super Reviewer. Aug 28, Derivative and formulaic, Mean Girls tries to put a new spin on some old material.
Scripted by SNL alumna Tina Fey, the story follows a former home school student who gets a crash course in the high school social hierarchy when she goes to public school for the first time and is taken in by the Plastics: the most popular clique in the school. And the storytelling is pretty entertaining and fun Unfortunately, the film takes a major turn at the end and becomes a preachy after school special.
Though Mean Girls shows some ambition, it ultimately sticks to the cliches. Dann M Super Reviewer. Aug 08, The ending may opt for too much happiness and resolution, but the rest of the film is such an enduring and highly re-watchable comedy that I've never really cared all that much about the more conventional material.

The imagery of clockwork is important to the phrase; if you have ever taken a clock apart to find out what makes it tick, you will appreciate how complex and challenging it is when you try to reassemble it. Kit: That sir, I have not. They sit together in class, go to the mall together after school — and they only do stuff with other clique members or people they decide are "cool.
Although people might think it's better to belong to a clique than to be excluded, many times people in cliques end up dealing with lots of pressures and rules. They soon start to worry about whether they'll continue to be popular or whether they'll be dropped. After a while, they may begin to realize that true friends wouldn't be so bossy or demanding. Cliques attract people for different reasons: For some people, being popular or cool is the most important thing, and cliques give them a place where they can get this social status.
Other people want to be in cliques because they don't like to feel left out. Some people simply feel it's better to be on the inside than the outside it's not, but more on that later. Cliques give people who like to take control a chance to be in charge for good or bad! For people who feel more comfortable following, they offer a place where rules are clearly defined.
It's usually clear to clique members what they need to do to fit in. Sometimes that means sacrificing some freedom and following the leader rather than doing what you feel like doing.
Clique membership is usually tightly controlled by the leaders. These social gatekeepers are the ones with the power to decide who should be hot and who should not. This type of membership control usually happens in cliques of girls. As many great kids have found, entry into a clique isn't guaranteed. In fact, a girl who is seen as likeable and popular may actually be excluded from belonging to a clique.
That's because her personality or confidence may pose a threat to the leaders. She might not be a good "follower" — especially if she can be popular enough on her own. Sometimes her friends may even be invited to join when she isn't. Clique members may deliberately exclude her in an attempt to take away her perceived power or the threat they think she could pose.
Cliques aren't just for girls. Guys form cliques, too — usually around a sport, computer game, or type of clothing or music. They can be just as mean as girls about the outcasts of the social group. It's not all roses inside a clique either. A person's standing within the group can always be under threat. Most of the followers cling to the leader not out of true friendship but because they want to keep their position in the group. But even the leader can lose her power.
In fact, the queen bee in a strong girl clique probably worries as much — or even more — about being popular and accepted as the outsiders do. Because no one feels secure, clique members often use the tools of flattery, humiliation, or rumors to manipulate situations and preserve their status.
A few girls manage to stay friends with people both inside and outside the clique. But that can be hard to do because there's often intense pressure from the group to be friends only with people on the approved list.
It takes a lot of self-confidence to dare to be friends with someone outside the clique. Sometimes clique members decide they want out. They don't like being limited by the rules, and they don't like leaving others out and hurting people's feelings. As people get older, they may not feel like being part of a clique anymore. Usually toward the end of high school, kids are more relaxed about who is "in" and who's not.
But earlier on in your school life it can take a lot of courage to leave a clique or decide to remain on the outside.
